Big Brother Africa: Hit me with your best shot!

PEOPLE, I’m in a fix. Big Brother Africa 2 ended just short of two weeks ago, and you still want more.

And, oh brother, am I taking flak! One or two of my colleagues have started to label me an “embarrassment”: they’re accusing me of feeding people’s BBA addiction! Ouch!! Strange, never thought of myself as a dealer or a pimp. I tell you, the German cavalry and the horse brigade in our newsroom are breathing down my neck.S’true! I sit quivering behind my computer like a fugitive from justice (not you maJustus, never you!) waiting for a total onslaught.Wonder if Dante’s Inferno is more welcoming?! Just remember when they drag me (I’m not up for eviction, never!) kicking and screaming out of the house, oops I mean the newsroom, I did it ALL for you! You think Richard “risked” everything ‘to play the game’ on BBA 2?!! Think again.Hella, people, I RISKED my ‘gravitas’.I’m still risking it.If we had the capacity for a blog on our website that would be the ideal solution.But it’s not possible at present.Just thought of another option: maybe I could set up a BBA BEE! In the meantime, I’m sneaking this in today and hope that only you BBA fans will notice it.OK Richiana fans, special preference for you – you gave me the most love today.Please know that I do have your concerns at heart.But jeez, trying to get news out of Tanzania and Angola on Richard and Tatiana is like trying to have an orgy in a monastery.I kid you not.Don’t even know how to interpret the sounds of silence.What I do know is that the Tanzanian media are not doing their job.Full stop! I really think we need to lodge a complaint with whatever media commission they have in their country.They are failing.Big time.To ‘The Bongo Sun’, it’s just not good enough! A whole lot of people’s welfare depends on news about Richiana.Believe me.And, just for the record, with Bertha, aka B, now said to be in Namibia, I’ve established a demilitarised zone around my desk.I know B and I made nice in Jozi, but I’m not sure the truce is still holding! So, just in case ….:) Welcome to Namibia Bertha, Max, Lerato and Kwaku.And welcome home, Meryl! Something BBA fans might enjoy.My TVSA blog friend Brown Shuga (the one in the red dress who’s made a couple of guest appearances on this page!) has just interviewed hunky Big Brother Nigeria housemate Ebuka (25), and I thought Namibian BBA fans would be interested in a couple of extracts: * Brown Shuga: So who was your favourite BBA 2 housemate and why? Ebuka: I’m not so sure that I had a favourite.I know most of them had traits that I liked.Meryl for one.She did not want to live by anyone’s standards.Justice, for standing up to everyone and making the early parts of the show worth watching.Ofunneka for living in the midst of all the relationships and kissing, and still keeping her head up.Lerato for making the other housemates know that if you do not stand up for yourself, no one will for you, and so many others …* Brown Shuga: What’s up with your obsession with Meryl??? & what is it about her??? Ebuka: First of all, it’s nowhere near an obsession!!! Secondly, every man likes a near perfect body.But that aside, I thought that she was giving the other ladies a run for their money by constantly being in their faces.And being the youngest housemate, that had to be commendable.She may have overdone some things but she still wouldn’t jump to another guy the moment his girl is evicted, nor did she cause an uproar or division in the house for being nominated, nor did she date a married man! And boy, did she look hot on that final Sunday!!!
