Kwaku is no more. His tenure as a BBA Housemate has ceased to be. It’s expired and he has gone to meet his countrymen. He is a former Housemate. Bereft of South African accommodation. His entertainment value is now of interest only to historians! He is an ex-housemate!
Maureen revealed this week that she sees herself walking away with the money. Not a wise move if you ask me. She said the money would boost her confidence and would enable her to solicit funds from people for her pet project. Then she said she would still be herself if she won. Am I missing something?
Would someone be kind enough to explain to me how exactly one can solicit funds for one’s “pet projects” if potential backers are aware that one has money already.
Richard feels that there are trust issues in the house given that Code had replaced himself with Tatiana during last week’s nominations. Personally, I think there are self-preservation issues here, but I could be wrong. That house warps perception.
Not withstanding, it still receives its fair share of visitors. This week saw two UN representatives go in and educate the housemates on the millennium goals. They happen to be on the web so I won’t list them here. The housemates retaliated by performing their poverty song thereby putting and end to the visit. Did anyone else’s ears bleed? No? Okay, moving on…
The housemates were also asked to design posters to encourage viewers to support the UN’s campaign to en poverty. Given the housemates failure to come up with any masterpieces, it would have probably been more effective to have them write in bold letters, “SUPPORT THE UN OR WE SHALL SING!”.
A storm is brewing between Maureen and Offuneka, and it has nothing to do with the fact that Nigeria has some crappy movies. Offuneka thinks Maureen is so full of it, that she is a drama queen and that contrary to what she had thought at the beginning, Maureen may not be a figment of her imagination. She says she is now aware of Maureen’s plan (for global domination?) and that her skin crawl’s whenever Mau walks past her. Has she tried a lotion for that? Or Samona?
Offu has taken her campaign to Tatiana and told her that Maureen was feeling neglected. That she said Tati spends more time with Richard than with her. That’s probably true Mau, but Tatiana’s access to the “gazunga” is coming to an end so she probably feels the need to use it while the warranty is still on.
Tatiana opines that Maureen is probably trying to pull a fast one. That her strategy may be to smear Richard so that the public saves Code. That’s brilliant! Maureen is my new Bertha! The best bit is, this version comes with non-removable strands of hair!
Yvonne Chaka Chaka asked the housemates to make an “anti-poverty” fire in the garden…I figured she’d hoped to use the BBA house as the set for the music video for “I’m Burning Up” The Remix…but I was wrong. The housemates had to stand guard for the 24 hours the fire was lit. Biggie said they were to sing and dance and tell stories around the fire. Screams “Pagan Ritual” from where I’m sitting by the way. If every simple fire would take poverty away, we’d light them all!
Code and Maureen had another of their ritual arguments, this one brought on by the fact that Maureen discussed sex with Richard whilst Code was there. What really happened was, Richard asked Maureen whether she liked sex and whether she was in control of herself as far as restraining herself from the urge to have sex in the House went. I kind of sympathise with Code. I too found the word sex dirty and inappropriate to use in conversations until… come to think of it, until this article. Maureen in her defense said that the only reason she had this conversation with Richard was so he would know better than to try intimidating her.
HAHA!!
Maureen may be on to something.
Battling Bullies 101:
Them: Give me your money!
You: Let’s talk about sex instead!
Them: I’m gonna beat you up
You: Okay, but let’s discuss sex
Them: Easy there, I don’t want any trouble.
And that’s how you put bullies in their place.
Prediction:
A Man Shall leave, A Man Shall remain, Three women shall stay. Doesn’t say much, but you have got to love the poetic feel to it…and it may be a little ore accurate than some of the predictions that were going around last election period.
