LATOYA, upon being the first evictee from the Big Brother house, said on Sunday she will miss all the boys. What with the way she got romantically involved with Morris and Ricco simultaneously!

She said she will not miss the girls, except Tawana, with whom she spent a week in the rubbish dump before getting the boot. Was she surprised being the first evictee?

“I am shocked. I thought Tanzania ran this show, but anyway, sh*t happens,” said the Tanzanian who thought she had an upper hand since her country’s Richard Bezuidenhout last year won the M-Net reality show’s $100,000 jackpot.

She told show host Kabelo that she enjoyed the boys, the chocolates, the daily morning aerobics and dancing to music mixes by Channel O’s DJ Waxxy, who occasionally plays live for the housemates.

On the list of housemates who nominated her, only Munya surprised her. Lucille didn’t. “I knew she would nominate me, she liked Ricco,” said Latoya, who wants to go back to school to study cosmetology to enhance the fame she has always longed for.

She wasn’t into impressing. She hurled profanities allover just like she would with ‘is’ and ‘was’. The Tanzanian said she hated Kenya’s Sheila for being pretentious. “On her first day in the house, she asked whether I would have sex as if it was the main issue,” said Latoya.

“She came off as though she was going to f*ck every guy in the house.” Kabelo was visibly shocked at Latoya’s use of the F-word with such ease.

But the Tanzanian went on: “Then it turned out she (Sheila) couldn’t even remove her knickers when showering. What a pretentious chic! Sorry, Kenya but there it is.”

Latoya looked undaunted, answering every question matter-of-factly.

On Saturday, she had constantly addressed Africa from the dump, asking viewers to vote her back into the house. But Biggie played music from Tanzania and I knew it was a sort of farewell to her.

It was playing only in the dump, which Biggie had on the previous day turned into a luxury suite – another farewell sign so the evictee could go home with fond memories of a suite, and not a rubbish dump.

Though she danced to the music, she would stop at some point and get deeply in thought, probably wishing she had used a different strategy. It had dawned onto her that she would leave. Even when named the first evictee, she looked as though she had prepared for it. Ugandan fans who turned up for Multichoice’s eviction party at Steak Out jubilated about her exit as she hugged Tawana goodbye from the glass house where she had waited for the bad news from.

Meanwhile, Biggie asked Tawana to go back to the house, and that she had been saved. “Guess who’s back,” Tawana said as she walked into the quietude of housemates waiting to hear who would leave.

Her return made it clear none of them had been an eviction nominee like they had been fooled. It was a relief for Uti, who knew he would leave. And as other housemates hugged the Bots happy to see her back, TK wasn’t amused at all. He probably knew she was back to hit on him.
