As this year's Big
Brother Africa (BBA)
television reality show
comes to an end. The
anticipations about who will take home
the princely $300,000 (about N48
million) grand prize on Sunday, 25
August, are as high as never before.
With last week's exit of dreadlocked
South Africa's Angelo Collins, who was
one of the favourites for the grand prize,
and Ethiopia's Bimp, the top 5 for the
final looks like this: the two Nigerians -
Beverly Osu and Melvin Oduah, Ghana's
Elikem, Namibia's Dillish, and Zambia's
Cleo.
The five have survived 88 days in the
House and now need every vote possible
to get their hands on the much sought
after grand cash prize.
On 26 May, 28 housemates from 14
countries entered the Big Brother House
in Johannesburg, South Africa for a 91-
day of fun and entertainment in a
secluded environment. But as the end of
The Chase is just days away, social
media, especially Facebook and Twitter,
have been abuzz with fans getting
creative with their support for their
favourite housemates.
Whoever wins on Sunday would hug
instant fame and fortune, joining the
likes of Nigeria's Kevin Pam Chuwang
(2009), Uti Nwachukwu (2010), Karen
Igho (2011) and South Africa's Keagan
Petersen, who was last year's winner of
the show.
The two Nigerian representatives have
been enjoying massive votes from
Nigerians and other Africans. Melvin
seems to be the favourite, but Beverly is
also attracting attention from fans and
laying a huge claim to the grand prize in
spite of the opprobrium she attracted
from some quarters over her
controversial intimate encounters with
Angelo in the house.
Angelo, who approached five ladies while
in the house, told IK Osakioduwa, the
show host, during the live eviction show
last Sunday that Beverly wanted more
sex after their scandalous romp under
the duvet and in the bathtub.
"I like Beverly because she is a strong
woman and she would go for whatever
she wants. Beverly told me it has been
over one week since we last did it
(referring to the sex in the bath tub) but
I said NO. I promised my mother I
would not do such, so I can't do it
again," Angelo said of Nigeria's video
vixen.
On top of the $300,000 grand prize that
each of the top five Housemates are in
line to win, last night, each of the Chase
housemates were given an opportunity
to win a piece of jewellery worth $1000.
"In the House is a box from down
memory lane and on the middle box is a
picture of each remaining Housemate.
On the picture is a space for a hand. On
the sound of the buzzer, each
Housemate will have to put their right
hand on the picture of their face where
the hand mark is placed. This will be an
endurance Task," read Biggie's Brief to
the Top 5.
Except for Melvin, who claimed to have
jewellery worth $3000, four other
housemates faced off in an Endurance
Task where each of them had to place
their hand on a box with their picture on
it and whoever manages to hold on the
longest and outlast the others would be
crowned the winner and walk away with
the $1000 jewellery prize.
After a long and excruciating battle, that
saw her fight through fatigue, hunger and
cramped hands, Dillish bagged herself a
beautiful prize that consists of a piece of
jewellery of her choice worth $1000.
Meanwhile, Nigeria's DJ Xclusive will
make a return to the Big Brother House
to shut down the final Channel O Party
tomorrow.
The hip WizKid's official DJ and Lagos
urban radio station Cool 96.9 FM's DJ in
a message promised to make it a party
to remember as it will be the
housemates' last party.
