It was a day filled with real talk, intense competition, and unforgettable moments in the house. While prepping for the Friday Night Games, Jojo and Mandy Hagan got candid about their experiences with rejection, heartbreak, and vulnerability.

Jojo shared how she had developed feelings for Sweet Guluva, but he blindsided her by saving someone else from eviction by replacing them with her. She was shocked, hurt, and felt betrayed, especially since she thought they had built a connection. Jojo joked that her crush rejected her on live TV. Hiding her pain with laughter.

Mandy Hagan opened up about her own heartbreak, saying she's been there too. She shared her own experiences with rejection and how it hurts. The two ladies bonded over their shared struggles, showing the power of female friendship and solidarity.

The Friday Night Games were lit! The challenges were wild, fun and tested the housemates' skills, strategy, and luck. There were four rounds, each with its unique twist and difficulty level.

The first challenge was Champagne Pong, where contestants had to ping pong balls into champagne glasses while standing behind a plank. It required focus, hand-eye coordination, and a bit of luck.

The second challenge was Balancing Bet, where contestants had to plant straws into a rice container and balance gold coins on each straw.

The third challenge was Seeing Double, where contestants had to replicate the decorations of a cocktail glass, including fruit kebabs, colored umbrellas, and other fancy touches.

The final challenge was Sour Lemon, where contestants had to grab a lemon from a big glass, place it on a dot in a mini obstacle course, and use a putt-putt stick to navigate the lemon through the course and into a round hole at the end.

In the end, Mandy Hagan made history as the first woman to win the Friday Night Games, taking home R5,000 in cash! She was overwhelmed with emotion and joy, and the housemates cheered her on, celebrating her epic win.

It was a night to remember, filled with laughter, excitement, and inspiration. Congratulations to Mandy Hagan on her well-deserved win!
