The week six Head of House challenge delivered fierce competition as housemates battled for power, ultimately ending with King Wanda claiming the coveted crown.
The challenge began with Didi, Que, King Wanda and Bravo B stepping up for the opening round. Housemates were tasked with stacking cans and knocking them down using tennis balls, testing both precision and focus. King Wanda quickly set the pace, becoming the first contestant to successfully strike all the balls and advance.
The second round featured The Don, Thandeka, Liema and Mmeli. The pressure mounted as the challenge unfolded, leading to the disqualification of both Thandeka and The Don after they stepped over the line during the task. Liema, however, delivered a strong performance and secured her place in the next stage.
Next to compete were Ashay, Trixie, Tumi the Barber and Ramona. After a competitive round, Ashay emerged victorious, earning the final qualifying spot.
As the competition intensified, King Wanda and Ashay advanced to the deciding round. The final challenge took the form of a hopscotch game, where King Wanda outplayed Ashay to secure the win and officially become this week’s Head of House.
Following the challenge, housemates moved straight into the live nomination session in the diary room. With his new title, King Wanda received immunity and could not be nominated this week.
Didi opened proceedings by nominating Thandeka and Que. She explained that Thandeka creates an uncomfortable living environment in the house, while her nomination of Que stemmed from comments he previously made that left her upset.
Trixie also nominated Thandeka, describing her as a strong contender who is unlikely to be evicted soon. She selected Que as well, saying his remarks towards Didi and the footage she watched did not sit well with her.
The Don chose to nominate Que due to personal differences and selected Ramona because he views her as a serious competitor.
Ilano nominated Thandeka, stating that she rarely takes accountability, and added Trixie as part of the strategic nature of the competition.
Ramona nominated Liema, believing she plays a calculated game, and also chose Thandeka, citing their ongoing tension and matching energy towards one another.
Que nominated The Don, claiming he has struggled to find direction in the game, and also selected Didi, accusing her of involving herself too much in other people’s matters.
Thandeka nominated Liema, saying she tends to stir situations in the house, and also chose Didi, referencing past nominations and her limited participation in gym activities.
Tumi the Barber nominated Mmeli and Liema, saying both pose a threat to his progress in the game.
Ashay nominated Que following the events of Saturday night, stating that his behaviour was unacceptable. He also nominated Mmeli, explaining that although he is a strong personality, he feels Mmeli has changed since becoming close with Thandeka.
Mmeli nominated Ramona and The Don, pointing to their competitive nature as a reason for his choices.
As Head of House, King Wanda nominated Ramona and Mmeli, noting that both had previously nominated him.
Bravo B selected Tumi the Barber without giving a specific reason and nominated Ramona as part of his competitive strategy.
Liema nominated Thandeka, admitting there is personal dislike between them, and also nominated Tumi the Barber, saying his energy makes her uncomfortable.
With nominations complete, the coming days in the house will be filled with wager preps as housemates work to win their wager and wait for their fate on Sunday.
