The die is cast as Big Brother StarGame enters next phase. On 1 July, Big Brother dropped the biggest bombshell of the show during the weekly live eviction show when he merged the Upville and Downville houses. And this is coming on the heels of Malawi’s Nafe and Zambia’sTamara being evicted from the show, while Wati and Talia upgraded to the Upville section of the house.

Show host, Nigeria’s I.K Osakioduwa had taken viewers into the Downville section of the house and asked the two nominated pair to stand, and immediately summoned Malawi’s Nafe and Wati to the stage. As they said their goodbyes, Kris MacCormack from Sierra Leone’s Capital Radio pumped some tunes before South African superstar Toya Delazy rocked the stage with her searing chart-topper Love Is In The Air.

After showing Nafe and Wati their highlights, IK invited them to take a seat on the edge of the stage. He then summoned Talia and Tamara from Downville and gave them a look back at their time on Big Brother StarGame.

The Sizwe Ntsaluba Gobodo auditor then handed over the verified results to IK and he called the Malawian duo back to join Talia and Tamara.

Nafe was first to be evicted, after receiving the fewest country votes from Africa this week. Next to leave was Tamara, leaving Talia and Wati on stage. IK revealed that Wati had received the second-highest number of votes from Africa – but then told both housemates that they would both be upgraded to Upville. As the duo made their way into the Upville house, viewers caught a peek at the remaining Downville housemates being led out of their garden.

Toya Delazy later returned to the stage to perform Pump It On as Africa pondered what Big Brother was up to. The Upville housemates were summoned to the garden and to their surprise, were greeted by a massive blue box with a flashing red button on a panel in front of it. The housemates excitedly pressed the button and waited to see what happened next. Slowly, a platform rose, revealing Kenya’s Malonza and Alex, and Uganda’s Kyle and Jannette.

Thus, all the remaining 12 housemates, over the next 33 days, will now compete for the $300,000 cash prize as individuals.
