BBA 8: Another relationship bit the dust

Lagos – Another Big Brother: The Chase
relationship bit the dust during Sunday’s live
eviction show as Botswana’s Oneal was
separated from love interest Feza – for now.
Out on stage, Oneal discussed his catch phrase
‘at this particular juncture’, saying it’s
something he’d been saying before he went
into the house, and that people tend to pick up
on phrases of his, even on Twitter. He told IK
it had been hard to be separated from his son,
who he is used to taking to school every day.
IK then asked the burning question: “Are you
in love with Feza?” “Ya, I love Feza,” admitted
the Motswana. He told IK that they’d be seeing
each other as soon as the Tanzanian left the
house and that both had tentative plans to
move to South Africa.
He also rubbished housemates’ claims that
they had entered The Chase for the experience,
saying they were all in the game for the
USD300 000 prize. As for his ‘side goals’,
Oneal had hoped to pick up a bigger audience
to help support his career as a club DJ and
radio & TV presenter – something he felt he’d
achieved.
Last week’s evicted housemates, Annabel and
Sulu got to have their say about their time in
The Chase. Annabel told viewers she’d been
enjoying every moment outside the house and
was looking forward to ‘landing new things’. “I
entered Big Brother not just for the money,
but also because I knew it was my time to
shine and time to prove to people ‘this is who I
am’, she said. “I kept it real and I loved it and
I’m not going to regret the experience one bit,”
was her parting shot.
Sulu said that he was aware that being in the
Big Brother house was the opportunity of a
lifetime. He wasn’t happy at being put up for
eviction as part of a ‘save & replace’ decision,
but had to deal with it. “ I think I was born for
this and I will take this as my opportunity,” he
told viewers. When he arrived home in Zambia
last week, Sulu was met by hundreds of fans at
the airport – so, as IK quipped, he may not
have found love in the house, but maybe
things will happen for him now that he’s home.
Boity Thulo joined IK on stage to tell viewers
more about how to interact with the show via
Twitter, with the official @bigbroafrica account
now boasting more than 450 000 followers,
constantly commenting on everything that
happens in the house. She told viewers that
they could see their message displayed on-
screen and add to the conversation by tweeting
using #BigBroAfrica or #BBATheChase. Fans
can also follow evicted housemates to interact
with them and find out more about their time
in the game.
Rising South African Motswako star Cassper
Nyovest performed twice – getting things going
with ‘Wahala’ and later to help close out an
exciting show with ‘Gusheshe’.
