Uti is a spastic first of all. Everyone noticed that Uti was mimicking Kaone, even Code who most of the time walks around completely oblivious in a (I assume) codeine-induced stupor. This led to a showdown which as usual, Uti could have handled better, but given it IS Uti, he sha tried.

Basically, Kaone had been feeling bothered by Uti's noticeably strange behaviour and so asked Yakob and Lerato for advice. Yakob advised Kaone to go have a clear-the-air talk with Uti, saying that Uti is a cool guy and a free spirit and very light-hearted, like after clearing the air with their talk they're really tight now. Lerato disagrees saying that Kaone should just leave matters be and that when the time is right to talk to Uti, he'll know it. Kaone chose to take Yakob's advice and approached Uti and was like why are you following me and mimicking me, I don't like it. Uti told Kaone he's paranoid and should ask for a shrink. And he wouldn't let Kaone land because he didn't know how to deal with the fact that he's failed his secret task. Instead of him to just let it go, throughout the conversation, he kept bringing up Kaone's "paranoia." He should have just let it get swept under the carpet especially when Kaone was willing to let it go after Uti jokingly blamed Lerato and other housemates (who's asked him what he was doing all evening) for feeding Kaone's "paranoia".

Anyway, to bigger things. Uti and Kaone had a 2nd showdown from around 00:30. Here's how it went down:

Kaone says that Uti has been harsh to him and cruel in his teasing (regarding monokini and headband). Uti says he's heard from multiple sources the smack that Kaone has been talking about him to his "little clique." Uti gets Kaone to inform him on the proper names for his traditional dress. Things can end at this point, but then Uti brings up Kaone's "paranoia" and "schizophrenia" and tells him to ask BB for a shrink. Kaone becomes a little offended and tells Uti that his joke is expensive and that the point of the whole conversation is to let Uti know that he doesn't appreciate Uti's jokes. Uti replies that he doesn't appreciate Kaone implying/saying that he's a bad example of a Nigerian (with the "Thank God I've met other Nigerians before Uti, they're not all like that comment". Kaone was not really apologetic about the comment and so Uti tells him that the battle lines are drawn and the cold war has begun. Kaone disagrees and says that the point of the conversation was to clear the air. Uti tells Kaone that he has no right to say what he said earlier in the afternoon and has been saying since.

Kaone then has the audacity to instruct Uti about the Nigerian dynamic. He asks Uti if he realizes that he's from a very small minority tribe in Nigeria and that when he's making comments and acting the way he does, he should make it clear that he's only representing his small part of Nigeria not the whole of Nigeria. (I almost died when he said this. I was like   All I could think was kai goodness, let Uti stay calm). Uti just looked at him and then read a passage out of the bible to try to change the subject, then Kaone picked on that, and was like it's funny how Uti will be very mean and pull people down and then hide it/ screen it behind the bible or use God to cover it up (hmmm this one stinks of Paloma, she even said the same thing in her diary session. A bit of a poisonous snake is Paloma, no?). Uti got offended and again brought up the paranoia business. Uti tells Kaone that he's on to his game to be always talking about Nigeria, Nigeria-this, Nigeria-that, that he knows what he's trying to achieve. That if Kevin hadn't won BB, would he ever have been interested in coming to Nigeria. That if he dislikes Nigeria's representative so much, then maybe he shouldn't come back. KAone then says that anyway, he's glad that Uti is not the first Nigerian he met, otherwise that would have been detrimental ( rural swagg has definitely been smoking some rural ish!!!). Uti tells Kaone that he is mad and his way of reasoning is crazy/stupid. By this time Uti is over the conversation, and tells Kaone to stop talking to him since he doesn't like Uti's kind of Nigerian. Kaone is still blah-blah-blah-ing about how glad he is they had the convo to clear the air etc etc, and Uti gets up and walks outside to read his bible. Once he gets outside and closes the door, he laughs.


