The game started with an unprecedented 26 housemates. They were divided into the two separate houses �The Heads� and �The Tails�.

He first spoke to Lomwe and asked him who was his true love in the house. Lomwe said he put up his feelings to Hanni and left Hanni to decide whiles Hanni said Lomwe was a nice and cool guy.

Vina told IK that having been put up for eviction three times and survived was her biggest challenge in the house but she enjoyed herself.

�The game didn�t changed me it but made me more matured,� Kim said.

Millicent said she went in the game because of the fact that winners are always go-getters.

�Everybody had a negative perception about me in the "Tails" house and it really broke me down�. She said she really connected with Sharon O, Michael and Karen.

It was now time for serious business and IK crossed over to the House. The first to be evicted from the final seven was Vina. she cried on stage when she saw her relatives in the crowd. Hanni was the second to be evicted and when was called to come on stage she covered herself with a big Ethiopian flag inspite of her hot sexy dress.

The housemates were now narrowed down to the top 5: Lomwe, Wendall, Sharon O, Luclay and Karen and they were all asked to leave the house and come on stage. IK had a quick chat with the top 5 - starting Wendall �I didn�t have any strategy - sleeping hours and working out was the most challenging moments in the house�. IK asked Sharon O to tell Africa what she felt for Michael and she said �He was just a friend and I really miss him�.

Karen, on her part, fumbled and struggled with IK for the microphone when asked what was her most challenging moment in the house.

�The most challenging thing for me was to live with different people from different countries in the same house for several days�.

On his part, Lomwe said �I was myself from the beginning� asked what is next for him after BBA; Lomwe said �I can�t wait to meet my family and pop bottles�.
