I missed the launch show as I was waiting on channel 197 AND 198 for the show to start whilst it was running live on channel 161. Yes, I was looking at the riveting “coming at 21:00” slide and adverts for almost 45 minutes. Only when I decided to come greet the uhdikts on the live blog I realized that the show had been on for some time.
what I was watching... MmmmhhhWhen I went on twitter and saw more confused uhdikts, I did not want to watch anymore… Big Brother Mzansi had started on the wrong foot for me. The slide should have stated that the live show will be on channel 161. Anyways, now that I have gotten that off my chest, you can share with me your highlights for the launch show and we can also start talking about what we have observed the past 2 days since the launch.
The launch show (
the little I saw) Lungile Radu was a welcome new fresh face to the show; however the man looked like he was running a marathon with all the sweating that was going on his face. Tweeps that were at the show were quick to let me know that the studio was scorching hot and everyone in there was in competition for the most efficient sweatglands. Must have been a secret big-e task for the guests; “how much can you sweat whilst I introduce my choice of idziots”
Confusion and territorial When they were all in the house, I was confused at what they were all doing however this is a normal occurrence for night 1… everyone is eager to speak louder,
shake their booty harder, be touched by everyone and be all over. The booze and the secrets (which I had missed) made the confusion even worse for me.
Mostly, I was also intrigued and confused by
Mandla (the spaza shop owner with 2 kids). I labeled the man bi-curious within that first 40 minutes of the credits rolling for the launch show. His profile was bland but the man was making eye-contact,
right moves and touches with Mzamo (our openly gay idziot) and
Lexi (our twerk-pro hurr touching idziot). 
I also became aware of how territorial of the house I am when they hurled “my bed” from one room to the other room. I had been in
24-hour lock-down on that bed just days prior to the idziots moving in and it was the first thing they evicted from the bedroom. Yesssess!
Beauty, beasts and ghost The feeling of being cheated and a lil teary-eyed did not leave me whenever I was shown the male idziots. Why, mara, why? They are good-looking-nyana but they were no sizzle hot hunks on my tele. The women were stunning at first impression! They were also eager to show-off their claim to fame especially Kat, Lexi and Loko. Lexi was and is still a seroius “miss my hairrr”; the hair was getting no break from her touching it in some way or another. Thando, Lola and Vanessa were prim, proper and ladies on a cruise; all they needed was hand fans and brim hats.
The men were timid and I swear there is a ghost amongst the male idziot. The ghost goes by the name of Poolie; that idziot can disappear into the tree wallpaper print in the living room. He is even worse than Wendell at disappearing. The red biggie statue gives me more action and conversation that Poolie.
The other male idziots were either too boisterous like kids on candyfloss (Mandla and Sol) or too feminine (Mzamo, Paris and Mbali) or confused of where to fit in (MK, Kgosi and Jase).
I rewinded and watched over and over that chambermaids initial 1 minute toast for about 15 minutes trying to convince myself that Mbali’s hand gestures were not ringing my gaydar hard. Kgosi seems to be “that guy neh?”, the one that smokes weed and is now having serious cravings… Paris seems to have forgotten to pack his shirts; the man walks around with no shirts on... I am not complaining, I am entertained
Swirly stories The stories that Jenayne (Mbali calls her Shenainai) and Lexi tell, leave me speechless. Lexi told of an accident she witnessed, there was no signal, lights or life there (in her words) but they managed to call the flying squad and ambulance to come assist. Jenayne told of a story where she got hit on the head with a Moet bottle at a club. She did not know the woman that hit her and this person had no remorse for doing it. When she walked out the club, literally minutes after being hit (in her words), there were about 5 police vans outside the club looking for the person that had hit her.
Sistahood Zebra-gown Drama Sol and Kat started exchanging some tounge on Day 1.Kat has, however also started exchanging some
serious tounge with Jase as well on Day 2. To try to
create some drama, Loko and Kat decided to pretend that they were arguing over Sol “playing” them. This resulted in a squabble between all the female idziots including the self-professed God of the Goddesses (Mzamo) when shim was comparing the Lexi/Mandla and Sol/Kat relationships. To fix the mess, shim started preaching “sistahood, all sistas need to stick together”.
My worries Chambermaids need to get some sun, those poor people cannot be locked up without sunlight for a long time..Kgosi has to get some grass in his system, anyways...
Iris is in way over her head, can the poor chick please be evicted. Thank goodness she is in the Chambers and not the main house. She will be crucified if she gets moved to the other house. She reminds me of Maureen and Esperanca.
Something has stolen the idziots voices and I think big-e must send an ENT in there. Jase, Loko, Kat and Vanessa have hoarse voices and are doing more damage to their vocal chords.
There are just too many tasks and unclear instructions on the task sheet. How do uhdikts keep up when these idziots get a task every 30 minutes??
