Zim duo survives first month in BBA

Standard People
BY MELISSA MPOFU Zimbabwean representatives in the Big Brother Amplified (BBA) house, Vimbai Mutinhiri and Wendall Parson have survived the first month in the house.

Now in its fourth week, the BBA reality show will run for the next two months before a winner is announced. Three housemates have already been sent packing by Big Brother, a move which has seen the housemates upping their game in attempts to impress viewers of the show to keep them in the house.Tonight, Bernadina (Namibia), Confidence (Ghana), Michael (Mozambique), Sharon (Uganda) and Vina (Nigeria) are up for eviction and one of them will walk out of the Big Brother house. Both of Zimbabwe’s representatives, Vimbai and Wendall, are safe tonight.

While others do not like being nominated, Confidence seems to enjoy it as she could not help bragging about her nominations experience and how great it was to see the BBA crowds during the Sunday live eviction shows.

Michael feels Confidence is a strong character.

“Voting Confidence does not help because you are just making it difficult for others that have been nominated with her,” said Michael.

Michael, who does not know he is up for eviction, expressed his concern about Vimbai’s decision as head of house. He spoke as if he knew he was up for eviction saying he did not trust Vimbai’s decision. Vimbai, who was head of house, decided to put him on the chopping block and save Hanni, who is closer to her.

If Big Brother sticks to his usual strategy, Vimbai and Wendall will be guaranteed of another week in the Heads house. Usually, one house between the Heads and tails nominates per week. In such a case, it would mean the Tails house would be nominating this week and the Heads housemates would not face eviction.

Meanwhile, evicted Nkuli says she believes Wendall has no opinion on the politics in his country.

“I just believe everyone should have an opinion on the politics in their country, and Wendall didn’t,” said Nkuli after she was asked about her relationship with Wendall.

Namibia’s Jossy said he felt Vimbai was politically correct saying she had positive answers to almost all the questions that were posed to her about Zimbabwe.
