I predict that she might be one of the last girls standing, maybe she might even get to second position, but she can't win. Sentiments aside, the issue of her lack of good spoken communication is a drawback even Dbanj and the organisers can never ignore. Even in international beauty pageants of nowadays, if you can't speak proper English, if you like be an angel on earth, you can never win. Brains, good diction and beauty all go together in this competitive world.

amibeke, eehh, Rita is fine oooh, I dint say she hain't o, especially now that she had changed her hair colour to black. I had to do a doubletake today, when she smiles her face lights up. I'm beginning to understand what people see in her. But is she a kokolet? Hmmn, she is easily outshined by the more pushy, in-your-face girls. Some are best in dancing, best in cooking, best in--- Rita I'm ur fan ohh, but please show one sign that in the outside world, no one can dare intimidate you. So many chicks out there that didn't come out for the show, Rita you will meet them during D'banj's outings which you will follow him if you win. Can you face anything and anyone? That's what I'm dying to find out.

To be fair, the show has many good points I have come to enjoy: that is, the visits from one celebrity or the other, from rap stars M.I to Omawumi to Derenle and some "brand" advertising executives who were treated to the "Rebranding Nigeria" presentation where Rita gave her now infamous Nyahoo nyahoo presentation . In fact, after watching the summary of the show where they showed all the best bits from the beginning to the present, I had to say I was impressed. Every girl has her own special flavour, and some of them are really quite polished and pretty. I already know the one I want to win - not Rita sha, though she has a pretty smile and a sweet personality, she's far from my idea of an ideal kokolet. Overall, the show is OK. D'banj, kudos to you for even having the liver.

trimandtrendy, wow, anyone who can do more than 200-250 sit-ups a day deserves my respect! I used to do this number in my fit days . But now to do even 20 in the morning na dyyyeee. Keep it up, nice thread.

.

Fan page ke . But this Rita, does she truly fit the real definition of "kokolet" as described by D'banj when he first came out? "As I waka for the street I see one baby yo/Her name na "No be small"/Because she fine no be small and her front no be small/And her backside no be small----" Rita fans no kill me o! But a kokolet must be a kokolet. Yes, good character and being natural is fine . But babe has gat to represent! Unless they want us to swallow what D'banj now wants "kokolet" to mean: Responsible, Hardworking, and Natural African Woman." Hmmn.

Good show or not, it is evidently a "hot" show, judging from the number of texts pouring in live. But I do not judge quality of a show according to how many people like or watch it. I judge it by its content, and you already know what I think about that.

Yep, nomination and then, eviction nights, are the only two things to look forward to. Unless, of course, Noirin finally makes a choice and moves on to at least one of the guys in the house. She's officially the only single, straight girl left----

@ congoshine,

don't really know what to say, but here's my own _little way of showing my thanks----

Mohawkchic, as usual, spot on on all aspects, LOL. "Dogface still in cookoo land," rotf! And these new hm8s look like they're going to bungle the secret task - it's just so difficultly dumb! The old hm8s can see right through them! Anyway, I'm laughing my head off at Rodrigo now lying in the bathtub crying like a lass because his legs were shaved wrong! Right now the house is such a chaotic blend, I don't think I could bear to focus on it. A weekend dose at eviction time will prolly be ok for me.

Blind reasoning.

@ queenafric

In a word: yes. Terence Trent D'Arby, Smokey Robinson, Bobby Womack, Stevie Wonder and countless oldies and goodies are on my playlist right next to Soulja Boy, Lil' Wayne, Kanye West and Keri Hilson. Where do you think I get all my inspiration?

@squad1

considering that I saw that he replied to my posts in the TV/Movies section, and then the Music section, I got curious. And now that I've seen this thread, I can only say that congoshine, you're really one of a kind: you must be a very confident and self-assured person to do what you have done. I am flattered and pleased.

Listening to some golden oldies stuff: If You Think You're Lonely Now and A Change's Gonna Come ---Bobby Womack.





_{Sometimes you just want to know what real singing sounds like, before all the voice-enhancing gimmicks we have now.}

-----some people would actually tell you that you don't need to have any prophetic gifts whatsoever to tell that our Commander-in-Chief is hardly a vision of health . I hope he survives tho' I always used to think he looks like a remote-controlled zombie. Sorry, but he does.

somehow I'm beginning to feel bad about the way we, and in fact half of the Nigerian population, have been hating on the show . I mean, Koko Mansion is doing exactly what Nollywood has been doing for---well, for ever: embarrassing us! So let's just sit back, enjoy it, and hope it improves with time!

That said, why did Dbanj make a point of praising the downcast Rita to her face and telling her that the other girls are intimidated by her, that she should keep being herself and being entertaining etc---that's cheating! And he's just going with the crowd because he noticed that 8 out of 10 of viewer's texts are all about the RITA FAN CLUB. I really don't know how she did it (some haters are saying it's juju ) but the girl is so freaking loved by all Nigerians from Ireland to Bangladesh! I still can't figure out why!?

^^^sometimes I wonder if you can read my mind - it's scary!! I totally feel you about the gay-pride jackass who makes too much of a point of looking and sounding gay. He needs a punch in that stomach he insists on sticking out when he walks!

and then, Marcus' obvious jealousy with the posh muscle-bag guy. I mean, the way he kept criticising the poor guy to Noirin, about the way the guy walks---does he realise how he walks himself?! I lmao all through his macho bitching!

I really felt sorry for the Hira chick, to be booed even before u got out of the car! Unlucky. And I hope she's not as dumb as she's been acting----

Finally, poor Karly. I blame Lisa for this. Follow-follow no good o. And I can't stand Karly's rich-as-sick bf. But she spoke of him like he was an action man, so I'm looking forward to him making any kind of impact in dat house.

There's so much going on now, and so little time for me to keep up. But I trust ya, mohawkchick, to keep me on track!

@ whiteroses, it's either u can't read, or don't understand simple slang: i said "boning", not boring. Boning means, frowning or squeezing your face or looking angry. Do you need more examples or do you finally get the point?

At least, NaJa HaJe saw the sense in my post. And to answer you, NaJe, yes I think it might have been too much sun in their face making them look like they're all boning.

Looks more like a funeral than a wedding - everyone seems to be boning! Happy day indeed.
