ZIM SISTERS UNLEASH THE TEARS

The game is on and tears have started running in the house. During dinner in Downville Zimbabwean Housemates Maneta and Teclar broke into tears following their Nominations. Zimbabwe was selected using the Random Nomination Mechanism introduced by Big Brother during the Live launch Show alongside Tanzania bringing the number of Nominated Housemates to four. Teclar cried about how she had left her job and how much she had sacrificed to be in the game while her sister Maneta just thought it was unfair. The Housemates tried calming the inconsolable siblings down but not even being tucked neatly in Seydou’s arms helped Maneta. The Housemates insisted that this could be one of Biggie’s twists so they just had to be strong and have fun. They seem very desperate for the $300,000............ WHO WOULDNT BE? What do you think abt this?

BBA 7 HOUSE MATES ALL FEMALE?????

WHAT DO U THINK??????

Housemate on Brazilian version of Big Brother was 'RAPED" on live TV after alcohol-fueled party

A housemate on Brazil's version of Big Brother has been raped live on TV, it has been alleged.
Police today confirmed they had begun an investigation and carried out a search of the studios in Rio de Janeiro, where the popular reality show is being filmed.
Viewers were shocked in the early hours of Sunday to watch contestant Daniel Echaniz 31, apparently force himself on 23-year-old student Monique Amin, who had passed out drunk after a boozy party.

Night cameras fimed Echaniz, a male model, get into the bed where Ms Amin was sleeping before appearing to have sex with her under the covers.
Throughout the incident the female contestant appeared unconscious.
The next morning Ms Amin was asked about the incident in the diary room, and appeared to know little of what had happened.
As the scandal began to engulf the show, one of Brazil's most watched TV programmes, police officers arrived at the house and interviewed Ms Amin for three hours, before taking her away for a rape examination, according to sources.

Sharon O & Ronnie SPLIT????????????? Ronnie says FALSE NEWS.

There is reportedly a big rift between Obsessions Ronnie Mulindwa and his chic Sharon O. Sources close to the family have revealed that Ronnie, dad to Sharon's son Lisbon, is unhappy with the kind of celebrity status his wife is starting to get.

We were told; "He has confided in a few friends and is really insecure that Sharon no longer has time for the family. She is up and down doing personal projects." This is isn't surprising considering Ronnie was always uneasy while Sharon was participating in the M-Net reality TV show, Big Brother Amplified in South Africa.

However Ronnie has taken time to speak and tell Sharon O's fans that all we read in the papers isnt true and that he and Sharon O are OK.
He posted this on facebook today .

"Roni Mulindwa
My friends, thank you so much for all the love and concern and i truely appreciate. BUT my status has nothing to do with my relationship. Sharon and i are fine. we have no issues whatsoever.we are happy. most of what i write come from a book i could be reading or a song iv listened to and thus share it with u my friends JUST as many of u do. So NO WORRIES SHARON AND I ARE OK."


Sharon O and Ronnie we really hope you guys are fine and still going strong.
BIG UPS to you guys.

Did Sharon O and Lomwe hook up???????????????????????

During the show, Sharon O and Lomwe were "friends"but she also confided in Vina that she was attracted to him, complaining that being locked up in the house could make you start developing feelings that were not there before. And it was obvious to us all that there was CHEMISTRY between these two.
After the show and quite recently, Lomwe and Sharon were on a boat cruize in Malawi recently having fun

Sharon O has been linked to her long time boyfriend Ronnie who she also has a son for.

Latest info coming in indicates that Sharon O has got herself a deal to air her own Reality Show. Watch this space!

Maureen (BBA2) Now Into Counselling

Until the last Big Brother episode Maureen had been enjoying the role of being the only female Uganda representative in the Big Brother TV series but now Sharon O has taken over after she was not only evicted on the last day but also a finalist.

Maureen was trying to respond to clear the space on what she is doing and also the baby news and this is what she had to say; "When reporting on what I am now doing with my life, please get the facts right. I am happy raising my son, Elijah Taylor, and counseling young ladies at Rubaga Cathedral. It is my wish that every lady finds happiness like I have."

The message is that she is now into counselling services, taking care of Elijah and best of all she is happy and would wish the same for other ladies. The Big Brother Africa version in which Maureen featured was one of those sessions when shower hour was still on the house and so I am certain she hasn't been forgotten.

She does look good and happy if i must say so myself.
