This is what happened in the latest live show. 

This week’s live show was one for the books! Former housemate Liema Pantsi kicked things off in style with her smashing single, 'Let Me Be', while Jareed blessed the VIP section with his presence. But let’s be real, the night wasn’t just about the vibes – it was eviction time!

Evicted housemates: 

Beekay and Swiss were evicted from Big Brother’s house. 

Watch their journeys: 

What did they say on stage with Smash Afrika?

Beekay couldn’t believe he’d made it to the top 10 of this social experiment, especially as someone who isn’t exactly a social butterfly! When Smash Afrika asked if he had any regrets, he started with a confident “no” but quickly changed his mind, admitting that forgetting his glasses for Friday’s games was a major fail. And when asked about his relationship status outside the house? He didn’t hesitate. “Yes, I still have a girlfriend … I’ll invite you to the wedding!”

Swiss had plenty to say about his time in the house, but when it all came to an end, his reaction was a dramatic: “What a journey!” He gave a big shoutout to Mshini because “that’s my girl” but completely swerved Nsuku after their clashes this week (even though he evicted Ash-ley Ogle when he had to choose between Nsuku and her). When it came to who he’s backing, it’s all about Sweet Guluva: “That’s my boy. KZN is taking it!” And as for Philile? He kept it cool, saying, “Philile was a good friend.” But let’s be real – after all those cuddles, he’s got some explaining to do outside the house!

How did Smash Afrika shake tables? 

Over in the house, Mshini had everyone cackling as she confidently reminded the gang that the only people worth gossiping about are, well … each other – fully justifying her week-long tea-spilling sessions with Nsuku in the HoH loft. Although the question required her to be direct about who the main characters in her gossip sessions were, she dodged that bullet like a chick in the Matrix. 

How many  housemates remain?

Eight housemates remain, and like Smash Afrika said, they are a few steps away from walking away with the grand prize.
