BIG BROTHER AFRICA: Houses Merge

Monday, June 27, 2011 marked a surprising change as the Heads and Tails houses of the Big Brother Amplified were merged as one, creating a moment of fun as the remaining 16 housemates of the TV show unite for the time since the first week it all began. A great reunion which brought the Heads housemates blindfolded from the Chat Room one by one into the Tails’ house. Housemates were left wondering as none of them was called for nomination.
Series of events unfolded at dinner time starting with the stunned Heads Housemates seeing Hanni being called into the Chat Room. Unbeknown to them, she was then blindfolded and led to the Glass House. After standing in the Glass House for a while, she took tentative steps towards the Tails door – and there was uproar when she was spotted by the Tails Housemates. Several minutes after the departure of Hanni, the Heads House began to wonder what was going on, with Vina guessing that a twist in the game was afoot. One by one, the Heads Housemates were led into various spots around the Tails House, with each surprise ‘delivery’ sparking enthusiastic greetings, hugs and tears.

The excited housemates after the merge scrambled to fill each other in on what had been happening in both houses over the past couple of weeks. Vina was the one who immediately saw the curveball for what it was, mumbling under her breath about how much tougher the game will be, going forward. Karen, Bernadina, Mumba and Kim set about filling everyone in on what had happened in the Tails House: from Lotus slapping Luclay and subsequently being disqualified to revealing the relationships that had grown.

In all these excitements, the Housemates have yet to consider what the merge and lack of nominations will result into come Sunday.
