Uganda: Big Brother - Kevin is Shs 400 Million Richer

With eleven votes out of the possible 14, Kevin Chuwang, 27, was undeservedly BBA4's $200,000 winner in addition to his money pot of over $2700. In fact only South Africa, Namibia and Angola voted against Kevin whereas the rest of Africa voted for the Nigerian wannabe.

Not even women proponents who had earlier wanted a woman to win it this time round were able to gang up with Africa and vote against Kevin.

"I feel like Obama right now," Kevin said when asked about how he felt about winning BBA Revolution which kicked off on September 6. He said that he has a lot at the moment in his life and so the $ 200,000 could not have come in at a better time. Even before presenter IK announced his name, he knew he was going to win as the live audience outside the house chanted "Kevin Kevin Kevin Kevin...."

Even first runner up Emma joined in the chanting although to Kevin it proved too much to handle. When IK announced him as the final winner, after hugging Emma, he just sprawled out on the floor motionless. On the stage, he was open-mouthed throughout as his mother wept. They both jumped and cried hopelessly as Kevin's name was written on the dummy cheque.

Kevin to pursue Eliza

Although we have not yet heard anything from Elizabeth, Kevin suggested to IK that his love-hate relationship with Elizabeth will totally depend on what he finds outside the house.

"It will depend on what I find outside. If she is involved in a relationship definitely I will respect that," he said. Emma has ruled out anything with heartthrob Jeremy saying that they both talked about the impossibility of a long distance relationship.

Well, Jeremy unlike his counterpart Kevin, at least shared a few kisses and touches with Emma while in the house. Earlier on the evicted housemates performed Michael Jackson's Thriller and the 2010 World Cup Super Diski dance. Inside the house where IK had joined the three finalists, he called on American hip hop sensation Bow Wow to perform and they were shocked. Emma mouthed: "Bow Wow performing?"

For Nigerian Nkenna (5th), the mere thought of the red carpet was enough. "The red carpet is outside, I have never felt like this before." Namibian Edward (second runner up) said he held no regrets as he had had fun.
