Kampala — I didn't know Big Brother fans across Africa could be so green as far as strategy is concerned.

My surmise was that countries whose housemates were still on the M-net reality show would evict Ricco, a bigger threat than Takondwa (TK). That way, they would create winning space for their representative.

But bingo! Like strategy was unheard-of to them, their 10 votes, including the 11th from countries not represented on the show, went to TK, making him the sixth evictee. Seems Ugandan fans are the only discerning, as they sought to oust Ricco to give Morris a shot at the sh170m up for grabs.

Zambia, as expected, voted against Ricco - they couldn't have voted out their own. During the two months TK spent on the show, he was nominated five times until voters did him in on Sunday.

Answering show host Kabelo's questions, TK said he knew the housemates would be happy that he had fallen.

He said he would establish contact with previous evictee and 'fling-mate' Kenya's Sheila so the two could collaborate in music.

During the live eviction show, Kabelo wrestled TK out of his brown sweater that fans have throughout the show insinuated contained charms to keep him in the house.

Mr. Slow Motion didn't want to give it up until Kabelo told him the jersey, as fans had labeled it, would be auctioned for charity.

But the highlight of the show was the arrival of a Cameroonian elder named Richard Fondom, who will live with the young housemates for a week, teaching them some old-fashioned African values.

The dude - allow me to call him dude - who has a lisp in his speech and incessantly says 'yes', has a typical look of those old men we see being called Igwe in Nigerian movies. And he has that cultural 'bling-bling' around his neck that makes him look like some herbalist- those who sell aphrodisiacs and other birth-enhancement stuff.

He makes housemates feel like daddy is around. This is so far the craziest thing Biggie has ever done. There is no more swearing, no noise, no kissing - just like that.

Well, as hospitable as Ugandans come, Morris is his closest buddy, serves him food, water and engages him in some elderly talk - stuff like African chiefdoms, marriage and the like, thanks to the Ugandan's knowledge of African literature. Now Morris has promised to introduce him to aerobics.

I only hope the old man does not faint at our boy's hands.
