Melvin Alusa who was Kenya’s last contestant at Big Brother Hotshots
Kenya’s Alusa became the first male housemate to be evicted from Big Brother Hotshots on Sunday, and the 7th housemate altogether. The previous weeks had ladies being the only evictees and when Tanzania’s Laveda was evicted earlier in the evening, it seemed the trend was to go on. ALusa however broke that streak and his departure also means that there are no more Kenyan housemates left to compete for the USD300 000 prize, after his compatriot Sabina left last week.
Once auditors SizweNtsalubaGobodo had delivered the verified votes to IK, he told viewers that the tie-breaker rule was once again going to have to come into play, as there was a tie in the country votes. asked Head of House Nhlanhla revealed his “add†decision being Zambia’s MAcky2. He stated that the reason behind this the housemates’ performance in the Head of House Qualifier task. He felt that Macky2 had put in the least effort because he was confident in himself and his status in the game, so he’d named the Zambian as his ‘add’ choice.
After sending the nominated housemates to safety, one by one, JJ and Laveda were left standing. IK revealed that the Tanzanian’s time in the Big Brother house was up and asked her to say her goodbyes. When she joined him on stage, he quizzed her about relationships in the house – specifically around her interest in Permithias. “It’s been three weeks – it’s just a mystery,†she said, giving nothing away. She said that perhaps the housemates had expected her to be different and had struggled to come to terms with the way she really was.
The drama wasn’t over, though, as Big Brother told IK that another housemate needed to be evicted. Heading back into the house, IK asked the remaining 6 nominated housemates to stand. He didn’t leave them hanging on for long, telling Alusa to leave the house almost right away. Out on stage, the Kenyan was upbeat, but said he didn’t really know why he’d been evicted. “Maybe the fans thought they’d seen enough of me,†he said after IK offered his presence as an ‘Emerald housemate’ from last season as a possible reason.
The housemates up for possible eviction this week are: Botswana’s Sheillah. The other six Arthur and Frankie (both Rwanda); Kacey Moore (Ghana); Luis (Namibia); Mr. 265 (Malawi) and Macky2(Zambia).
