Johannesburg, anuary 2025: Double the shock, double the drama. Two housemates are out, dropping the total down from 24 to 22. The ones who were on the hot seat were: Abobo, Bonni Bee, Nate, Nsuku, Savage, and Uyanda.
After surviving the previous eviction show, the nominated housemates hoped they were in for another chance to escape Biggie’s wrath and make it through another week. But the minute Smash Afrika started getting into the evictions it quickly became clear that Biggie had other plans. After a quick recap of the week’s major moments, from the Head of House Challenge to the Wager, Smash Afrika dropped the bombshell and the first housemate to exit the Big Brother Mzansi house is Savage.
Savage’s exit from the house was a jaw dropper for him. As the announcement was made, the look on his face spoke volumes of disbelief. Dripping in style, he barely had a chance to say his goodbyes to his fellow housemates before Smash Afrika returned, ready to stir the pot and just like that, another bombshell dropped, and Bonni Bee was also evicted.
As the door closed behind them, the house was left to pick up the pieces from yet another unpredictable twist. Smash Afrika dived straight into the heated questions and when asked if he was disappointed or relieved post big exit, Savage kept it cool and said: “I definitely never saw this one coming. Eventually everyone has to leave. Everyone gets their time but this is the beginning of success”.
Meanwhile, Bonni Bee made it clear she had no regrets. She confidently stated that she is that girl, and unlike others who talk a lot of spice but can’t devour it. Chatting to Smash Afrika she said “I’m definitely not disappointed but also not relieved. I just know the people in the house couldn’t handle my heat I knew this from day one. So, me being here, I don’t feel like I failed myself. Instead, out of the whole of South Africa I made it into the house even for 2 weeks, I was able to shine and I’m still gonna thrive”. Talk about a confident queen.
The journeys of these two housemates may have been brief, but they certainly left their mark, delivering unforgettable drama along the way. It was shock after shock, with Savage bringing unexpected twists to his love life in the house, while Bonni Bee unapologetically served up her unfiltered thoughts at every turn. Let’s not forget the Umlilo – thrown all over the place, keeping everyone on edge.
What’s a live show without some good old week unpacking? Smash Afrika crossed over to the house and had a chat with Mr Head of House Sipha Lee, about how he’s been ruling the house. Sipha didn’t hold back, saying, Biggie’s got him running on empty. He said he hasn’t slept all week and it’s been wild. He said: “Sweet Guluva would have had a heart attack if he was Head of House”. Looks like someone was taking shots at Guluva’s leadership skills.
Uyanda, who was swapped to save Ezra, had plenty to say during his chat with Smash Afrika. He revealed that for him, there’s a lot of strategic play going on behind the scenes. He shared that there is stuff that people might not see, but housemates are playing the game.
Monday is here and all is back to factory settings. Things will be heated. The Head of House battle is back on, followed by a round of nominations that’s sure to shake things up. Let’s see if the remaining housemates can navigate the house with all the drama that’s about to unfold. Best believe things are about to get hot in there.
