Big Brother Africa 3: It ain’t over till it’s over!

GREAT to see Namibians rallying behind Lucille with their messages to the BBA TV text strip!! A special shout-out to Hilaria.

Whenever I tune in, there seems to be a message from you. Also the texter who’s flying the flag with their ‘One Namibia, One Nation’ SMSes.Keep it going y’all.And KEEP VOTING.It ain’t over till it’s over.Call me optimistic, call me Namibian, but I’m not convinced our girl is necessarily going to be the one ramping out.As things stand, looks like it’s a shoot-out between Lucille and Uti.A potential plus is that at the end of the day it comes down to country votes; a potential negative is that it’s mainly women who seem to have their knives out for Lucille, and they tend to be more prolific voters.And jeez, do they hit new heights when it comes to breaking the lu-dicrous barrier! That’s one thing.But what gets me are a couple of the seething, bitter hate nests on the Oboma social thread.Eish! You need to be inoculated to venture near them, and even then I’m not sure there’s an antidote strong enough to counter the poison being spewed by the likes of someone called Gillian.Straight-out dissing is one thing, but believe me peeps, some Lucille haters are tripping on vile and bile.HIGHLIGHTS & LOWLIFES Not staying long today BBA nation, but a couple of highlights and lowlifes worth mentioning.During her diary session, Lucille told Biggie there’s a strong chance TK has replaced himself with her.She thinks TK blames her for his stolen cigarettes, and she says that he’s said the person who stole them should be evicted.Ricco’s on the same page.During his face to face with The Voice he says he’s 70 to 75 per cent sure TK’s thrown Lu into the mix.He also repeats more or less what he told Mimi in the bedroom the other night, that he’s trying to win Lucille’s trust and that he thinks they can be good friends ….hmmmm.OK, Angolan dude quickly fessed up that he would like to be more than her friend! During his heart-to-heart with Mimi, Ricco said he was ready to wait no matter how long it took, that he was even prepared to travel to Windhoek after the show ended …Cue in the Celine Dion classic, “Our love will go on.”Oh Ricco, you are so the loooooover boy! GIVE A DOG A BONE OK, Munya’s one of my main men but he really pushed my buttons this week.All of them.Lu’s tried to tell him every which way but dished up that she just wants to be friends.Full stop.But Munya keeps on trying to insert commas.As someone SMSed to the BBA strip: “Munya, which part of NO don’t you understand …”As if that wasn’t enough, Munya did a not-so-licious when he cried on Tawana and Hazel’s shoulders.He gave them such a twisted version of his “situation” with Lucille that I had Thami mouth fall-out.I could have swallowed a continent whole and still been able to flash my Aquafreshes.Jeeeeez bro, wassup? As Hovito said on the TVSA blog: “Munya is talking the way we used to talk when we were still virgins and lying to our friends that we got laid.”When the girls squeezed Munya on how he felt, he said: “The only reason it bothers me is because I didn’t get some.”Talk about a dog with a boner.Shem.The testosterone truth is out! PIECES OF YOU On Wednesday night the inmates ended up playing ‘True Confessions’.TK got everybody to write down something about one of the others, put it in a hat, with the comments then read aloud! Revelations.What came out was …well, way more than a little gunge, though that hit the fan too.Seems Morris and Uti have been getting their blow on and outsourcing their snot! S’true.Someone wrote that they hate it when Morris “blows his nose in the pool and in the basin”.Ditto Uti.Lucille was showered with compliments and admiration and romantic overtures like “I can’t wait until I kiss you” or “you would look better with nothing on but Hazel’s apron”.Mimi’s shocked to find out that someone thinks she’s a fake …If you’d only be genuine it would be nice to be your friend”; Ricco’s accused of having bad breath; Hazel’s told she gives people “the silent stare”: Lucille’s also told she’s not as innocent as she tries to make out, while another housemate says TK voted for Sheila; Munya’s told to man up …and there’s even male-to-male propositioning! Sjoeeeee! It left the housemates in emotional freefall and trying to find out who tumbled who!
