Big Brother Africa 2 (II)!

Ofunneka is Head of House and will not be going home this weekend. So she will not be the first housemate to be evicted. yippee. (phew). She appears to be a good leader, laying down rules and preparing rosters for showering, eating and doing chores. Lerato and Meryl are seriously unhappy with the development and challenge every rule she makes. but homegirl is wise and puts everything to vote. She's doing okay right now. guess she's more leader than follower.

Missed the Sunday task, no thanks to NEPA (National Embarrassment and Public Amazement) and my landlord who says i can't use my generator upstairs anymore. WTF? Anyways i hear that homegirl did good. Did anyone watch it? Didn't miss the Truth or Dare Kiss though. That was priceless. Meryl had to kiss Kweku on a dare and she gloried in the moment, drawing out the kiss for as long as she could. Meryl is definitely going to straf someone in that house. All her hormones are just raging out of control. But Kwaku seems to be slipping inexorably towards Tatiana, so Meryl may have to get her straffing elsewhere. Except, of course Kwaku decides to play the role of true player for real and obliges her with some.

but Tatiana is in a relationship that appears to be serious, so which way for Kwaku? He could be fighting a losing battle as tatiana has remained noncommittal, to the best of my knowledge at least. Code i expected to be a hit with the ladies but hasn't formed any discernible affiliation with any particular chic. Max and Lerato, hmm, that one completely threw me. but they are yet to kiss so i'm still looking at them as playing with each other. Max appears to be more tripped with the situation than Lerato though. Lerato on the other hand considers it all a joke and is playing along. but how long can they play along with this "joke" without straying into "no joke." As my people say,na from clap them dey enter dance o.

Bertha is a Miss Goody Two Shoes with a cutting edge. During their rehearsals for the group song, her line was "12 people 12 countries, and some of them really looked like monkeys" and i'm like, she couldn't get another line to rhyme with countries? The other housemates were clearly uncomfortable with the line as it was dangerously close to the truth and tried to suggest other lines but she stuck doggedly to that line. i don't know if that was the line she delivered in the actual performance though.

There was also a line about "Alcohol brings out the best in you." I had thought someone would have been smart enough to know that it was a very bad line for 12 african adults to trumpet to millions of viewers worldwide, but sadly no one picked up on the potential damage that line could cause to millions of impressionable youngsters watching. I know the show is rated 16 but let's not kid ourselves, we know that people much younger than 16 watch the show. I kept screaming at the screen for them to take out that line, but not surprisingly, no one heard me. I thought that was inexcusable. Am i the only one?

Ofunneka thinks our population is nearly 120 million. I thought we were closer to 140 million. i mean, wasn't that the result of the last census? but apparently, the housemates geography isn't too strong. Meryl for example  didn't know for certain how many regions (equivalent to our states) are in namibia her home country. she thought they were 13 and murmured a fervent prayer that she wasn't misinforming people on international television. (She was right. Namibia actually has 13 administrative regions. SHe apparently knows something beside stripping and sexual innuendo). Ofunneka said, I think we have 36 states in Nigeria. Come on sista, you think? You don't know for sure?

You may have noticed Lerato and Meryl calling Justice by the name 'Leppy.' It is an abbreviation of the word Leprechaun. A leprechaun is a mythical Irish elf living in a realm lying somewhere between the physical and spirit world. It is portrayed as a small man of about 2 feet in height with pointed ears, large bushy sideburns or a full curly beard, sparkling green eyes, and fair skin with rosy cheeks and nose. He wears mostly green clothes. All leprechauns wear black, shiny leather shoes with silver buckles, as they are excellent cobblers, a reputation and trade in which they take great pride. This also ties in with Justice wearing shoes everywhere, even in bed. Though a very cruel name to give Justice, it does ring true on a subliminal level. Leprechauns are full of trickery and justice has often played tricks on the housemates, most notable amongst which was waking the other housemates way before time and telling them Biggy had a task for them. He seems to be getting close with Tatiana, but i can bet my Getaway Club payout that Tatiana's only trying to make him more comfortable with his height. Nothing is happening there so folks, no need to watch that space. (you all know what Getaway club is, i take it? If not, see below)

When Jeff said he could do 3000 push ups, i was impressed but when i saw his exercise routine, i untripped. That guy knows absolutely nothing about exercising. I know next to nothing about that but i know that Jeff's exercise moves do nothing for the body. his pushups need to be seen to be believed. The only part of his body that is likely to be affected by those pushups is his d**k. It runs the risk of being crushed by being slammed repeatedly into the ground. Then there's a peculiar move he does lying down on his back. There are simply no words to describe it. You need to wake up earlier than shower hour to catch him humping the garden furniture.

Richard was preparing to appear in drag during sunday's talent task. He borrowed a bra and scandalously short skirt from Meryl and went on and on about freedom of expression. He showed us he was in touch with his feminine side, but i didn't quite appreciate him speaking for the rest of us by saying "inside every man there is a woman." He confessed to often wearing his wife's undergarments at home. Isn't that some kind of illness? I'm not too sure again. but i don't think its normal sha. Richard married too young, if you ask me. I don't think his mind is fully formed yet. My own opinion.

Maureen put on some kind of calisthenics display for the Sunday task i hear, while Meryl was cutting some truly scandalous clothing for her Big Brother fashion line. I really wanted to see her strut her stuff in that outfit. But it was not to be. (see above).


Will be back with more gist on nominations for eviction, or sooner if something really hot happens in the house. See y'all later.
