The first sponsored task of the season is in the bag, and Team Spicy Shisanyama (Melino, Muzi-TheMbuzi, Philile, Swiss and Tyrone) emerged victorious in the arena. However, while the celebration was sweet, the reality of house duties quickly set in. The housemates were physically drained and lacked the energy to continue with preparations for their next wager.
Before the sponsored task kicked off, Tyrone attempted to organise the housemates by assigning roles, but this was interrupted as they headed to the arena for three rounds of "A Taste of the Missing Letters." The challenge was intense, but after securing the win, the house had to refocus on their responsibilities.
Jojo took the lead in trying to get the housemates back on track, requesting Tyrone to continue with his earlier assignments. His response, "Speak to your housemates," was met with a firm "I am not asking them, I am telling them" from Jojo. This sparked resistance, with some housemates arguing, "You want us to work on 0%." Sensing the mood, Jojo backed down, allowing the housemates to rest – an act that carried a heavy sense of defeat.
Despite the tension, Melino and Sweet Guluva continued with their kitchen duties, albeit with complaints. Sweet Guluva felt burdened, stating that housemates were supposed to wash their own "bread things" while he was only responsible for plates. Tyrone stepped in to assist, acknowledging that his team was absent and offering a helping hand.
Meanwhile, cooking duty resumed with limited supplies after Biggie’s ninjas raided the house. With exhaustion at an all-time high and resources running low, the looming question remains: will the housemates rally in time for their next wager, or is a loss on the horizon, just as Ash-ley Ogle anticipated?
