Khalid has been evicted!

He received 10.72% of the final votes. If his total tally is combined with that received by Ilebaye, who got the least votes of 8.51%, he would still have been evicted. He would have met this fate because his total at 19.63% would have been less than Groovy’s total who came in third with 19.68%.
Khalid went into the house, ostensibly, with a strategy of meaningless daily sex and he ended up with the debacle of being a second week evictee – excluding the initial week where no eviction took place.
After all the romps, he left with a meagre statistical count which daily sex could not give a relevant uptick.

He will now spend a whole week answering media questions about live sex on a reality TV show.
He will spend a whole year wondering what embarrassing clips will be shown at the reunion and he will spend a whole lifetime hoping that the internet forgets.
This is condemnable.
I have opined before that this show engenders collective victimhood.
Months from now, Khalid is going to come to rue the choices he made in the house, if the process of regret has not already commenced.
Fundamentally, he has become the victim of a platform that chewed him up, drained him of his essence of decency and spat him out wishing him good luck with his life’s endeavours.

What endeavours are those exactly?
The one where at an interview with a multinational company, a search of his name will yield videos of onscreen intercourse?
Multichoice has become the perverted circus master taking advantage of young Nigerians who are pining for fame and are ready to leap through flaming hoops for ephemeral wealth.
They yell ‘jump’ and then watch as their caged housemates respond with evermore explicit acts of sexual display.
Proclaiming that the show is rated-18 is the infantile excuse deployed in the promotion of this orgy-inducing, sex-soaked, profanity-laden platform; especially when countless clips and hours of the show make it to platforms that do not have a similar age rating; for example, Youtube.

Why seemingly family-friendly brands like Arla, Munch It and Knorr would want to put their names and imprimatur on these lewd live acts is still befuddling to me.
If Multichoice has decided to befoul and cannibalise itself by putting this live-sex idiocy on screen, why do you have to enter the same dung pit?

Inevitably, a housemate receiving oral s*x in the bathroom will engage in the act while putting on a Knorr apron.
Another may be seen masturbating while putting on an Arla t-shirt or another may finish eating a pack of Munch It before engaging in under-the-duvet copulation.
Is this the type of representation you want for your brand?
You, like Khalid, may spend a lifetime hoping the internet forgets.
It will not.
Multichoice has made its bed of filth; do not crawl into it with them.
The statistics have spoken.

Once again this is my prescribed practicable solution involving simple rule changes:
One, give a strike to anyone engaging in s*x or s*xual activity and define exactly what you mean by s*x.
Two, restrict access to alcohol or give extra benefits or coins to those who are able to abstain from it.
Three, deduct points or put fines in place for swearing and using dirty language.
This would broaden the appeal of the show, add more interesting plot twists and make its gamification more robust.

We have to do better.
Godspeed.
