Why Ricco should go back home

It is Angola’s Ricco the player, Uti the loud-mouth Nigerian clown and Lucille the Namibian pretty-faced crybaby up for possible eviction. Well, Lucille had survived the Monday night nominations. But TK, who got four votes just like Uti, used his head-of-house powers to replace himself with Lucille.
So who of these will be the second evictee from Biggie’s house this Sunday? Too close to call, huh? I know not who will leave. But I know it will not be Uti. At least viewers would still need to see more of his nagging personae to the housemates, a thing viewers like because it elicits the housemates’ true colours.
Morris, too, still needs Uti around. After the eviction of Latoya, who was Morris’ heartbreaking love interest, the last thing we need is Uti’s departure.
The Nigerian has been good company for Morris and in fact, helped nag the Ugandan out of his shell by insisting on talking to him, a thing that upped the Ugandan housemates’ game. Uti also stood by Morris when he was going through a fake eviction fever and nursing a broken heart from being dumped by Latoya.
So the next viable housemate to boot from the M-Net reality show is Ricco. The incessant neck-twitching cross-dresser has over the last month in the house been one of the strongest contenders for the staked sh170m.
He has been head of house once. But out of the three subsequent head-of-house tasks, he has always finished closest to the winner. An all-round street-smart, Ricco stands many chances of winning head-of-house tasks that would last him long enough to win the jackpot. And as a country that needs the jackpot to come home, we need to purge the competition.
That is why I am urging you to pull out your phone (like now), type Vote Ricco and send the message to 6626 across all networks. That way, you will be getting the Angolan out of Morris’ winning way. And who knows?
Just do not worry about Lucille. She is a pawn, really. Aside from being part of the furniture, no one expects her to walk away the winner. So let us first eliminate the knights, rooks, bishops and queens on our way to seizing the king. The pawns will fall by default. Like James Bond Pierce Brosnan would say, Lucille will “die another day.â€
We have unfinished business with Sheila. The Kenyan has made Morris her template nominee. A friend sent me an SMS on Monday night immediately after Sheila nominated Morris. It went, “I was wrong on Sheila sparing Morris.†And I wondered how he could have seen Sheila barking off.
She has nominated Morris from day one. Isn’t that sheer hatred? Or is it that Morris is such a hunk he gives her a competition for the girls? And to think Morris did not nominate her only kills me. Even when Biggie showed him who had nominated him for the eviction that turned out fake, the Ugandan is not using the advantage. He is instead creating additional enemies by nominating different people every other time.
Well, let us just bank on the fact that the Ugandan is for now one of the strongest contenders while we wait to evict Sheila. But should Morris get onto that list, we are in trouble.
