On Friday, the Ugandan fashion designer proved that she can be pretty skilful with her mouth - she won the apple challenge by transferring a barrel full of apples with her mouth in the quickest time.

The prize? Head of house for the next week! It saw the queen B of the house, Bertha, have something of a panic attack.

Could it be her blatant lack of oral skills that caused B to become a hyperventilating wreck? Or did it just suddenly hit her that with Maureen in power for the week, she may be heading home sooner rather than later? As the new head of house, Maureen and her man Code are already salivating at the thought of a night alone in the penthouse.

The pair cannot contain their excitement and even discussed whether or not they would make love on their night away from the house.

Back to school Last week housemates went back to school.

The days were filled with science experiments, ponytails and school uniforms culminating in a uniquely recyclable fashion show complete with matching his and hers wedding outfits, cardboard skirts and bubble-wrap skirts.

Needless to say, Big Brother was impressed at the housemates' creativity and talent and awarded them their full 80 per cent wager.

He also threw a bottle of tequila in the mix and, voilà - the housemates celebrated their graduation in high spirits.

DJ Waxy in da house! As the garden was turned into a swanky nightclub, complete with a fully stocked bar and dance floor on Friday, the housemates got down to the sounds of one of Africa's best DJ's - DJ Waxy.

The vinyl master set up in the diary room and the housemates, in their best clubbing outfits, danced the night away.

Tatiana was wearing an itty-bitty little pink skirt which had some of the boys mesmerised as she danced on the bar.

Code, for one, could not keep his eyes off her goodies - and all this while his very unfashionable fashion designer girl shut herself away in the bedroom - hot water bottle in hand.

As per usual, Richard started nagging Tatiana about giving the other guys too much attention ...

blah, blah, blah.

He threw one of his little temper tantrums, which was quickly forgotten once Tati turned on the charm.

She had him dry-humping away on the dance floor in no time as the two bumped and grinded their way to the early hours.

Code and Bertha also had a bit of a one on one, when the ever fake and backstabbing Bertha spoke to Code about his keeping his distance from her.

Code, not one to mince his words confronted Bertha about her apparent disinterest and disrespect for Maureen.

He also went on to say that Maxwell had exposed her two-faced ways before he left the house and that she could no longer fool him.

Seems Code has got Bertha's number.

Finally - someone who sees through her oh-so-innocent act! Wetting the bed? After dancing and drinking up a storm, an exhausted and worse for wear L-Boogie stumbled into bed only to awaken the next morning with a suspicious wet spot her bed.

Lerato was dumbfounded as she sniffed at her damp bedding but quickly came to conclusion that it was only sweat.

Eish! Could Lerato have wee-d in bed? Or did one of the housemates decide to play a nasty prank on her? Is Lerato in need of some adult nappies? I guess we will never really know, but it is so much fun to speculate.

Dance mania Saturday's goings-on in the house were hilarious to say the least.

Biggie set a dance fusion task for the housemates where they each had to perform a specific dance matched to one specific song.

Top among the funniest performances was Kwaku in his lusty leprechaun number complete with green hat and matching pants.

Lerato as a bumbling ballerina with wings and a halo was also a laugh, as was Richard's belly dancing - complete with silver belly chains and a headscarf.

Biggie could cue a song any time of the day or night, which certainly seemed to exasperate some of the housemates.

Code, who had been drinking beer since early in the morning, had to perform a waltz in a long white dress and feather boa in the early hours of the morning.

He could hardly manage to keep his feet on the stage as he side-stepped his way through the waltz! Red wine and lusty advances Have to cue in my take on Richiana's penthouse visit.

What began as one of the most romantic visits - complete with a candlelit dinner and mellow tunes - quickly degenerated into a lusty bubble bath where absolutely nothing was left to the imagination.

Later a drunk Tatiana vomited her guts out while randy Richard "took care" of her.

Boy, did he take care of her.

If you call giving her a full body grope - sorry, massage - while she was blacked out and snoozing off the effects of too much booze practising restraint, well then Ritchie Rich practised some "restraint".

Yes, he didn't go all the way but that had more to do with the fact that Tati was just too out of it! But he went far.

Now he would have housemates believe that he was practically a saint for controlling his manly urges.

Has the whole of Africa forgotten that he is married? Consummation or not, NO married man should be sitting in the bathtub with a half-naked model, or massaging her in an ill-disguised attempt to "accidentally" let his oily little fingers slip about where they have no business being! Halfway home The remaining housemates have just passed the halfway mark and Biggie seems intent on shaking things up.

With two of the most interesting people out of the house, Biggie certainly needs to liven things up to make up for the loss of both Meryl and Max.

With two housemates heading to the penthouse in a fake eviction, things are sure to get more interesting.

This, coupled with the fact that they will be provided with full access to all the backstabbing and gossiping that goes down on a daily basis in the BBA house, will surely make their surprise return on Thursday a show to watch.
