Big Brother Africa update day 30
Sep 05, 2007
WHOEVER your favourite housemate is, believe you me, they cannot speak English. Or is it that Big Brother thinks so? <br>He is not amused by the housemates’ elocution; in fact, he thinks it is terrible. Not even Bertha, who comes off as Ms Know-it-all, hits the mark.
WHOEVER your favourite housemate is, believe you me, they cannot speak English. Or is it that Big Brother thinks so?
He is not amused by the housemates’ elocution; in fact, he thinks it is terrible. Not even Bertha, who comes off as Ms Know-it-all, hits the mark.
So Big Brother on Tuesday gave the housemates three tongue-twisters to see them improve. As if his disapproval of their speech skills is not bad enough, Big Brother has tasked the 10 housemates to repeat each of the tongue-twisters 50 times daily until he deems it okay to stop.
And the tongue-twisters are not your easy type. They are: “Unique New York New York Uniqueâ€, “Red Lorry Yellow Lorry†and “I’m a Pleasant Pheasant Plucker.â€
Since the housemates are facing a sleep-deprivation week, each has to perform well in a task to win some minutes’ sleep.
Now with the tongue-twisting phrases, the housemates will be judged on their ability to repeat one of the phrases while brushing their teeth.
In line with sleep-deprivation, Big Brother Tuesday night gave them a puzzle to decipher in order to keep awake. But they were so tired and kept yawning throughout the task, considering they had earlier been involved in a more athletic task — rope-skipping. By press time, they were still toiling with the puzzle. Meanwhile, the skipping task had them divided into two teams, the Nocturnals and Supersleepers.
The Nocturnals won, got some sleep. Maureen from the losing side was chosen to tell a bed-time story to send the winners to sleep. She did a good job, thanks to Uganda’s folktale tradition.
Meanwhile, Code has taken to telling Maxwell all about his romance with Maureen. Viewers’ messages have branded him male gossip.
The other interesting bit is that the Big Brother team have chanced on news that Richard’s Canadian wife Ricki, is back and is expecting answers. Ricki had allegedly left for Canada following Richard’s lovey-dovey attachment to Tatiana. Now the team reveals the woman just cannot keep away from Big Brother.
