The first eviction show of the Big Brother Mzansi season saw two housemates say goodbye to Biggie and their chance of winning R2 million. Emotions ran high as the housemates entered the third head of house competition, with all members ready to, "fight a python to win head of house", if that is what the challenge required.
This week's challenge came in two phases – where the quickest of wits and feet would see the housemate crowned head of house, which comes with the immunity from this week's eviction, and then the power to nominate who will stand in this week's live eviction show.
The housemates entered the games without Biggie's say so, which put their wagers in danger before they had even started.
The housemates participated in three rounds of "pin the name on the board", which saw them given 30 seconds to fish through a bowlful of animal names to find the correct name of the animal seen on a screen.
They had to run from the desk to their allocated board to pin the correct name.
The fourth round saw Sis Tamara, Acacia and Yoli vying for the coveted title of head of house, which comes with privileges.
With strategic eyes and a lot of luck, Sis Tamara was crowned head of house, with Yoli second to get deputy head of house.
The duo was asked to nominate not two, but four housemates to be evicted in this week's live eviction show.
Both Yoli and Sis Tamara were taken aback by the request which left Yoli in tears and Sis Tamara distressed.
Yoli nominated Themba, Acacia, Nthabi and Tulz, who was later vetoed by Sis Tamara and replaced with Vyno. Added to the nominees this week were Naledi, Zeno and Mpho.
With 17 left to fight it out for the R2-million grand prize, there is a lot to gain and a lot to lose as the housemates enter week three of Big Brother Mzansi.
