Just the sheer excitement of a surprise visit from the hot, hot, hot Keri Hilson on Friday night was enough to shade the whole weekend in fabulosity.
Namibia's own kwaito artist, The Dogg also had a chance to shine in the afterglow, entering the BBA house on Saturday. Then it was off to the arena to get their quad on as the housemates' weekly arena games injected some adrenaline to the game.
It's early Sunday morning [as I write this] and as the housemates are still snoozing off the night before.
I am hopefully hoping that Eddie will be saved from eviction. By the time you read this, the dye will already have been cast and a fresh round of nominations already be in the works.
You gotta love the world of Big Brother. So designed to keep you under pressure. I feel for the housemates. But yeah, they've got a whopping US$200 000 prize glaring out at them and a whole lot of opportunities once the show is over, so I won't feel too sorry for them.
MISS HILSON!
Especially after meeting Keri! Jealousy and envy become me.
Can you just imagine being that up close and personal with Keri Hilson. OMG! Woe is me!
Wish I could have snuck in for that one.
She's absolutely gorgeous, a mega-star yet she came across as warm, down to earth and very intelligent. She never displayed any diva-ish antics and made time to chat to all the housemates, sharing her experiences of the US music industry and life as a celebrity.
It all happened just after 20h00 on Friday.
The housemates were sitting around chilling, wondering who the celeb guest would be - they had absolutely no idea that a member of R&B and Hip Hop royalty was about to give them their very own private show.
HYSTERIA LANE
Keri appeared behind the blinds in the glass house, got on stage and performed her first song to the hysterical screaming and jumping around housemates.
Some stood around in awe, frozen by a funny mixture of shock and excitement. Some of the guys and Guccilicious Liz jumped right on the stage with her!
Once the first song was over, there was a harried period where the housemates must have scared her a little. They were so excited, hugging her non-stop, taking probably a thousand photos.
The ladies quickly ran upstairs to change into something a little sexier and get all blinged out.
Some housemates decided to showcase their own talents (or lack thereof). Eish Emma!
The budding starlet actually sang for Keri. I like Emma and she's partnered with our boy so up to now, I've not said anything about her singing but I felt a little embarrassed for her.
Her singing is not great - off tune, false at times and her strong accent doesn't do her any favours either but she so desperately wants to be a singer, so I kind of feel for her.
Nigeria's swagga boy, Kevin, who was visibly nervous did a li'l rap for Keri, while Eddie demonstrated his beat box skills.
Kaone, who is a traditional dancer back home, showed Keri a couple of African dance moves. Would be cool to see her incorporate a few of them in her future music videos.
They took her on a tour of the house and then they all sat down to dinner.
Keri toasted the warmth of the African people and had a drink, even though she said she doesn't usually drink while working.
And she actually ate, hey, instead of pushing the food around her plate like other celebs would. Saying she loves eating and doesn't really watch what she eats or exercise frantically.
She shared much of her journey to stardom saying it took her eight long years, working with shady record execs who promised the world but delivered very little.
She also spoke of her job in the background of the music industry as a songwriter - working with the bigwigs of the business like Timbaland, Diddy, Jay Z and Kanye West, and writing songs for stars such as Mary J Blige and Whitney Houston. She dished the dirt on what the artists are really like, saying Kanye was actually very sweet and humble one on one, while Diddy liked to overpower any situation and loved to flash.
After dinner she performed another song again and just before she was on her way, bloody Kristal had to show her roots by asking the star for her sunglasses. Eish, embarrassment!
Keri tried to protest but then graciously handed them over.
Just before she got on stage I heard someone else asking for something but she managed to shut them down sweetly, saying that item was a little bit more expensive than the sunglasses.
Then, just like she came, she was gone and the housemates were left to reminisce and reflect on how the evicted housemates would feel about missing out on the awesome experience.
THE DOGG DOES GENT
Then the next day, 'You Can't Ignore' singer, The Dogg was in the house. I admit, I did not get a chance to see much of it but from what I have managed to gather, he was a perfect gentleman.
Well spoken, full of jokes and quite intelligent in his dealings with the other housemates.
Early Saturday, HoH Quinn was called to the Diary Room by Big Brother where he found a fluffy Dogg and a note directing him to the Eviction Doors.
As soon as Quinn was close to the door, The Dogg's popular kwaito song 'My Song Is On The Radio' came on, and the man himself, Namibian celebrity guest The Dogg, came in through the gates, to Quinn's surprise.
Quinn was very excited to see him; he happily welcomed him to the house. Kristal was the first person Quinn introduced The Dogg to. She suggested that The Dogg should immediately be taken to Edward.
Fellow country man Edward was the most excited to see The Dogg. He jumped out of his bed, with nothing but his briefs still on, and hugged his the Namibian star.
Saturday afternoon saw more fun and excitement, as the housemates went quad-biking in the arena. All in all, a fun and very exciting weekend, so here's hoping the fun surprises continue and Edward manages to beat eviction and nomination - to keep flying the Nam flag high.
Stay tuned for tonight's nomination show, to see whose head will be on the chopping block this week.

Beware The Tower Of Babel Agenda of unity from the top down
The Antichrist ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT is ever looming to
come out of the Dead Womb Of Hell !
* Answer is from ground up (aka Grass Roots) – Government of self, family, neighborhoods, cities, etc..
Use the great American design (that was written & spoken, but never actually implemented. Every phase of American government was initially designed to have checks & balances on it.
WHAT WENT WRONG ?
* They never put a regular vigilant monitoring system in place
* They blindly trusted human nature which is consistently evil
* They allowed so-called public servants to make a career out of being a so-called public servants.
* They justified their oversight by concluding that all politicians lie .
DO ALL POLITICIANS LIE ?
Again the answer is self-government with constant vigilance ; especially in key areas
such as vote counting and verification (avoid the computerized voting machines .
These are stealing elections. [ See http://www.blackboxvoting.org/ ]
“ It is not who votes, IT IT WHO COUNTS THE VOTES “
Don’t allow anyone to make a career out of public service. If they really are a
public servant, they will make their mark and use their own drive to serve the
public.
God makes real public servants, not voters.
WAKE UP !!! STAY UP !!!
