Celebrities in the firing line (Part I)
Monday, May 28th, 2012 6:50:56 by Fahad ZafarCelebrities in the firing line (Part I)
The second eviction in Big Brother Africa StarGame reality show last Sunday (May 20) saw the exit of housemates Dalphin, Yadel and Luke from Downsville; while Sierra Leon’s Zainab was elevated to the celebrity residence, Upville.
She survived the eviction having received the most country votes.
The expulsion of Yadel and Luke means that Liberian viewers – like their counterparts in Tanzania – have to contend with the fact that the game is lost. Tanzania’s Julio and Hilda were the first to be evicted, together with Zimbabwean Teclar, whose sister
Maneta was moved to Upville.
All is not lost for debutante Sierra Leone despite the eviction of Dalphin; they are still represented by Zainab.
Two other housemates, Ola and Chris from Nigeria, had already left the game before the eviction show. The duo voluntarily left due to Ola’s health concerns. Chris had to go in accordance with the game rules governing the Downsville House, where contestants
play as partners.
Their departure saw outbursts of emotions within the House, as housemates least expected their exit and Namibia’s Junia, who had grown close to Ola, could not hold back her tears.
The Upvillers, who have been enjoying life for the last two weeks with no nomination worries and eviction stress, are on the receiving end this time. Downville is off the hook this Sunday – they are on nomination break.
The holiday is over as they had their first nomination session last Monday (May 21) and one of the celebrities will leave the comfort zone for good on May 27.
The eviction in Upville was preceded by drama between the Zimbabwean housemates – Maneta and Roki. The two have been at each other’s throats, exchanging insults for the better part of the week.
Ola and Chris’ exit and Zainab’s upgrade to Upville means that 18 housemates remain in Downville, while there are now nine in Upville.
