Barbz, Maneta & Prezzo Up For Eviction

For some reason, Roki and Keitta dodged the Nominations dagger. Perhaps Keitta hasn’t stepped on any toes yet since he’s still pretty new in Upville but Roki has definitely rub some Upvillers the wrong way.
However, Roki’s been strategically planting stories amongst the Housemates, which led to them nominating each other and totally forgetting about him. Maneta got the highest Nominations (4) followed by Prezzo and Barbz who both got three Nominations, Goldie and Lady May both got two Nominations each.
This is how the Upvillers nominated:

BIG BROTHER STARGAME: Africa Upgrades Junia & Keagan to Upville + Jesica & Lee Evicted

blank
After Big Brother’s most gangsta week ever, two housemates were evicted and two housemates upgraded to Upville on Sunday night’s live Big Brother StarGame Eviction show (17 June, live on DStv Channel 197 & 198 at 20:00 CAT). Africa’s votes split South Africa’s Keagan & Lee and Namibia’s Jesica & Junia – upgrading Keagan & Junia to Upville and evicting Lee & Jesica from the game.
Junia and Keagan received the same number of country votes from Africa this week, resulting in their upgrade to Upville – and sending their partners packing.
Kenyan Afro-pop acoustic band Sauti Sol set the tone for a jam-packed eviction show with their hit ”Nairobi” while DJ Xclusive from Cool FM in Nigeria kept the beats flowing throughout.
First-up, IK gave viewers a reminder of the week that was. In Upville, the housemates were getting up to mischief and the pranks were flowing thick and fast. They won their wager, acing the Sprite Triple-Slam task which saw them pimp a scooter, play a basketball match as full of booty-shaking as it was of hoops, and rapping up a storm. Goldie picked up the Head of House title for the week by scooping more ice-cream in the task than any of her fellow housemates.
Things were just as ‘hip’ in Downville as they pimped a Mini, shot some hoops and went paint crazy to win their wager, with Wati beating the brain-freeze in the Head of House challenge to take the title this week.
With the reviews done, IK took viewers into Downville and chatted to the nominated pairs. He asked both duos to stand and after reminding them that Big Brother can mix the game up anyway he wants to, summoned Jesica and Junia to the stage.
The 9th couple to be evicted from Downville joined him and had a chat about their time in the house. IK teased Junia about her constant bickering with Keagan and asked her whether there was more to their relationship, but the Namibian simply said that irritating the South African had been fun. She also said that her relationship with Malonza, whom she had kissed, was strictly friendly and told IK that she had no beef with Janette, she just simply found her to be ‘too much’.
IK got the chance to quiz Jesica about her feelings for Luke, with the Namibian revealing that his charm had worked on her really fast and that her feelings for him were real. “Liberia, here I come!” she told the audience.
The Sizwe Ntsaluba Gobodo auditor joined the trio on stage and confirmed that results had been verified. IK told them that the viewers had decided to keep one of them in the game, meaning one of them would be heading home. After a tense pause, IK told them: “Junia, you’ve been awesome and the viewers have decided that you’re going to Upville. Jesica that means that you’re going home.” Junia entered a sombre Upville house, not knowing quite what to make of things! The VIP housemates played it cool, greeting her calmly until former Downville housemates Maneta and Keitta leapt out and hugged her.

The 30-year old has since been linked to local concerts times without number, though none has materialized until now .

Entertainer newspaper in a telephone conversation on June 1st.
Demarco (a.k.a Collin Edwards) was born on September 28, 1982 in St. Catherine, Jamaica.
