Zambia: Munya Proves Unbreakable

MUNYA, Zimbabwe's envoy in The Big Brother Africa All Stars House has broken the reality show's record for being the first housemate to survive five nominations.

But that's not all for he is up for eviction again! Tanzania's Mwisho, who is currently the head of house, switched himself for the Zimbabwean guru who is likely to play another magic to remain in the contest.

Initially this time around, normal nomination by-passed Munya. It was Nigeria's Uti, Malawi's code and Tanzania's Mwisho who took advantage of his immunity as head of house to do what he did.

Enthusiasts say Mwisho could not go for Zambia's Paloma because of the recent advances he has been making to the Zambian girl who up to now has not given Mwisho what he wants.

Typical of a man, Mwisho would not want to give up yet, hence chose to keep Paloma in the house for the possibility that she might just succumb.

According to the opinion polls that have already started coming through to the Times

Of Zambia via SMS, it is Uti who is likely to join his acquaintance Sheila in the barn.

It seems the Nigerian has issues with his housemate and Africa especially after his continued stay in the house with an 'I don't care' kind of attitude after the demise of his father.

If the Times of Zambia opinion polls continue being accurate as they have been in the past four weeks, Uti might not just put his hands on the US$200,000 cash that prevented him from mourning his own father.

Last time, opinion polls suggested Kenya's free spirited Sheila as the favorite to leave the house and it so happened.

Sheila was the one who faced Africa's boot this time around though the live audience was very much convinced that Munya has had his time and that it was time to pack up for the barn.

As usual, after Alexander Fobes brought in the results, the audience could be clearly heard shouting and suggesting Munya's name for eviction. Well, that was purely their loud opinion but Africa had its final say. Africa still wants to see Munya in the house.

Just like the last eviction, Munya this time seemed ready for anything though could be seen panicking. He buried his face in the palms as the presenter took his time making a sad face before announcing the name of the next evictee.

What might have caused Munya's phobia believing that he was the one leaving this time around was the manner in which IK called out their names.

"Sheila Sheila you are leaving the Big brother house."

By starting with Sheila's name, Munya thought IK meant to tell her (Sheila) that she was safe as it has always been in his case for the past five eviction shows.

The eviction of Sheila left Uti and Jane in tears. Uti secluded himself from his fellow housemates later in the evening and kept himself busy washing dishes.

When the Kenyan beauty finally walked out of the house to face the audience, it was time for her to review the secret that she had kept from her housemates so that she at least pockets a thousand dollars for that.

"I am afraid of short people, people like Jane," she claims.

After suffering two daggers, it was now her turn to throw a dagger at any of her former housemates.

The dagger said one housemate would be required to wear boxing gloves and shorts for the whole day except in the night for one week.

"I will throw this dagger on a person who feels too much of a lady and that's you Paloma" she said.

Life at the barn was never a nightmare surprisingly for Sheila. It was impressive to see how free-spirited the Kenyan was when she entered the barn, for she adapted to the new environment quicker that anyone. It was as though she knew about it.

But the barnmates had their own dramatic way of welcoming their new member.

This time, they told and made Sheila believe that they were just there simply to welcome her out of the house at Biggie's invitation and that they were leaving after that.She believed but not for long.

As she sat to start her gossip with South Africa's Lerato, it was Paloma and Uti who were the main subject matters.

"You know that Paloma is not fluent in English and she is usually lost in translation," this is one of the gossips Paloma may not be pleased to learn about.

As for her lovebird, it was justification after justification why he has remained in the house despite losing his father.

"I hope they don't touch Uti in the next nomination because I believe he is the only one who is going to kick out Munya," she wished, only if all wishes could come true.

But one interesting thing though is that the presence of the Kenyan beauty in the barn looks not to be working well with the seductive Angolan blonde Tatiana.

Hannington, Taianana's lovebird, seemes to be diverting his attention to the newcomer.

But with Uti on the knife edge, this might not be for long afterall.
