Big Brother Africa 4: Signed, sealed and delivered?

EISH, people. I’ve only got time for a few quick words today.
I was frog-marched out of the office this week, kicking and screaming, and taken off to an undisclosed location for anger management control.

Have managed to slip away from my minders for a few minutes, but have to pull a fast one before I’m detected by an interceptor centre.Aaaaah RAGE! That hot stuff that bubbles to the surface and conveys emotion!But have to concede that I’m as livid as a climate-threatening hot spot.First it was the honorifics in the National Council playing fast and loose with the views of the people, then it was the horror-rifics of Big Brother preparing to chew up and spit out Namibia’s housemates.Which brings me to the most immediate issue.Keep voting for our Namibian housemates – Edward, Erastus and Rene.It’s a tough one. Votes for our popular Namibians will be split because all three of them are up for eviction. I also can’t shake the belief that the decision to put three housemates up was only taken after Biggie saw who’d made the nomination list. Everything points to it.And I’m far from the only one who thinks so.But for now our best hope is to try and keep at least one Namibian in the house.I’m hoping against hope that there’s some twist to this week’s eviction saga. I MEAN!Thanks to my friend Garikai Mazara for sending me an article by a Kenyan journalist, T Mochama, which I enjoyed. Hope you will too!He makes some interesting observations about BBA 4. Some extracts:’When they kicked out our Teddy Muthusi and Wayoe of Ghana, I had mixed feeling. Mixed because I know Teddy personally, and think he would have been one of the greatest housemates ever seen on BBA. But like the prodigy who dies before we have seen even 10 per cent of their potential, now we can only wonder ‘what might have been’.No hating on Jeremy, but other than his collegial hunk looks, his personality seems as deep as a pothole on a road the Chinese have just finished working on. But for patriotic reasons, we are backing him to the hilt!The other chap who left Big Brother House, Wayoe, was a wannabe demagogue from Ghana, behaved as if Obama is his father – and tried to launch a ‘Kwame Nkrumah’ career on the reality show. Good riddance, to LOUD rubbish.The other fool currently trying to launch a ‘Kaone West’ career on BBA IV is Kaone, of Botswana. Uki-kaone yeye, weka tyre.Enough of the lads, let’s get back to Sunday’s big happenings! Nothing happened! The eviction of Edna of Angola and Maggie of Zambia had the exact effect of dipping one’s hand in a pail of water, removing it – and expecting to find the shape of the water changed.The problem with the contestants in this season’s BBA is that they seem to lack … personality!!Tepid folk on this show, I tell you.Also, the ka-chap they have hosting the eviction show is pure mavi ya marabou stork, a dork and a bore! He has zero charisma, imagination or presence. If they couldn’t afford Kabelo no more, si then they could have at least made a bid for Dr Mitch, before he went to mess Sheila Mwanyiga’s marvellous act on TPF III?’Stay tuned!* Tune in to DStv Channel 198 or 199 to catch the action live 24/7, or watch the daily highlights show on M-Net (DStv Channel 101/102) and AfricaMagic (DStv Channel 114) every day at 18h30.
