The house was all calm and good vibes today, but the diary room? Pure drama central. The nominated housemates are really feeling the pressure, trying to wrap their heads around what’s happening.
Sipha Lee was really going through it during his diary session, and of course, every sentence ended with a dramatic "Shuuut uuup" aimed at everyone he felt had betrayed him. As the viewers would say, 'Shutttt upppp – Sipha Lee 2025' 😂 He was visibly annoyed, and convinced that people in the house had turned on him, and he was certain as to who had nominated him.
He even called out Abobo to Biggie, saying when Abobo asked how he felt about being nominated, it was super two-faced, especially since Abobo and Sweet Guluva were the ones who put him on the chopping block in the first place. Meanwhile Sweet Guluva is falsely accused.
Meanwhile, Mandy Hagan was a whole mess during her diary session, and that piggy outfit? Definitely not helping her vibe. Sis was stressed out! She was going back and forth with Big Brother, trying to figure out who HoH Jojo saved. First, she thought Jojo saved Nsuku, then she suspected that maybe Jojo saved her, and then went onto stressing out, hoping it wasn’t one of the gents. Sis was having a whole meltdown.
Luzuko is feeling the burn today. He’s convinced the housemates are all siding with Uyanda after their heated clash over the weekend. During his diary session, he told Big Brother he was stunned to find himself nominated.
He believes Uyanda’s got the ladies on his side, and they teamed up to nominate him. Luzuko also mentioned he knew most of the guys would be up this week, but he didn’t expect to be one of them.
Jojo also opened up to Biggie about why she saved Mandy Hagan, saying she really admires how determined and outspoken Mandy Hagan is about what she’s in the house for. Jojo highlighted that she is all about empowering others and felt she deserved another week to showcase her brand.
Mandy Hagan’s been serving fire makeup looks and wig installs, and she’s been upfront with the housemates about wanting the viewers to see her skills when it comes to everything beauty related.
The week is still in its early stages, and the sting of the nominations is still fresh. Will the nominated housemates alter their strategy, or is it just game on as usual? Only time will tell.
