Johannesburg, 07 February 2025: This week in the Big Brother Mzansi Lali house, the housemates embraced a taste of farm life, fully immersed in the simple, unplugged rural experience. Already cut off from the fast-paced outside world, Big Brother dialed things up even further with a back-to-basics weekly theme.
Big props to Jojo for making history as the first female Head of House of Season 5! She snatched the crown from Swiss after a wild snail-race challenge and a nail-biting game of chance that had us all on edge. Now at the helm, Jojo is calling the shots and all we’re saying is, There will be signs!
As expected, Monday’s nominations brought major tension. The “bandana” crew, Ezra, Luzuko, Sipha Lee, and Swiss are all up for eviction this week, alongside Nate, Nsuku, and Uyanda. Flexing her HoH power, Jojo saved Mandy Hagan, but no one was put up in her place. Talk about a strategic play!
Biggy turned up the heat with the freeze challenge, only for the ninjas to come in and clear out their food! Luckily, they were given ingredients to cook from scratch, perfectly aligning with this week’s theme, the Lali life is the ultimate soft life!
One thing that unites the housemates is rehearsing for the wager challenge. They brought their A-game to the presentation, delivering quite a performance last night. Despite their best efforts, they missed the mark on executing Big Brother’s script, and their talents weren’t enough to secure the win. The loss of the wager means that the housemates will only receive basic supplies next week, with no luxuries in sight.
With shifting alliances and losing the wager challenge, this week has been nothing short of unpredictable!
DJ Kaygo who is known for bringing epic Hip Hop beats will be on the decks, bringing the vibes as the housemates unwind and enjoy the party! Kaygo is part of the cast in new reality tv series called Bromance on Mzansi Magic. The show celebrates friendship, love, and brotherhood and you can catch it every Tuesday at 20:00 on channel 161.
