Head of House McJunior read a brief from Biggie informing the housemates that the theme for the week is Mjolo: The Valentine's Edition. In keeping with the theme, housemates each blindly selected their partners by pulling their names out of a box and the pairs were assigned the duty of rehearsing and performing a Mzansi love song for their wager presentation on Thursday.
The week of love
Valentine's Day is this Wednesday, 14 February so it's only fitting that the week in Biggie's house be dedicated to love. The housemates themselves who have expressed interest in each other will have the opportunity to showcase their affection and bond through their performances. The housemates were not necessarily paired with their love interests but we are sure Biggie wants love to be shared amongst all of them.
The task and wager
Just before the theme was announced, housemates were confident enough to wager 100 per cent. This will be the first time they to go all in as the past two weeks have seen them hold back and play it safe with their wagers. For their presentation on Thursday, the pairs selected their love songs in the same way they found eachother, via a lucky dip.
On Thursday, each pair will be expected to perform their chosen song and will be judged on the following;
Injecting a personal touch to the song they have chosen.
Chemistry between the pairs.
Overall performance delivery.
Biggie also stated that overall judgment would be based on how well the housemates carry out the tasks that Big Brother will give throughout the week.
