Why are some of these people lying about their age? Has life been that hard for some of them that they get premature aging? The battle scar lines on the faces of a number of the contestants cannot be denied. Come on, we can see the real 20+ versus the 30+ yr olds.
hahahahahah loooooool
Dats so true..example is Bernadina from Namibia saying she’s 21..she looks mad older dan dat..
alex is a hottie..
Alex looks gay…………
hahahahahahaha most of these people are not telling the truth about their ages lol some look like my grandparents and still not telling the truth lol.
Loool damn these people look grown.. just a few look young and ewww that Lotus girl needs to get rid of that nasty nose piercing lool.. EWWWWWW so ghetto
@maame hahahah lmao you can say that again
i said de same thing its very gross uno n de hair luks nasty n dirty..at least keep it neat wae LMAO
is it me or does Luclay looks a bit like Jamie Fox
O mine, that is exactly what I was going to say.I knew he had this African american face but wasn’t sure who that could be.They look so much alike. H mm, its going to be tough in that house, I guess people have already spotted their secret admirers.
Almost all the ladies got wig on except for the Tanzania and Botswana chics.
sorry for them if the ones with the weaves end up staying for most of the 91 days lol
Yeah Luclay does look very much like Jamie Fox
That was what I was about to say, The hair-cut and piercing, just lyk Jamie.
Lomwe is cute.
This Alex guy is fine..
@adjoa Nbaaso I’m going to divorce you if you say that again loooool how are you
Loool, Miyagi, I dont even know that guy oooo.Am only saying, no strings attached…Am gud sweety, urself?
@adjoa nbaaso lol. I am happy your okay miyagi is knocked out in bed got flu so have been in. Bed almost whole day
Aww, get well soon hun.Have you taken any medication yet?
yes my dear i have thanks keep in touch
Its nice dat to ve western celebrities n western mvoies as ur favs ba at least dey shd enjoy their local celebs n movies too..how can sum1 b in africa n b watching american shows unless u use de internet 24/7..ba de local champions ve their shows free on tv..housemates start enjoyin ur local champions cos u ve no choice..
Luclay is 35, Karen is 30, Michael is 37, Nic is 36, Mumba is 34, Millicent is 38, Felicia is 34, Danny is 40, Hanni is 35 & Jossy is 45!!!!
Araba, where did you find their real age? LOL
Lol BB, their ages are clearly written on their faces abi………………liars
lol 😀
awwww man am missin oh! Alright you guys gonna have to keep me posted. You know what though…i have to wonder whter some of it is staged, you know …to keep it interesting. Just sayin’.
Hmmm my gh rep.r stunning,they will definately go far.love em to the max.go gh rep.
I have doubts about all of these people’s age: Michael, Millicent, Mumbai, Nic, Nkuli, Miss P, Bernadina, Bhoke, Danny, Ernest, Felicia, Hanni, and Jossy. I thought age is a blessing, not a curse, so why are people fighting so hard to reduce their ages. I am blessed to be aging by the day, and feel proud about my age. If they are not lying about their ages, then they must be really concern because they have really look older than their ages.
Akua, this is USD200,00 we talking about here.Someone could even deny their mother because of it , how much more their age.Am sure all of them got a new birth certificate before the show.
*0
