I am celebrating Morris’ survival. Anyone wants to join me? Welcome aboard. Just pull out your phone, type Sheila and send to 6626 on all networks.

That way, you will be evicting the Kenyan loud-mouthed bisexual who has taken it upon herself to put Morris up for possible eviction since she entered the Big Brother house two weeks ago.

She had her way last week and got the Ugandan housemate on that dreaded list, just that the nominations were fake, the reason no one went home. But she could have cost our boy the sh175m jackpot up for grabs had the nominations been real — who knows?

Now that we have the chance to do her in, shall we, Uganda? Morris nominated her too. So there’s no love lost between the two, considering that should Morris ever get onto that list, Kenya will definitely vote him out. It is our turn to give our housemate a breather by purging his resistance.

And you can evict the Kenyan as many times as you wish. I have sent 12 messages so far — just another patriotic Ugandan, you know!

I also cheered that Beijing loser team with the best of my shrieks, probably the reason Boniface Kiprop did not come last, forget he almost did.

Well, back to the M-Net reality show, Sheila made eviction hopeful in the Monday night nominations along with Botswana’s Tawana and Tanzania’s Latoya.

And seeing as it is, Sheila is most likely to be shown the exit considering she is the most profane, bossy and pompous — a thing that has put her in many housemates’ bad books. In fact, her hurling profane words in every direction is the reason Morris nominated her.

And since the other two nominees are friendly with Morris (in fact they have a thing for him), it is only the Kenyan smoke-spewing ‘chimney’ that threatens Morris in his run up for the jackpot.

It is just as well that Angola’s Ricco, the head of house, though with the powers to replace one of the nominees with another person, did not tamper with the list and left fate to take its course — what a relief that he did not nominate Morris like he did last week!

In fact, in a rather change of tide, Morris was nominated only once by Sheila as opposed to last week’s five times.

Thami, with whom Morris tied to get on the list last week, this time got only two nominations by Tawana and Morris, which was actually a blunder on Morris’ part because having gone through a tormenting week of fake evictions with the South African last week, nominating him was the worst thing to do.

But since Thami is not on the list, he can perhaps get over it if he makes up for the mistake in the coming nominations.

Short of that, South Africans will vote out the Ugandan, should he show up on the list. Ricco and Zambia’s Takondwa are the only ones that did not get a vote, whereas the rest shared the votes equally, Tawana leading with five, followed by Sheila and Latoya with four each.

The nominations weighed down so heavily on Tawana that she broke down, crying like a baby in Morris’ arms, who cuddled her and encouraged her to take heart.

These two have since Friday had a soft spot for each other. In fact, Morris had left Tawana an earring thinking he had been evicted on Sunday. Do we see another romance coming up now that Morris and Latoya are no more?

Meanwhile come Sunday, another twist will be introduced. Two of the nominees will be evicted to Biggie’s rubbish dump for a week and thereafter, one with the most votes, evicted for real the following Sunday while the other one goes back to join the rest of the housemates.
