This afternoon, the housemates spent the day paying for their misbehaviour after Biggie explained the rules, and the season’s very first Friday night arena games kicked off with high stakes and intense competition. With R10,000 up for grabs, housemates had to move fast – anyone taking longer than 2.5 minutes was buzzed out!

After an action-packed round, The Don emerged as the winner, completing the challenge in an impressive 40 seconds, with no fruits formed against him- a flawless performance that set the bar for the season. 

He clinched victory with a blazing 40-second finish, edging out Lawredo, who clocked 46 seconds, while Mmeli put up a strong fight at 59 seconds.

Not everyone made it past the first part of the game. The pressure was real, and several housemates were buzzed out early, proving just how unforgiving the challenge was. From Ilano and Kokii to Neliswa, Buhle B, Trixie, and Mshefane, the first part claimed several victims, a clear sign that Biggie isn’t playing this season.

A sad moment came when Ashay clocked an impressive 52 seconds, only to forget the cup-filling stage. Biggie handed him a time penalty, pushing his final time to 1:52. In Biggie’s games, speed alone is never enough – every detail counts.

Comments flooded in on X.

The first round of Lotto Star Arena set the tone for an exhilarating season, full of suspense, skill, and unexpected twists. Fans are already buzzing to see who will rise to the challenge next week.
