The week in the Big Brother Mzansi house kicked off with a thrilling scavenger hunt, sending housemates scrambling to uncover mysterious envelopes. It wasn’t long before six envelopes surfaced, landing in the hands of Beekay, Nsuku, Swiss, and Uyanda – some clutching one, others with two. Speculations ran wild as housemates tried to decode Biggie’s grand plan, but no one was prepared for what was to come.
Then came the big reveal: The envelopes held tickets to the infamous boiler room – a place of "jeopardy and high-stakes decisions". Anxiety swept through the house as the moment approached, and no one was more terrified than Nsuku, who was in tears and had to be comforted by her fellow housemates. With nerves on edge, everyone hoped the boiler room would deliver some golden perks rather than devastating blows.
As housemates entered one by one, Biggie’s brief made things crystal clear. Each envelope holder had a chance to buy an exclusive treat – either for themselves or for themselves and a fellow housemate. But there was a catch: every purchase came at a cost, directly deducted from the R2 million grand prize! A solo treat started at R5,000, while a duo indulgence pegged at R10,000. However, the longer they would take to make a decision, the price would go up. Talk about pressure!
The choices were made, and the numbers rolled in, totalling R50 000!

Now, here’s where things get juicy – this spending spree is still a secret! The housemates don’t yet realise that their potential winnings have taken a hit, nor do they know that Swiss could have shared his treat but didn’t. When the truth comes out, expect fireworks!
Will alliances shift? Will the housemates regret their choices? One thing is for sure – this boiler room twist has thrown a spanner in the works, and the game will never be the same. Stay tuned for the drama!
