Booty shakers and pole dancers

IT was one sexy weekend in the Big Brother Africa All Stars house with an assortment of sexy, strappy bikinis, teeny-tiny-tight dresses, towering stilettos and a ‘stripper pole’ announcing the fast-approaching start of summer.

Heck, there was even a transvestite in the house, if you swing that way … Seems Tatiana found a loophole in Lerato’s ‘dagger’, which forced her to go an entire week without talking to or touching a member of the opposite sex. Her solution – to dress Munya up as a girl!While most guys would rather suavely remove a bra from a sexy woman’s body than actually wear one, stuff it with toilet paper and parade around as a girl, Munya seemed to be pretty open minded if you consider that he has even admitted to kissing a guy during college!Tatiana managed to convince Biggie that Munya dressing up as a girl should allow her to talk to him in terms of her dagger. Biggie, with a love for all things romantic – acquiesced and the two lust-struck housemates reunited by taking a steamy shower together.Hormones are certainly buzzing, with flirtations at an all-time high and an almost electrically charged atmosphere between the guys and gals of this series. BARN FUNThings in The Barn also seem to be heating up, despite the rather unromantic ambience created by chicken poop and cows mooing away. A steady stream of alcohol seems to be loosening Hannington and Lerato’s inhibitions. I watched on Friday night as the two bumped against each other, sexily dancing the night away. The chemistry between them was was something to behold but alas, Hanni peaked too early. He passed out prematurely, leaving a rather unsatisfied Lerato with the difficult job of getting him upstairs where he could sleep off the booze. Poor old Sammi, with no one to offer him the least bit of affection, seems to be looking more and more like a hungry lion with absolutely no hope of any prey on the horizon. His leery, lechy manner is sometimes off-putting, as he tries desperately to get some action from any and everyone. Even last week as his ex-girlfriend was sitting in the Sunday night audience, Sammi was up on the big screen eyeballing Lerato and just about drooling all over her. As the only woman in The Barn last week, she was the (un)lucky recipient of his rather too affectionate affections and was the unwitting recipient of a butt massage from him. But, But, ButTA butt massage! Seriously? I don’t mean to sound old fashioned but is this how we women should expect to be wooed from now on?I’m certainly not falling for it and neither was Lerato. Even with hormones buzzing and criss-crossing the BBA All Stars world like a scene from a sci-fi flick, I still think it’s pretty safe to say that the probability of Sammi getting any nookie while in the house is a big fat zero!I actually feel sort of sorry for the guys, with so many beautiful women in the house, it surely must be torture to try and simply focus on the grand prize, let alone keep their hands to themselves. Something they clearly have no intention of doing. Especially when the gals have no inhibitions about showing off their (ass)sets!The women outdid themselves on Saturday afternoon, bringing out their sexy bikinis and lounging by the pool, showcasing to the guys of the house, and anyone who cared to watch across Africa, just what their mammas gave them. Later the guys and gals were pampered with a funky hair makeover, although I have to say not all change is good, Tatiana’s mohawk is a classic case in point.The feathery do looked rather straw-ish and left her looking more washed out than funky fresh.She still looked hot though. I mean she is a model/actress, and her appearance is her meal ticket. And it seems that with the competition from the other hot gals – everyone is trying to outdo themselves and each other. The women changed into the teeny tiniest little dresses, each trying to look their sexiest with some even forgoing some underwear to avoid the dreaded VPL (visible panty line) from spoiling the smooth silhouette of their daring dresses. Along with loads of vodka, the housemates got down to a good old party with Kenyan DJ Mix Master Joe from Capital FM. He played the most awesome selection of music and certainly left one heck of an impression with the pair of rather skimpily dressed pole dancers he brought along. Suffice it to say the guys were more than happy with their exotic performances. Heck at one stage the visiting contortionists even had Meryl and Jen blushing – and that says a lot!At the time of going to print, the eviction results were not yet known but by the time you read this, The Barn will have had an extra guest and the housemates will have begun the weekly nomination process yet again. – Keep watching all the action go down 24/7 on DStv Channel 198 and check out the nomination show tonight to see who will be nominated for eviction to the Barn this week.
