It's only been 72 hours, but the dynamics are already shifting in Biggie’s house. The housemates' first diary session revealed that there is definitely tension in the air, despite the short time the housemates have spent together. All we can say is that Biggie definitely cooked with these housemates because they are quite a spicy bunch.

The diary session gave the housemates a chance to vent and cry and share the excitement of the first few days ... that is, when Biggie could hear them. Some housemates are already losing their voices! Biggie needs to load up on apple cider vinegar and throat lozenges.

But what is the reason for the brewing tension? Is it the budding romances? Pre-game jitters? Or simply a clash of egos? Sjoe! It's only been three days but it seems like the housemates are going through the most. Whatever the reason, one thing is certain: something is brewing, and it's only a matter of time before the drama reaches a boiling point, and we're here for that. The hot water is already on standby and with the right ingredients the housemates will give it to each other hot. 

Despite the tension, the housemates have managed to form bonds and connect with each other. They're actively preparing for their upcoming presentation, where they'll showcase their talents and creativity, giving us a glimpse into who they really are. Speaking of the presentation, rehearsals were going down during diary sessions, and they're going to need to focus and work hard, because they've wagered 100% and it's their first week! Will they shine? Keep watching and sharing your thoughts on the socials.
