Malawi’s Code betrays Maureen

CALL up betrayal and Malawi’s Code will respond like the word were his middle name. How could he nominate Maureen for eviction?He should have known better than to spite Ugandans after our girl gave him the opportunity to keep touching her trophy body. And to think Maureen compromised her pride, to show him some love, kills me.

I am taking it personal and declaring an open war against Code. Should his name come up for possible eviction, just help me send him to the dogs by typing Vote Code, and sending to 15626 (MTN), 5626 (UTL), 0903015626 (Celtel).

You can also vote online for the person you want evicted by visiting www.mnetafrica.com. Maureen only got one vote during the Monday night nominations, which gives us a good run for the sh175m prize.

Zimbabwe’s Bertha and Justice (Botswana) amassed the highest number of votes, which puts them up for possible eviction. But Namibia’s Meryl overturned the housemates’ decision when she saved Bertha and replaced him with Jeff, the Kenyan.

Now the poor novelist does not know he is up for eviction come Sunday, because Meryl is not allowed to discuss the verdict with the housemates until Big Brother brings it up on the eviction day.

The reason Meryl gave was that Jeff had not been a good team player, but she would not miss him if he left because he was boring. It is interesting that Meryl nominated Bertha, but turned around and saved her. She said saving her was her idea of correcting her earlier mistake. No wonder her reason of nominating Bertha was cagey — that she is not appealing and lacks the spark for a game like Big Brother.

The nominations were full of surprises. Everybody should have expected Meryl to nominate Justice after their previous brawl. But she did not. And while we thought Bertha’s aptness was a plus, the housemates did not think. Take Angola’s Tatiana, who nominated her because: “she is so solid and always knows what to do.” Then you had her nominate South Africa’s Lerato for talking a lot and “she’s too much for me.” Tanzania’s Richard nominated Jeff because “he has weird eating habits.” He also nominated Justice because according to him, Justice cannot handle the race.

Maureen’s reasons were more realistic. She nominated Meryl because she is making Justice uncomfortable, and Bertha, because she is bossy. But Code fronted a lame reason for nominating Maureen. “I think Maureen is playing mind games.” Code, Maxwell and Tatiana were not nominated. I think we should be for East Africa. Justice should go.
