BBA 3. NOT ALL THAT AFTERALL...

It's been a week already since I posted here, a week since BBA 3 started, a week since 12 new guinea pigs were shoved in our faces and sadly, I'm already tired! I really am a reality show buff so much so that I had to get on one but for some reason, watching BBA3 seems to be more like a chore than anything else! I am not trying to be the ultimate critic here. It's just my honest opinion. We got to see too much too soon from the 12 new housemates and there seems to be some level of desperation to impress much more than anything else.

But then I haven't watched as much as I shoul have. Heard about a game of truth or dare but couldn't watch, I also missed the shared kisses all over the place and that means I can't even talk as much as I'd have wanted to this week.

I like the idea of a fake eviction at first instance though. Twists should be unexpected and this one sure is...

M'while, here are a few of my thoughts on week one;

WORST STRATEGY EVER ON BIG BROTHER:

This is Latoya's award definitely! She said to Big Brother in the diary room on Day 3, that she was glad to be playing with Morris' and Ricco's minds. According to her, she'd be glad if 5 or 6 guys were after her since that was her strategy; to get the men to drool over her!

Well, on Day 6, it was all over after Uti talked to her and told her to make up her mind and let Morris know where things stood. She goes on to say she likes Morris and can't hurt him. Meaning that with 84 days to go, her strategy was already up in smoke and nearly dead on arrival. How dreadful...

PRETTY CONFUSED OR BEAUTIFUL LIAR?

Lucille is everyone's darling. Pretty, quiet and probably much more of a personality than meets the eye. She told Big Brother on Day 3 that she was not comfortable with the attention she was getting from the men all of a sudden. She had hoped to go unnoticed in the house for a while but it obviously didn't work out.

Then she got quizzed by Munya and she claimed to like Ricco and Uti and Munya and TK. She ended up (probably) kissing Munya on Day 7 but then walked out of the room afterwards. Then she told Thami in the glass room that she likes Munya but just as a friend. She'd also said before that she liked his voice and used to actually like TK at the start of the show. Too many emotions all at once and viewers don't know where to hold on to!

Can she really be that confused or is she messing withe evryone?

WE'RE NOT SMARTER THAN 5TH GRADERS!

First it was Uti who thought that the Tutsi's and Hutu's fought in Uganda and not Rwanda!

Then Munya (the Zimbabwean) didn't remember when Zimbabwe gained their independence!

Then Thami (the South African) confused South Africa's Independence with the end of Apartheid.

Too many gaffes for one week!!!

PINOCCHIO!

On day 4, Sheila told Uti that she had no idea how the whole Big Brother concept works. According to her, she had never watched the show before becoming a housemate herself apart from the 2 scenes she once caught in passing. She blames that for not having a strategy.

But then, Sheila has talked about Abby and Bruna and Gaetano and Jeff; all former BB housemates. She also confessed to having applied last year for BBA2 and while watching Jeff, she couldn't understand why they picked him over her! Dodgy girl huh...

SICKO RICCO!!!

His neck twitches unbelievably, he blinks every 2 seconds, he acts half his age and cross dresses!He lost out in the battle for Latoya with Morris, sems to be losing female fans equally and has been insinuated to be gay but hey, he hasn't stopped for a break. Too much drama in one package. I hope he slows down and tones down soon cos the cross dressing in particular is not even near funny anymore.

VANITY, STUPIDITY AND POOR VISION!

The vogue in the house seems to be the wearing of sunglasses all the time. Someone probably told them that it was/is a cool idea or that it's currently the vogue, probably to fool them but they obviously took the person seriously. Uti wears shades indoors and at night, Takondwa wears shades inside the house and at night, so also do Sheila, Ricco, Mimi and Munya! I'm still trying to figure out what the whole idea is but I sure know that it's wrong.

Morris is the most guilty tho. The brother feels like he's the best thing since sliced bread and loves to show off his arms and body. He must have been told in the past that he's really cute and that has worked for him. But the shades at night; c'mon!

THAMI AGAINST THE WORLD.

I like Thami but I feel like I'm alone on this one. The viewers think he's irritating, self centered, laughs in a weird way and doesn't take jokes very well. The housemates also agree and put him up for (fake) nomination this week.But I think he's smart, sincere, funny and quite the drama king. I liked that he threw out the cigarrettes and meat in the house! Nice twist! The fact that he's not even a suspect makes it more interesting. He's also the only person to have noticed a clique forming in the house amongst Morris, Uti and Ricco even it seems more a case of paranoia. Big Brother punished him for wasting food by throwing meat away but hey, it did give his show, content for 3 whole days with the house in panic over what had happened to the missing items. Hope he stays in for a bit longer than the viewers/housemates want him to...

AND THE WINNER IS...

If the show were to end today, Munya woud win. He's good looking, talks well, says the right things at the right time, smiles a lot and is hooking up with the hottest chic in the house, Lucille. I like him a lot and most housemates and viewers do too. But his style of nominations might be his undoing. It's still a blur as to why he nominated Lucille, a girl supposedly after his heart. Obviously places the prize money over anything else. Would that backfire? We'll see...

Okay, so if I didn't watch that much last week and still had this much to say, then you can only imagine that next week must be loaded. See u then...
