The week to face fears is well underway and Biggie keeps shaking the housemates up when they least expect it. The S'ya Mosha housemates welcomed unwanted guests throughout the day.

First was a ninja who wore a scary mask, and the second was a snake that was paraded in their faces and the house could do nothing about it because of Biggie's "freeze" mechanism that compels the housemates to stop in their tracks and remain still until told otherwise. 

Watch the their reactions to the snake: 

As their nerves settled, it was time for the housemates to put their game faces on and play for a R3000 grand prize at tonight's Captain Morgan sponsored task. Completing the games with the fastest time after four rounds was Willy, who now has winnings totalling R13 000.

Jareed and PapaGhost put up a good fight but fell short to him, while McJunior was disqualified for not wearing a Captain Morgan t-shirt as advised by Big Brother. 

Biggie kept the housemates in the garden after the sponsored task, only for them to make their eventual entry with hightened suspicions of a snake in the house. Their suspicions were warranted when they stumbled upon fake snakes that were hidden in the house.

The fact that they were fake gave some of them the courage to move them around with the aim of pranking other housemates. Liema and Sinaye teamed up to hide the rubber snakes in spots that housemates frequent, forcing the faint-hearted ones to face their fears. One shared spot that the snake was hidden in was the fridge, making for the perfect spot to spark fear in the heart of anyone who craved a refreshment, and Makhekhe fell victim to the trap. 

If the pranks will be an ongoing feature of the lived experience tonight, then Makhekhe might not get a wink of sleep.
