BBA gets sizzling

The guys, on the other hand, remain oblivious to their female housemates’ existence in the Pamper Palace that is bordered by a wall. Behind the wall is an empty space that will serve to control the sound from traveling into the main house. Despite all these precautions, the girls’ screams have evidently alarmed Big Brother who has told them, more than three times, to keep their voices down.
However, the male housemates are still reeling after losing two housemates, and not gaining any, as some had predicted throughout the week.
The first eviction  was last Sunday  which saw Kenya’s Teddy and Ghana’s Wayoe leave the house after receiving the fewest votes from Africa this week and will not be able to meet the newly-arrived ladies.
Big Brother — never short on surprises — laid on quite a few this week.
When the female housemates entered the house, they had no idea that they wouldn’t be joining the guys immediately. The guys don’t know that the female housemates have entered the house as they are sequestered in a separate section of their own, with a partition separating them from the guys. And the female housemates don’t know when they will join the guys in the house, but can watch the guys on a TV screen in their lounge area.
To top it all, IK, the show host, revealed to viewers — not housemates — at last Sunday’s evicition show that the partition between the two sections of the house will be broken down next week, allowing male and female housemates to meet for the first time. That was Sunday’s action-packed show which began with IK welcoming the continent to the Revolution before a high-energy performance by hip-hop star HHP set the tone for the night. Viewers were then taken on a review of the past week in the house before IK answered to the housemates’ burning question – who would be the first to leave?
After letting the tension build, IK broke the news – Teddy would be the first to leave. With just 30 seconds to say his goodbyes, there was just enough time for a few pats on the back before he headed out to join IK on stage.
With the housemates coming to terms with the first elimination of Big Brother Revolution, IK delivered another surprise when he took viewers back into the house and told the housemates that a second person would be leaving this week. Shocked into silence, the housemates could only wait wordlessly until IK announced the name of the second evictee – Wayoe.
With that, it was time to bring out the female housemates — but not before IK gave viewers a sneak peek into the ladies’ living quarters. The big surprise for viewers – and what the ladies only discovered when they entered the house — was that the women would be living apart from the guys for the time being. Big Brother Revolution is screened live, 24/7 on DStv Channel 198 or 199.