Uti's drama is totally stressing me out. LIke on the one hand, where does Kaone get off, but on the other hand, Uti is playing a game that will get him evicted really quickly, he is not a good liar or pretender, which in real life is good, but for the purposes of the game is not ideal. He dealt with kaone's insults well, though, only he didn't have to let things escalate to the point where insults came into it. Ah well. . . We shall see the implications soon enough.

^^^^
Thanks sooo much!!! That's exactly what I wanted to know.

It's strange. Jen is slowly growing on me. I kind of like her; she's playing her game in a smart way. This is the time to be quiet with occasional bursts of interesting-ness. Even Meryl, I like her; once you accept that she's not one to close her legs, she seems nice enough. I think these are probably the two that I am the least bothered by. I'd add Sheila, but sometimes she doesn't know when to shut up and listen; and Lerato, she seems alright but I don't trust something about her. Uti to me, needs a scoop of maturity because he's not playing his game properly at all.

Wait, does anyone know what Uti and Kaone's fight was about? And what was said by whom? And what brought Paloma into the matter?

The Young Victoria

It was a really good movie, I don't know why I didn't watch it since!!!

Uti was tipsy to drunk and you can totally see how he would be a loud and obnoxious drunk. . . He kept telling everyone SHATTUP. . . Anyway, he seems like he was having a good time and everyone gave him a good day. He's crashed now. . . before dinner, and is just lying down and sleeping in the couch outside . Hopefully he'll get up when it's time to eat.

Ok, he's gotten up for a task now, albeit reluctantly.

Jen: Munya and Sheila

Munya leads with 4 closely followed by sheila on 3

Wait, why did Jen vote Sheila? I thought she, Sheila and Lerato were like new BFFs.

naijagal:
wat if tati swaps herself with uti   then its a munya and uti showdown!

I don't think she'll put in Uti. She seems to be cool with him now, plus she seems to dislike Lerato more. Probably she'll put in Lerato.


Munya is such a major drama queen. His diary session is like he's on drugs or he's having a nervous breakdown. He's not really making sense. He says things and then contradicts himself in the next sentence. Big Brother asked Munya if he still wants to be in the house, after thinking for like a year (ok maybe 45 seconds), he says yes. And then all of a sudden, he's re-found his respect for Africa and our votes.

Basically, as to the reason for last night's breakdown, it's because he didn't like the person he was becoming, and he's been trying to change and the house was changing him back to his old ways. . . or something. <rolls eyes>

Yakob is trying to alienate his people or something. If he's not doing Mr. America, he's talking down his country. Earlier this evening, he was telling Lerato how Ethiopian women, although they're very fine, don't have anything to say for themselves, don't know how to express themselves, are too downtrodden, try to hard to cater for their man, aren't strong and opinionated etc etc. And that that's why he's attracted to Lerato, because she's a strong, opinionated woman unlike women from his country.

Everyone else is talking up their country or at least, trying not to yab them. Yakob is not. Does he think that it's Ethiopian MEN that will sit and be watching big brother to vote for him. Doesn't he know he should try to soften the way he says things: e.g. he could just have said "I like strong, opinionated women" without saying the women in his country are basically doormats.

Some product reviews of some stuff I find amazing:

Clinique 3-Step (No.2) 5/5
I know I'm jumping on to this bandwagon late, but this stuff is wonderful. I'm usually a Neutrogena or Body Shop girl for face care (I have used Clarins face stuff too, when it was gifted to me, and it was ok, but I returned to Neutrogena), and whilst my skin is not bad by any definition, it's not perfect either. I've seen people using Clinique 3-step for a while and I just always thought it was overhyped and overpriced. However, I was in an airport and I saw a special offer on the 3-step and decided on a whim to get it and try it. Let me just say I've found my HG. This stuff is amazing. I have dry-combination skin which means it's really hard to find products that are just right. . . The products for oily skin are over dry my dry areas and give me visible dry scaly patches and the products for dry skin turn my T-Zone into an oil slick. Like honestly, within days, my skin was completely on point. I've never had such smooth skin on my face. . . ever! It also does nice things like reduces the appearance of pores and prevents blemishes. So all in all, it's pretty perfect. I'll reb


