The Big Brother Mzansi house will naturally be filled with unique individuals who hold equally unique views. This season has had a focus on relationships and their complexities, what with the presence of the likes of Willy and Zee.:
Give me sugar, mama
Willy's romantic preference has been a point of debate among the housemates who hold a fascination about his taste for older women. Willy has been open about his attraction to cougars and has had to endure questions about the oldest woman he has dated and his family's reception to his type. Age is nothing but a number to him. Willy spoke to Sinaye and Young Pappi about why he prefers older women, and he explained that he is drawn to the fact that their decisions are made with careful thought and reason, as opposed to him meeting an indecisive peer at a club.
Watch Sinaye's reaction to Willy's type:
Money is all I want
Willy is not the only housemate whose type is constantly questioned. Today Zee explained her natural attraction to men with the money to maintain her lifestyle. Young Pappi interrogated why she chooses men in a certain tax bracket and Zee explained simply that she does not go after them, but they come after her. Zee has detailed the type of man that she desires for herself and, to put it simply, a man who knows how to make her life soft. That means he needs to be mobile so he can pick her up when she needs, and one who has money to cover all the bills because her money is for wigs and nothing that reeks of struggle.
Young Pappi attempted making a point at unfair gender dynamics when he asked if Zee would give him money, and he received her pause as confirmation that the roles are imbalanced. If one dared to read between the lines, the assumption is that Zee was hinting at the unlikely possibility of their 'friendship' developing into more than what they have been doing anyway.
Spreading the love
Tradition has escaped the housemates this season. The idea of the throuple that comprises of Jareed, Liema, and Mpumi (featuring Els) has kept the housemates talking. Jareed's polygamy transformed into a polyamorous arrangement when Liema and Mpumi were caught making out in the shower with Jareed and the rest of the house being witness to their steamy kiss. They moved on to sleep on the same bed, and although Mpumi has since removed herself from the situation, she has chosen her former sister wife, Liema, to be her HoH suite companion.
The idea of a blended ship is one that PapaGhost has been wrestling with. Since his entrance in a lace suit, he has found love with the season's bride, Lerato Modise. His rash commitment seems to be the cause of a intrapersonal conflict between his intentions for Lerato Modise, and his desires for Els and Zee.
With PapaGhost's secret confessions of lust and foot massages with Els, his actions towards her are an interesting layer to the seemingly impenetrable ship.
