Gaetano's look alike's (pictured) a.k.a Bina Baby's Angels were perhaps the only dark spot on a rather bright press conference held at Sheraton Hotel. Gaffe number one: they seemed to disagree on who really resembled the real Gae, and this showed when each muscled to give an interview to the Big Brother crew from South Africa.
As if that was not bad enough, only two got talk time with the BBA crew and this created a rift. Even as the press conference went on, the group oblivious of what was going on spent a better part murmuring through out the show as they debated on how each was distant from the real Gae. Gaffe number two: After the conference ended, all five formed a circle around one of the three waitresses on duty, ate samosas to their fill and then let her serve the crumbs to the rest of the journalists, many of whom were left in a foul mood.

Marcus Kiryowa, the former Big Brother Africa field presenter for Uganda got a shock of his life that evening at the hotel when security men barred him from entering Gaetano's room. His explanations that he is Marcus, fell on deaf ears. “This room was not booked for you. Get clearance from Multichoice,†they shouted at him. Poor Marcus!

Still at the press conference, Simon Kasyate (pictured below) of Monitor FM boasted that: “I'm hot. I deserve to be nominated journalist of the year. I am the only one who has a sound byte of Abby and Mark Pilgrim. I have scooped them,†he beamed with clenched fists in the hotel lobby. Kasyate then narrated to all and sundry of how he muscled his way through the airport traffic to talk to the celebrated talk host beating all other journalists. His glee was, however, short-lived, when Mark Pilgrim, even before the press conference granted other journalists a lengthy interview. Mark, though has other problems.
Apparently, his ex-flame (with whom they only broke up recently) is engaged to be married to Big Brother I winner Ferdinand. With a tinge of sacarsim mark told scouts that he absolutely okay with it. I mean, we broke up.