Clarins Moisture-Rich Body Lotion with Shea Butter (4.5/5- it loses 0.5 because it smells good, but a little too strong for my tastes
Again, I've used and like Vaseline Cocoa Butter for years, and I still do. But I recently re-bought (a few bottles of) this (on sale), and honestly as much as I like the Vaseline CB, this is farrrr superior. It smooths your skin and makes it soooooo soft that you surprise yourself when you rub your hand along your skin sometimes. It's also really good at softening traditionally rougher areas like elbows, knees, and heels. It's really been helping me maintain my pedicure somehow. . . the soles of my feet are sooooo soft. Unfortunately, it's a bit too rich for my pocket, and as much as I love this and would love to use this forever, I don't know if it's a habit I can sustain in Nigeria right now. But if I could, I definiely would because it's worth it!!!


YSL Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils
I love this Mascara. I used to use Neutrogena (Healthy Volume) and I really liked that. It is the first mascara I've used that doesn't leave clumps and actually separates and lengthens and thickens without smudging at all. It actually makes a visible difference. Most days I just use this with a bit of pencil eyeliner and that's it, and it looks pretty good. However, cost-wise, I don't know how feasible it is for me to keep using this as it's kind of pricy. But it's the absolute best mascara I've ever used!


Revlon ColorBurst in Crimson (5/5)(
I'm a red lipstick kind of girl, I admit. I don't wear a lot of make up (usually just eyeliner, mascara, powder and lipstick) so I like a red lipstick because it gives a bit of a boost and also the pop of color makes it look a little like I made an effort. However, it's really hard to find the perfect red lipstick in the right shade. I used to use Almay but haven't been able to find it in a while. And believe me I have like maybe 6-7 tubes of red lipsticks that I've bought and used only once because they weren't right. I recently saw Jessica Alba wearing the Revlon ColorBurst in Crimson in an ad, and I thought it was perfect (even though she's shades lighter than me). I managed to get a hold of a tube and it's absolutely perfect. It's the exact right shade of red (not too orange, not too purple) and I can see how it would fit a variety of skin tones. You can put on a light layer so it comes out kind of like a well-tinted lip balm (the way I use it) or you can build it up to a dramatic red for a striking night look. It also glides on really easily and doesn't make the lips look or feel dry or sticky and is pretty moisturizing. It does fade a bit as the hours go by, but it's pretty long-lasting and it gives a tint all-day (well from morning till when I wash my face at night). It's better than the almay, not expensive and really good.

jovi:
@ Mad-Max, saloon recommendations please!!, I'm at Lagos and also have stopped relaxing, I have not gone completely natural [/b]but slowly and surely, so please, names of products you use on hair, and where you buy them from in Lagos and [b]Saloons!!!1, that can handle our hair!! thanks a milion, ( maybe we could even arrange a meet up in the near future),

I'm relaxed but my mom is natural. She's mostly in braids all the time now, but when she wore her hair out, she used to go to this salon in V/I called Lolami (sp?) whose owner specialized in dealing with natural hair. They're located at LSDPC flats on Adeola Odeku (shop E5, she thinks), my mom hasn't gone in a while but she thinks they still exist.

Tatiana, after breaking Munya down completely, and then having the strength of mind to go "play" with the other housemates audibly (from Munya's perspective), comes out and tries to drape herself over hug Munya from the back, and is asking him what's wrong, trying to comfort him. He refuses to answer her so she's like "do you want me to go away." He nods, and she leaves.

Before she's out of earshot however, i.e. she's still outside, she playfully shouts Uti's name. Tati has real bipolar disorder. One second she's crying over Hannington leaving, the next she's dancing that she's the HOH again. Now one second, she's comforting Munya and acting like she cares and is concerned about him, the next she's singing "how low can you go?" She's a fun girl. . . but I'm beginning not to know what to make of her.

After Tatiana told Munya the story of his life, he went to the garden when everyone was hanging out in the kitchen and started crying/ hyperventilating/ having an anxiety attack. Reality or Fiction?! He's making it look pretty real, and I'm feeling a bit bad for him.

