A night after the Thursday night pool party and some Chillers Punch is always an interesting one as housemates recover. Here's what's been happening in the house today. 

22:55 Siphesihle gets emotional with Beekay, venting about how the other housemates are acting nonchalant about the prize money being deducted. She's frustrated about having to take part in the challenge to make back R150,000, and it's clearly weighing on her.

22:25 Mshini tells Beekay and Swiss she has zero regrets about buying the message from home, even if it had cost R500,000, she would’ve still gone for it. The gents agreed, saying it was totally worth it.

22:00 Biggie just hit the housemates with a bomb. After spending R50,000 each on messages from home, that amount has been deducted from the prize money. To make back R150,000, they’ll need to fill the jacuzzi using cups, and they’ve got until 1pm tomorrow to finish.

21:30 Siphesihle spills the tea to Sweet Guluva, saying that her and Nsuku were chatting about him. She said she's noticed since Ashley left, he’s been on a winning streak, just like he did in week one before his ship started.

21:15 Uyanda's punishment is in and it’s spicy. Starting tomorrow, he’s on dish washing duty and into the rest of next week that’s if he survives eviction.

20:48 – The crown for this week’s Friday night games goes to none other than Uyanda.🏆 He’s snatched another R5000 this season. 💸 

19:10 The Friday night games just kicked off. This week’s theme is Mystic Fortune and the first game is called Cherry Blossom Drop.

18:06 It looks like Siphesihle's prank didn’t quite land on Beekay. she's telling Abobo that she feels like she didn’t sell herself well enough for Beekay to believe she’s really into him. She said she’s done with pranks for now.

16:26 Siphesihle finally chats to Beekay about feeling jealous in light of expressing her feelings to him. 

14:07 Nsuku and Mshini say they could never date men who wear foundation. Nsuku adds that she even saw a guy in the house applying it.

15:27 Swiss says some people came in with strategies, but he’s not a fan of that – he chose to just be himself

14:46 Siphesihle tells Jojo how she plans to end the Beekay prank, admitting she wants to give up, but Abobo encourages her to keep going. Jojo also tells her that she thought she liked Sweet Guluva, but she realises that she did not. 

14:14 Nsuku says she doesn’t have friends outside because her first friend turned into Judas. She also clarifies that saying she didn’t care if Mata left was just emotions talking, not because she came alone.

14:10 HoH Nsuku and her guest are having yet another gossip session about Beekay and Nate. Nsuku says all Beekay has in his brain is Nate, and Nate says Nsuku is her enermy. 

13:54 The muffins are ready, and Nate scoops them out, suggesting they store them, but Jojo says, "We are eating then now." 

13:09 Jojo and Nate worked together to whip up a muffin mix. 

12:00 Jojo takes a dip in the pool with Nate, soon joined by Abobo, Siphesihle, Sweet Guluva and Uyanda. 

11:37 Abobo cleaning the braai stand that he used to braai the meat for the Thursday night pool party that "miraculously" went missing because mission steal-the-meat is still in full force. 

11:26 "I slept, it's enough" Jojo says after housemates get back into the house after taking another slumber in the garden. She indulged in some ice cream and asked SIphesihe if they could go swimming. 

10:00 The housemates' day started late today after they all took naps after their gym session. Sweet Guluva moved to the brown couch to take a nap there, and Uyanda woke up for some chores, but went staright back to bed afterwads. They were forced to wake up after Biggie called the HoH to the diary room to alert the house of linen changing duty. But they all went right back to bed after the sheets were placed on the kitchen floor.
