Big Brother Africa 3: Fakes, flatliners and the art of being evil

SUNDAY’S fake double eviction couldn’t have scrambled the housemates’ brains more if Big Brother had tossed a dozen eggs into a cement mixer.

Talk about getting yolk on your face. They ranted, they raved.They even threatened Biggie.Tawana bucked and butted like one of her beloved billygoats, muttering about contracts.She inferred that if it wasn’t for having signed on the dotted line, she would *%$@ off and leave the house.Blusterado in desperado city.Evil.E.V.I.L.I love it.Mainly.But anything that gets even a hint of movement out of TK has to be good! He raised his eyebrows, pouted and grumbled.Go TK, go! Ouch.The big Zambian really needs to realise that he is a human and not an alternative life form.Seems he left his mojo as well as his skidmarks on the ramp when he entered the house.The notorious B.I.G.he is not.Lucille initially looked as if she’d been tased.Eish, the girl was as pale as Casper the Friendly Ghost.But I think that’s got more to do with her late-night chats with Munya.Tawana rasped like a turbo-charged but rusty cheese grater, Sheila was all vroom vroom on steroids and Munya mulled the psychological impact! Uti? Aaaaah Uti …the near inscrutable Uti, the Bible-punching Uti, the women-wary, insult-slinging Uti.Hmmmmmm.I think the Nigerian is probably the housemate with the strongest divide-and-rule tendencies.Watch this space.But what about his Sunday hairstyle? It looked like a cross between a roadrunner’s feather crest and a poor man’s Elvis quiff.REALITY RAGE Back to faking it.Psychological warfare is now the name of the game in the house.Housemates felt Biggie had “messed with our minds”, “played us” and were “freaked out”.Tawana feared that this type of tangling with their emotions could cause a heart attack! I think given half a chance, the housemates would have evicted Big Brother.And the two ‘evictees’? During his fake interview with KB, Thami said he felt he’d been punked, but said there was not much he would miss apart from the chance to win the US$100 000.You’ve got to be kidding! Thami looked set to equal Usain Bolt’s 100-metre record as he sprinted back to the house after being told he could return! Asked about his time, Morris said he’d kept it flat and just tried to live his life.Spot on bro.Flat is the operative word.And what did he do once back inside? Morris had one of his minor moments.After some hugs and hullos, he stood alone in a corner and …well sulked.Later Thami and Morris had an Iron John huddle over their near booting, and how many people had voted for them.And therein lies the devil.None of the remaining housemates thought to ask – that I heard anyway – if Thami and Morris had been through the normal ‘who voted for you’ procedure.Technically the two of them now have an advantage, some would say unfair advantage, especially given that one of them was supposed to be on the verge of eviction.Just hope the other 10 housemates don’t feel sorry for the ‘evictees’.If they have one Machiavellian muscle between them, strategically they should have voted the same way as they did last week.Conventional wisdom has it that those who were ‘evicted’ will be out for revenge! The suspense level has been raised – for real.* Please note that with the time change, it’s difficult for us to bring you the eviction nominees the next day.* Check out all the action on DStv’s Channel 198, the daily shows on Channel 102 at 20h00 and e-mail your thoughts, views and opinions to bba@namibian.com.naThey ranted, they raved.They even threatened Biggie.Tawana bucked and butted like one of her beloved billygoats, muttering about contracts.She inferred that if it wasn’t for having signed on the dotted line, she would *%$@ off and leave the house.Blusterado in desperado city.Evil.E.V.I.L.I love it.Mainly.But anything that gets even a hint of movement out of TK has to be good!
