>>Mzansi Magic Press Release<<
One of the Housemates' favourite words on BIG BROTHER MZANSI SECRETS is ‘real’. The question of who is being ‘real’ has been at the centre of many debates, gossip sessions and diary room chats, but this week Biggie himself is going to demonstrate the real (pardon the pun!) meaning of the word.
GAME CHANGER: Beloved for having numerous tricks up his sleeve, Big Brother is all about twists, secrets and surprises but this week he’s going nuclear, and is going to turn the game on its head. Make sure you watch the Friday night game (14 March) at 19:00 because it’s game time for the Housemates and they don’t even know it. So just what is Biggie up to?
FRIDAY ‘SAVE AND REPLACE’ REVEAL: This evening, series host Lungile Radu is going into the Big Brother house at Biggie’s instruction. First he’ll go to the Party Room where he’ll update viewers on Big Brother’s incredible plan for the rest of the evening.
Then Lungile will head into the house to ask this week’s controversial (did he or didn’t he cheat?) Head of House Mzamo to reveal his ‘save and replace’ choice immediately. Say what? You heard right, this week the HoH will have to reveal their ‘save and replace’ choice on a Friday instead of, as is usual, on Sunday. So that’s surprise one. But keep counting, there’s more coming.
NOMINATED TRIO: Having discovered that he’s been nominated for eviction, Sol will join fellow nominees Lexi and Jase in sitting out the Friday night game. That’s because their fate already lies in the hands of the voting audience who have been making their choices all week through web, mobile, WeChat and other platforms.
GAME ON: However for the remaining 8 Housemates, a new Game is on. Having headed back to the Party Room, Lungile will call each of the non-nominated Housemates one at a time to come and join him. Once in the Party Room, each Housemate will face a wall filled with random numbers, printed on cards, representing different amounts of money.
The Housemates must then answer just one question. What amount of money would they consider leaving the Big Brother house immediately for?
A DIFFICULT CHOICE: Once they have decided what amount of money could buy them out of the game, they’ll select the printed card reflecting that amount of money and place it in a sealed briefcase. They will then stand by as the rest of the non-nominated Housemates complete the same process.
When all Housemates are standing by with their sealed suitcases, Lungile will ask each of them to open their case and reveal why they chose the amount that they did. Once this is done, Lungile will step aside and hand the reins back to Biggie!
BUZZER BABY: Biggie is going to shock the Housemates ‘to the core’ as they like to say. Given that they are the least greedy, Big Brother is going to instruct the two Housemates who picked the lowest amount of money to leave the game, to progress to the Vault where they will play the thrilling Buzzer Game.
The Buzzer Game is simple but heart stopping. The two Housemates will stand side by side with a red buzzer in front of each of them. Meanwhile, in front of them both, a cash-o-meter money counter will start counting up to an undisclosed amount of cash over a short period of undisclosed time before disappearing.
The first Housemate to press their red button, before the cash-o-meter disappears, will win whatever the amount shown on the screen is and in return will have to leave the Big Brother House immediately while the other Housemate will get immunity and a free pass straight to the finale week.
However if no-one presses their button, they both return to the House, without cash or immunity. It’s going to be nerve-wracking drama so make sure you don’t miss it!
WHAT A WEEK: The Friday night game this week (14 March) is just the latest highlight of an already action packed week. Loko and Mzamo argued; Mandla confessed that he’s falling for Lexi and Jase confusingly begged Kat for another chance as Sol also tried to make amends for not saving her from nominations last week.
Meanwhile MK and Iris continue their flirtation while Thando tries to adjust to life in the house without her ‘bestie’ Lola by getting close to Mzamo. As for Poolie, as long as he’s with Loko, he seems like a happy man.
Meanwhile this week’s task saw Housemates attempt to create a sculpture of what they imagine Big Brother to look like. Given that no-one has ever met Biggie, the Housemates interpretation is entirely a product of their imaginations. But will their artistic talents help them to their first task victory in three weeks?
