Sure, Biggie didn’t name the present crop of housemates “All
Stars” for nothing. Aren’t they all stars? And that is why we are in for a
season of drama, content, madness, fights, intrigues, backstabbing and whatnot.
The girls are angry. They are at war. They have decided to
take their destinies into their hands. They have decided to go on strike and
call the bluff of the guys in the house. It was madness galore. And the war is
just beginning.
What about the first kiss that Uriel shared with Neo? And of
course, Ilebaye, the young but hot Ilebaye, and Neo, were at the centre of it
all, while others were on the sidelines.
What about the shouting match between Angel Smith and Neo
with Ilebaye in the mix? What about the fight between Ilebaye and Neo, and the
other housemates caught in the crossfire?
Ilebaye and Neo were busy all night long accusing each other
of being the one head over heels in love with the other and wanting the
relationship at all cost.
Neo said just before they came to the house Ilebaye had been
virtually all over him, begging to be in a relationship with him, how she
almost harassed him sexually in a restroom, entreating him to have it with her.
While Ilebaye, for her part, said Neo was the one dying to
be in a relationship with her, that he had sent her before they moved into the
house. But she had told him point blank that she wasn’t interested.
As regards the shouting match between Neo and Angel, Angel
was in her element. Not only did Angel tell Neo off, but she also said Neo was
not her spec and was angry with him for body-shaming Ilebaye, who was dressed
In a skimpy red outfit that showed all the contours and cleavages of her
medium-sized backside.
What about Venita hedging Ilebaye and provoking her, asking
her to take her out for more than 10 minutes until Mercy came and dragged her
out of the room?
And that seemed to save the day. Because it could have led
to either of them hitting the other and eventually getting disqualified. But
Ilebaye was patient enough not to shove Venita out of the room as she had
threatened.
Ilebaye kept telling Venita, who is far older than her, that
she liked her and had so much respect for her, but Venite would have none of
that, saying Ilebaye neither liked nor had respect for her.
What about Venita sobbing in the restroom, angry not just at
Venita but also at herself and the mess she had found herself in? Until Mercy
and Angel, with whom she had formed a gang came to comfort her and prevented
her from doing what could have meant another confrontation with Ilebaye, taken
a notch higher.
What about Ilebaye toying with Pere’s hair after the storm
and sobbing that her friend Doyin was with the other camp instead not being
there with her and ending up laughing?
What about Doyin playing the devil’s advocate as is her
wont, and taking Neo to task over what Ilebaye had said and picking holes in
Neo’s submission? Doyin was all over the place giving her pieces of advice as
she does on a normal day.
What about the girls vowing never to be in a ship with the
guys in the house, because as the Warri Pidgin slang says, they (the guys) ‘no
reach’? Simply put, none of the ‘boys’ (as they call them) in the house can
foot their bills and none of them can fund their businesses. None of them can
pay for their travel overseas.
“Can any of those boys give me some millions to start a
business? Can they pay for my overseas travel?” Angel asked as she, Mercy and
Uriel (who was ubiquitous, harassing everyone with her massive backside) vowed
never to be in a relationship with any of the male housemates.
Still, the irony in the whole drama is that the irrepressible
Cross, who virtually got himself drunk during the party, gave a foretaste of
the drama that later occurred when he started lifting the female housemates and
carrying them to the table to play a game. Cross in the process of carrying
Venita put a mark on Venita’s thighs.
And that game, which Cross and some of the housemates looked
forward to with excitement, didn’t eventually happen. Cross later went to bed,
while housemates such as Pere and White Money were “all quiet on the western
front.”
However, instead of a game, what ensued and transpired was
the drama that engulfed the whole house. Still, as the drama and madness were
going on, Biggie was silent, watching the unfolding event with Keen interest.
No doubt, last night, Ebuka got a lot which he is going to
talk about at today’s live eviction show, which kicks off at seven in the
evening. And the fans can’t wait to hear fire him from all cylinders, as usual.
This is just the beginning. Something spectacular is about
to happen, as Pastor Paul Adefarasin is fond of saying.
And what happened last night has given us a foretaste of the
drama and fights that are going to happen.
We can’t wait to see them unfold. Still, at the end of the
day, it was a full night.
