Kampala — Anyone seen Sheila? Of course not in the Big Brother house. I was just wondering if anyone saw her walking down some road in Kenya so they could tell me how gone she looked.
We did good, people. That smoke-spewing tomboy, who has been tormenting Morris in the Big Brother house just sunk on Sunday.
She can now go swear in Kenya. Man, I didn't know an average human being could swear as much.
And can you imagine she is supposed to be a television reporter back home? I wonder how many times she has sworn on national television.
Well, on Sunday night, Tawana, Ricco and Hazel were saved. The viewers, in an overwhelming thrash, voted out Sheila, making her the fourth housemate to be evicted from the M-Net reality show after Latoya, Lucille and Uti.
Of the twelve countries taking part in the show, nine voted her out. She also got the tenth vote from the other countries not represented in the house.
When named the evictee, she did not know what hit her. She thought she was 'deep waters' in the eyes of the viewers. She exclaimed, "Ah! What did I do, Africa? It seems you people didn't vote." Then she came out of the house and told show host KB: "The hot babes, Lucille and I, are out." Then she went on, "I am definitely a better contender than some of the people left in the house." Oh, really?
She even refused to shake hands with her fans and just ran straight to her mother. She must have felt so alienated.
Only TK missed her. Poor Zambian, who had a one-way romance with the Kenyan, went to bed and cried like a baby upon Sheila's eviction. Outside, Sheila told viewers she did not have any feelings for TK and that she was just spending time with him.
How could Mr. Slow Motion have not sensed that? He even thought Biggie uses a psychologist to come up with the questions he asks housemates. To TK, asking a follow-up question based on the interviewee's answer, is rocket science.
No wonder he made it to the list of possible evictees for the fourth time. But we cannot evict him or Thami yet. These two are not threats. But Mimi is, especially because she is waiting for Morris to lose the head of house task so she nominates him.
Since the Ghanaian is also on the list, just type 'Vote Mimi' and send the message to 6626 across networks. That way, we bring Morris closer to winning the sh170m jackpot.
Meanwhile, the theme in the house this week is Unity: Taking Action Against Poverty. Housemates are composing a song to coincide with the UN Stand Up Against Poverty week. Look out for their presentation tomorrow.