Basically, Tatiana told him that she thinks he's a bit 2-faced (from his season where he talked smack about his best friends in the house, Rico and Sheila. She also thinks he's playing a game, not a good friend, not trustworthy, too judgmental, and not trying to fit in/ get along with people in the house. It started off as a friendly conversation then kind of escalated. He tried to turn things on her and basically said that if she's as real and caring as she says, then she wouldn't have switched Hannington in for herself. That she too is playing a game. But our Tati is too clever for that, she re-iterated everything she said and basically gave proof for why she was saying so.

Anyway, end result, Munya is lying in the grass in the garden, crying like his heart is broken, alone. And meanwhile the housemates (including Sheila) are playing and singing audibly from inside the house, oblivious to his breakdown. .

Eya!

In other news, what on earth is Kaone cooking this late at night?!?! Does he ever stop?!?!

Animal print. I loathe it, be it leopard, zebra, tiger- whatever. No no no!!! And fur/ faux fur. Even if it's just a little embellishment or accent, I would never spend my money on that.

naijagal:
d show gets even crazier, tati is d new hoh again cos she was d next highest after hanni
galfriend is over d moon and screaming her head off for joy in d house, i can understand her joy and relief but wat is munya so joyful about? dat boy is beginning to work on my nerve

After her crocodile tears and pretending to feel bad that she nominated Hannington just now. . . Ha! Tatiana!!! Stop showing your hand like this. Did you feel bad or not! Fakety Fake! It wasn't by force to like him!

Munya is happy because he and Tatiana are tight, so he feels safe.

He also confessed to Sheila that she was beautiful, sexy etc etc and how her dance moves made him go crazy

I'm thinking maybe this years edition should be called " Big Brother: The Sheila Saga " 

Wait "he" who? Sammy? Ehnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!

emmadinoyi:
I like the chemistry btw Sheila and Uti its so natural and genuine, their frendship is so real, and it reminds me of my close pal in school. I wish they could hook up for real, they'll make a great couple with lovely tall dark n hansome/pretty kids, paloma thinks their in love but are just plain pretending so Uti and sheila have decided to continue acting for Paloma like they have the hots for eachother, thats why last night they dreassed alike for da party. I have a very strong feeling Paloma likes UTI cos she seems to me more or else jelous of Sheiluti. Tatiana also tries to use Uti to make Munya jelous but of course naija bouy is smarter than that. The show is picking up gradually and i'm sure in the next couple of wks if Uti stays _{and does not misbehave}, the show will reach its Climax, i'm beginning to have fun.

Paloma (on Thursday whilst gossiping with Tatiana) was like she thinks "Sheiluti's" chemistry is real because they're friends even outside the house. She also said that she thinks Hannington and Sheila and Meryl and Mwisho (well she could have meant Meryl& Munya but I doubt she'd talk smack about Munya to Tatiana who she meant because she said M&M so really. . .) are just for tv, like they're just trying to be interesting.


Can't wait for the eviction show. I suspect that maybe 2 people or even all 3 sef will be evicted but will probably be sent over to the other "rustic" big brother house. . . or something . . . we'll sha see!

I'm still proud of you, Falconets! Well done, ladies!!!

Dis Guy:
You disagree that the Germans are better than the Nigerians?  ?   ?  ?   ?  ?

Well obviously on the day, they won the match. But we also had lots of opportunities to score and we could have wrapped this match up easily in the 1st half. I wouldn't say they were better in the sense that "oh we were sooooo outplayed and out of our league." The match was winnable.

2-0!

The commentator even  had to say how slow we were moving. Like no urgency! This is what comes from sitting at the back for so long. Mistakes happen because no one can sustain pressure for that long. Even sef if we were like Inter (vs. Barcelona), we've sat at the back too long.

At least we were not shamed. We also came to the party. We can still be proud and hold our heads high.

Dis Guy:
The German are simply Better

I disagree. We've put on a good show and could have equalized loads of time. Ok it's 2-0 now. But over the 2 halves, this has not really been a 2-0 match.
