It’s down to Top 10 #BBMzansi
Johannesburg, 03 March 2025: Last night’s live eviction show took a dramatic turn with Big Brother scrapping the usual diary room nominations last Monday, throwing all housemates except Head of House Mshini into the danger zone. The heat was on as Umlilo season intensified, leading to the eviction of Mandy Hagan, Melino, Philile, and Tyrone. With only 10 housemates left, the competition is fiercer than ever, and from here on out, it’s a battle for survival to win the grand prize.
The show started with Robot Boii, Soweto’s Finest, and Tom London’s ‘Amawele’ performance that set the stage ablaze, giving a taste of the wild, unpredictable night that was about to unfold.
The first housemate to be evicted for the night, Mandy Hagan, described Biggie’s house as restful, fun and also incredibly stressful. She shared that leaving her six-month-old baby behind was totally worth it, adding, “From here on, we are going up.”
Philile, who was buzzing with excitement to meet Smash Afrika for the first time, shared that her plan is to head back to Durban to see her family since she misses them. However, she also mentioned that she plans to come back to the City of Gold with hopes to find an agency in efforts to pursue modelling.
Tyrone revealed that his strategy in the house was to fly under the radar until the very end, but Biggie’s decision to nominate the entire house completely shattered that plan.
Melino, full of energy, was faced with two choices for the R250 000 envelope in his possession: either tear it up or return it back to the prize pot. In the end, he chose to put the red envelope back into the prize.
With 4 housemates evicted, the house was left shaken to its core.
The season started off with 24 housemates all competing for the big prize and now only 10 remain in the house, with their fate resting in the hands of Mzansi. After the live show wrapped up, the housemates gathered for a massive hug, with Nsuku congratulating everyone for making it this far. The time for comfort is over, and now, everything is on the line. Wavuth’ uMlilo!
