Have you recovered from the eviction blues?
Come on, Nigel, there’s nothing to recover from. I am just as cool as you saw me on TV last night. In fact, by the time it came, I had accepted it. I got a premonition that I would be evicted.
Big Brother played music from Tanzania a day prior to your eviction. Did you feel like it was a sign you would leave?
Not exactly. I was just having fun dancing to home vibes.
How does it feel being the first evictee?
I have come to terms with everything, really. It’s a game and there had to be a first evictee. I probably didn’t play the game well.
What would you do differently if you had a chance to go back?
Nothing. I would take every step just the same way.
Does that involve romancing Morris and Ricco simultaneously?
Oh my God, you watched all that? I didn’t see any romance going on in that house – just two cute boys giving me attention, which I enjoyed. And I would definitely enjoy it.
What do you feel for Morris?
He’s cute and good to look at. I like him.
Why then did you dump him?
I didn’t dump him. He distanced himself from me. I tried to win him back but he was playing hard to get. So I moved on. But communication between him and I remained.
Between Morris and Ricco, who’s more romantic?
Man, I don’t know. I wasn’t paying attention to that. I was just having fun.
Do you ever think about what a naughty girl you are?
I am not naughty. I am just a girl who loves to have fun.
Ugandans want to see you. They have christened you “our in-law.â€
Wow, how sweet! I will definitely come to Uganda. In fact, I am considering studying in Kampala if I make up my mind on what I want to study. I am told there are good schools there. And most of the Kampala kids I have met are smart, Morris included. And speaking of Morris, he’s a good photographer. I want him to take pictures of me.
How would you like to pose for the photo-shoot at his house?
Hahaha…you are crazy just like him. I don’t know what to say.
Lucille walked in on you and Ricco in what appeared like you were having sex. Do you want to confirm that?
Oh, my God! We didn’t have sex. We were just cuddling.
But Ricco told Mimi that something went on in that bed.
I swear nothing happened.
Sheila once said if she were to get romantic with anyone in the house it would either be you, or TK. Would you have given in?
Of course not, I like boys. But even then, I never believed that she was bisexual much as it was the buzz around the house.
Do you have a boyfriend?
No I don’t. And I am not in a hurry to get one.
Describe your ideal guy.
Handsome and mature.
Using the guys in the Big Brother house as a yardstick. Who do we go for?
Man, more than what’s happening in that house is acting. So you can’t know if the guys are real.
Who do you think will take home the $100,000?
I think Ricco has the potential. He’s a nice guy, plays his game well and everyone likes him.
And who do you think is getting evicted next?
I have no idea. It’s hard to tell.
