Free at last, free at last. Thank God Almighty; we are free at last. The yoke of Big Brother will drop. No more shall we miss class and meals for want of entertainment from the part of Africa southern. No more brothers’ big, no more squirrels Angolan. No more Nigerian Women of virtues questionable… wait a sec. I might have gotten carried away back there.
Nollywood ain’t going no where.
So it’s down to the final three… Africa is finally united with a sense of purpose. A common goal. And on top of the 950/= I lost for every message I received on Monday, my thumb prints have been worn out trying to make sure the right person wins the $100 grand.
Who’s winning? Your guess is as good as mine. One thing’s for certain, it will affect the way we live in one way or another. Allow me to elaborate. If Richard wins, I will have a new found respect for people that possess dreadlocks with paint coated tips. If Tatiana wins, I will have a new found respect for the nation of Angola…and rodents. If Ofunneka bags the cash… haha, I crack me up, what are the odds of THAT happening?
Code and Bertha (sigh) seem to regard her (mama Awfu) highly. They say she maintained her standards. That she played the game the best. Are you kidding me? This chic is more two faced than a five hundred shilling coin… and that thing IS two faced!! Did these people watch the infamous FINGERGATE debacle? Did they not see what went down…er, up?
But hey, don’t let that influence your decision. Far be it for me to judge someone on the basis of their wanton desires… And yet, there’s the fact that she could land a gig in Nollywood. Is that really the sort of person you want to take the money?
Tatiana’s sister has leukemia and that money could go a long way in making said sister’s life more comfortable, but according to a sadistic viewer that spoke on the condition of anonymity. That shouldn’t count. He goes on to say that it doesn’t seem fair… He stops at that point, so I guess, Tatiana has my vote at this point.
Richard… well, dude’s got the dreadlocks and the girl…and a Canadian wife. There’s no way I’m letting this guy win. It just doesn’t feel right. Now Maureen on the other hand… what’s up?
Richard’s wife says she has not appeared on any gossip site so I suppose that thing I said last week about her being done with Richard because he betrayed her is null and void. There is, however, the remote possibility that she agrees with me, nothing says “I Love you!” like a hundred thousand dollars. There’s also some speculation that she came out and denied all this stuff as some damage control orchestrated to help Dutty Dreads win…
Elsewhere (specifically the Big Brother forum), there’s talk that Bertha (sigh) and Meryl may be feuding over the sitting arrangement at the final show. Each wants to sit with Akon for their own motives. I’m sorry. I meant Kwaku. Meryl wants (allegedly) to sit with him to show Africa that she got him in the end, whilst Bertha wants to sit with him… because she is Bertha dammit! The lady’s name doesn’t even need a spell check in Microsoft Word, why should she need an excuse to sit down next to anyone?
For some reason, Biggie deemed it fit to give the housemates another task this week. Doesn’t make sense, really. It’s like giving an assignment to S.6’s as they head into their vacation. Or something. But seeing as it was for a noble cause, hey, who am I to judge?
The final three hosted children from Nkosi’s Haven, an organization in South Africa that cares for HIV infected mothers and their children. The task involved painting a banner and decorating the house. Thankfully, Tatiana desisted from any untoward behaviour with the balloons. Poor girl needs some other way of venting. She should get a pet. A rabbit would suit her.
Speaking of…
The moles left the house this week after announcing that they were fakes. Heh. Kinda like a spoon going around saying, “contrary to what you lot thought, I am in fact… a spoon.” Ofunekka let them know as much. The Housemates in their diary room sessions said they would miss them.
With the moles out of the way, it was back to business as usual and we can summarise the Richiana storyline thus. They fought. They made up. It’s monotonous and I think we will all be the better for it when they leave our screens and go fight elsewhere. That stuff was as monotonous as a latin American soap. Actually, given Tatiana’s presence, it WAS a latin American Soap. Now if that had been Honourable Nsaba Buturo’s argument against the show, I’d concur.
It has been a long couple of weeks and lord knows I could do with that holiday that Biggie went on… who do I have to drop twelve tonne hints on to get something out of this experience?
As far as reality TV goes, its been real.
