There you have it. Absolute proof that
last week's non-elimination was a terrible waste of money and time.
Nothing happened last Sunday and suddenly Juicy Jay, Olivia, Nelisa and Yemi Cregx were ousted this Sunday night in a quadruple eviction which will now create a huge vacuum in the house because of it happening in one week instead of two.
If Ebuka thinks last week was a bore fest, what's the show going to do to liven things up this week?! At least Juicy Jay used to provide entertainment with his sweeping monologues and SAFTA-winning ambitions.
His response at watching himself from the eviction couch was classic - he was literally moved to tears by his performance but now that's over and all we're left with are anguished, unhappy housemates who looked as if they were desperate to escape the house throughout the entire live show.
We took TVSA member
Timone's advice and kept tuning in to see what they were doing "behind-the-scenes" on Channel 198 and they were filled with despair from the start.
This was them throughout the show:
And Ebuka still had the cheek to scold them for not being entertaining enough last week. "You'all gave zero entertainment," he chided. "Up your game guys," - as if it's all on them to make the show work.
NO. It's the show's responsibility. Either they cast the show poorly or the production's not doing enough to make the housemates interesting. Whichever one it is, it isn't the housemates' fault and now they're being blamed.
Yes, they lost people they care about on Sunday and the R2-million is important to them, but the misery they're expressing is too extreme for a reality show - we've never seen it before.
You could see they were genuinely feeling very negative. They didn't even want to speak to us during the live show. Their silence was worse than ever this week.
What does it mean? And how can they be expected to entertain us more this week when they have so little at their disposal?
What have they got to look forward to? More challenges that are about the sponsors and not them, more alcohol at yet another party, more threesome "tensions" - and what else?
Oh yes, they've had to grovel and apologise to sponsor flutterwave today for their "bad behaviour on Saturday." Bah!
There's a twist this week but those are always underwhelming.
It's extremely disturbing to see what's become of them.
