Nairobi — Kenya has lost a chance of winning $200,000 ( Sh14 million) cash prize, after contestant Jeremy Ndirangu was evicted from the Big Brother Africa house, on Sunday night.
Jeremy survived 56 days out of the total 91 he needed to win. He matches the number of days Kenya's first contestant Alex Holi stayed in Big Brother House 1, in 2003.
Kenya's second contestant in BBA2, Jeff Anthony Omondi, stayed for 28 days in 2007, while the third contestant, Sheila Kwamboka, stayed in the BBA3 house for 44 days.
The worst was this year's contestant Teddy Muthusi, who was evicted after only seven days.
Jeremy, a Bachelor of Science Telecommunication and Information Technology student at Kenyatta University and the current holder of the Mr University title, was a laid-back person, who loved spending time alone or at the university's gym.
As a soft-spoken person, most of his friends say that they got to see his 'true colours' while he was in the house. He was loved by many viewers, especially women, because he had an athletic body which he kept on showing off throughout his entire stay in the house.
He choked while trying to smoke, threw-up a few times during the drinking sprees and denied the fact that he had a girlfriend back home.
Jeremy befriended Angola's female contestant, Emma, on day 20 and they became the 'couple' of the house. However, both of them were nominated last week, alongside Malawian Mzamo.
Just after the eviction, Jeremy told the show's host that he will miss Emma. There are now nine contestants remaining and the show ends on December 6.
Jeremy is expected to jet into the country on Wednesday.
