Why I fantasize about being in the BBA house
DESPITE all the fuss about Big Brother, I had never propped my skeleton in front of a TV to watch show for more than two minutes. It had nothing to do with a weary neighbour accusing me of peeping (because I do not own a DStv dish) since the last two seasons found me at university where it was free

DESPITE all the fuss about Big Brother, I had never propped my skeleton in front of a TV to watch show for more than two minutes. It had nothing to do with a weary neighbour accusing me of peeping (because I do not own a DStv dish) since the last two seasons found me at university where it was free.
However, this time Big Brother (whoever he is) must have asked the participating countries to send only cuties and hunks.
The result? I am admiring Latoya and Sheila for long hours as they strut about the house and fantasising about being in that house. And I have many reasons to.
The food
The other day I was at a friend’s and DStv channel 198 was on.
It was lunch time for the housemates, but oh boy, you should have seen me.
I swear I smelt the chicken as it was being served and then munched.
On Tuesday, biggie meted the kind of punishment that I would relish if I were in the house.
He confined Thami to the kitchen to prepare meals. How he would regret if I were Thami.
The girls
The damsels have left viewers across Africa matchmaking on air. Everyone seems to want his or her country’s hunk to have his way with a particular one. If I was in the game, Gaetano’s exploits in the maiden house would have looked pedestrian.
Stress
If there is anything that the BBA house can help one outlive for the 91 days (assuming one survives eviction), it is stress. A friend says nomination and eviction fever is more stressful than competing for Latoya’s heart but I disagree. Why the hell would I be stressed over something I am not paying for? It is Biggie footing all costs, so what about it if I am evicted?
Freebies
At home, Morris pays rent, utility bills, buys food and booze. In the house, Biggie foots all the bills. And yes, he also provided six cuties for free. They do not have to wine and dine the damsels. And the girls are not not too shy to invite them to share beds. Oh, I wish!
Gossip
Gossiping is what the housemates do most of the time. And the viewers love to listen to it. Maybe during my stay Thami would tell me what became of the killers of my music idol Lucky Dube and Munya would tell me if the inflation figures reported about Uncle Bob’s economy are real.
Idleness
I love to idle. In Kampala, SPCs don’t allow it but Biggie does. The house is idleness exemplified as in the mock Olympics presentation. The shower room, pent house and even the Diary room, all smack of idleness.
I would love it!
