Big Brother Africa 4: We want the Revolution!

GRRRR, sniff, arfffff!
Don’t know about you, but I feel like I’ve been reincarnated as Katy Perry’s song ‘Hot N Cold’, then marinated with more steroids than Ben Johnson in the Seoul Olympics and put in a spin dryer and blitzed backwards.

All I need now is a Kanye West love lockdown!Seriously though, I wouldn’t mind Kanye grabbing the microphone from me today!But back to Katy (yes, all you music laggards in The Namibian’s newsroom, Katy Perry!).She about sums up some of my feelings about BBA 4 at the moment:You don’t really want to stay, no …But you don’t really want to go-ohCause you’re hot then you’re cold You’re yes then you’re no You’re in and you’re out You’re up and you’re down.Eish peeps, this Big Brother is kind of having neither here nor there moments at present. The boys are here, the girls are there, but no-one’s quite here and there, or anywhere. The Revolution is in limbo!Hope come Sunday that not only will the barricades come down but that reality will BITE. Otherwise, the Revolution runs the risk of facing a viewer rebel-ution!!The pace has been erratic – kind of laced with Viagra moments followed by limp periods.The masses are restless!THE PC POLICESeems the girls have smoked out the perennial BBA pharisees: those viewers who decry any mention of sex, who frown on fun and think being laid back is one of the 69-odd positions in the ‘Kama Sutra’.I bet you they probably watch more of the show than you and I – doubtless in the hope of getting some; something to byatch about that is!The solution is simple. If BBA offends you don’t watch it.But righteousness was in full flow on the text strip: ‘Oh my, I can’t believe what I heard dem women discussing’ – turn it off then!’Can’t they discuss issues more intellectual than sex’ – switch to BBC Knowledge! I mean!!Anyway, on Wednesday night the girls had one of those sleepover goss sessions as girls do.You know, about losing your virginity, when and how, wadda, wadda, wadda. Some are apparently not averse to threesomes. Most of this while enjoying the pleasures of the Jacuzzi it seems.Errrrrr, yes.Only one comment – if the blogosphere has it right – none of them are about to enter a convent!Though some later said they spiced up their exploits in the heat of the moment.Sorry peeps, I missed it. I was helping Jack Bauer save the world on ’24’. THE BOLD AND THE BOOTYFULOtherwise, Paloma the bountiful is showing that she has the talent to be Africa’s ‘Dr Phil’. Kind of like the girl. She uses what mama gave her to good effect. Though the ‘you’re all winners’ inspirational nuggets are a bit Kentucky Fried Chicken at times. But hey, she’s young, she’s pretty and she’s got serious junk in the trunk.Liz is being her normal Gucci-rises-to-the-top self; Emma’s been trying to reincarnate herself as Michael Jackson – gloves, hat and all; Kristal’s fermenting her attitude – maybe she plans to bottle it, who knows?! And the beat goes on.Actually the girls are pretty cool in general. Definitely more lively than the guys – so far.Have to put in a word for our girl Rene, who seems to be taking her cue from Jordin Sparks and is playing it ‘One Step At A Time’. She’s pretty relaxed.As far as the guys go, when they’ve not been playing ‘soldier, soldier’ these past few days, they’ve been trying to get their Omusati clique on. Housemates are being lobbied, and alliances are being formed.Now I’m waiting for the incubators, the instigators and the infiltrators to come out of the woodwork. Eish, maybe we need to send in the Swapo Party Youth League.That’ll sort them!At present alliances seem to be forming around the smokers and the non-smokers, with Kevin and Itai kind of hovering in the middle.Seems though that the guys are united when it comes to the girls. They want females in the house but at the same time are vowing to ‘roll them’ when it comes to nominations.Ya’know, ‘we guys, we stick together’. Sighhhhhhhhhhh …..I did catch a cute moment involving Jeremy and Leonel on Wednesday night.The two of them were on late-night ‘guard duty’. Jeremy’s entourage of muscles started twitching, Leonel’s hips started gyrating and the two of them burst into a rendition of that Village People classic, ‘YMCA’, followed by Jeremy singing happy birthday to his Mum.Was really kind of sweet.
