In their bid to become the ultimate influencers, the housemates set up props, and cameras and gave their best pose only to find out that getting the job done is no child's play. The housemates figured this out as they navigated the space and their roles in a bid to curate the best representation of a variety of Unilever products, Captain Morgan and Lotto Star. From one outfit to the other, pose after pose and stern direction from the man of the moment, HoH and first-ever S'ya Mosha finalist, PapaGhost, there was no room for error.
A section of the lounge was cordoned off as a set, draped with a colourful backdrop and an assortment of products. Though there were interludes of arguments and generally not seeing eye to eye, the show had to go on.
At one point, set director cum camera guy, HoH PapaGhost seemed unimpressed with the direction of his models, to the extent of snapping at them, prompting a Willy take-over while he let off steam by focusing on another project with Mpumi.
Meanwhile, McJunior had a heart-to-heart with Willy about his childhood and why he enjoys his own space.

Fun with the influencers
Biggie surprised the housemates with social media cutouts and a microphone to help them prepare to be the ultimate influencers. The housemates took turns playing Instagram influencers with the social media cutout as they sang and danced, standing behind the cutout while holding items. PapaGhost filmed the housemates as they took turns doing this before heading to the restroom for another round of shooting with Sinaye playing influencer.
The housemates are still trying to find out what works best for their influencing gig, experimenting with different poses and props to see what resonates with their imaginary audience.
The Braai masters challenge

The housemates then transitioned to the Braai challenge, where they were tasked with grilling various meats to win. The Top 7 were divided into two teams: Team Braai Grillers, which included Mpumi, Sinaye, Willy and Zee and Team Master Blenders, Makhekhe, McJunior and PapaGhost.
Team Braai Grillers chose Mpumi to braai their beef and Willy to braai their chicken, while Team Master Blenders chose Makhekhe to braai their chicken and McJunior to braai their beef.
Team Braai Grillers won the challenge, with a cool R15,000 to be shared amongst them. The win did not go down well with Team Braai Masters who believed that the braai from the other team was undercooked. After the housemates returned to the house, the losing team continued to make a case for themselves with the fact that their meat was well done, and the only reason they lost the challenge was that they failed to identify one of the key ingredients that Team Braai Grillers used in preparing their allegedly undercooked braai.
