Question: Does Jannette Have A Drinking Problem?

Wed, 27 Jun 2012 

Whenever there is alcohol in the Big Brother House, you can bet your bottom dollar that a tipsy Jannette is stumbling somewhere nearby.

This evening Talia had to come to the aid of the pint sized lass when she fell to the ground and need to be helped back up on her feet. After that she limped to the bathroom before returning once again to continue boozing further.

Since the very beginning of this season of Big Brother Africa, the StarGame viewers have been privy to the Ugandan’s drunken fuelled anticsweek after week. Her boozed fuelled misadventures often involve her throwing herself at the men in the House, she has tried her luckwith both of the Kenyan brothers Alex and Malonza before trying to sink her claws into Wati. Her resistance to just quit drinking when she has had enough has landed her in hot water with some of her fellow StarGamers including getting into a fight with Jesica.

In the past the Ugandan has confessed that she has issues with insecurity and this might be a possible explanation as to why she drinks so much. When Jannette is sober, she is usually shy and soft-spoken whereas when she is drunk she is breaks out of her shell and is unruly and unashamedly provocative.

On the other hand she is still young and many young people do like to party hard and have fun. But when someone repeatedly acts out whenever they are drunk that is when it starts being a problem.

So this begs the question how much is too much? Is Jannette just a fun party girl or is her drinking actually part of her deep seated issues?

News: A Clucking Good Time

Wed, 27 Jun 2012 21:55

The sounds of clucking echoed throughout Downville this evening. Was this part of some elaborate prank by Big Brother which included letting loose farm animals inside the House? Nope, it is actually the rowdy Housemates of Downville enjoying a fun night of hard drinking.

The Downvillers have spent the evening gathered in the kitchen playing drinking games together. One of the games that the Housemates played involved all of them having to get up off their seats and make a circle around their eyes with their fingers while taking turns to cluck like chickens and the person that misses their turn to cluck or clucks when someone else is supposed to, has to down a shot.

The other game that they played called upon one Housemate to start a sentence with the words: “A ship came in …” Clearly the increasing amounts of alcohol in their systems has made the StarGamers become nostalgic as halfway through the evening they starting making toasts to their exited Housemates. “A ship came in with 28 awesome Housemates. A toast to each of them starting with Ola,” said Jannette. Talia followed up with a toast to her man Seydou.

For the rest of the night the Housemates have been laughing and having good time while enjoying their games. How amusing are these Downvillers, you can always count on them to make their own fun.

News: What’s Eating Prezzo?

Wed, 27 Jun 2012 20:25

While the other tipsy Housemates of Upville have been in high spirits, for most of the evening Prezzo has been like a wet blanket.

When an energetic Keitta got up and started singing merrily, the Kenyan kept on interjecting to correct the Ghanaian on the lyrics. The more Keitta tried to enjoy himself and sing care freely the more the rapper became visibly irritated and sniped at him, “If you don’t know the lyrics then just let it go.” Jeez, Prezzo it's not that serious just let the boy have fun.

This was not the first snarky comment that Prezzo fired in Keitta’s direction today. The Kenyan also nit-picked at the Ghanaian’s accent and he kept on calling him a foolish boy, it could be that the rapper was joking but from the emotionless look on his face it did not seem like it. Fortunately the peace-loving Keitta has chosen to pay no attention to these comments and rather just laugh it off.

Prezzo is usually someone that enjoys storytelling and joking around but for most of this evening he has had little to say, choosing rather to just keep drinking. Even when jokes were being cracked he barely even managed to muster a smile. Even as Keagan let out his inner prankster earlier on the rapper did not even bat an eyelid.

Could yesterday's fight with Goldie be the reason that Prezzo is in a funk today?

News: Keagan The Jokester

Tue, 26 Jun 2012 19:15

As the saying goes a leopard can never change its spots and finally today Keagan proved this saying to be true.

The once undisputed champion of mischief in Downville has been way too cool, calm and collected since moving into Upville. But finally this evening the StarGame viewers got to see a glimpse of the fun Keagan of days gone by. As the VIP Housemates sat leisurely in the lounge, the South African got up and crept over to the bathroom while Junia was in the shower.

He turned to Goldie and said: “I am doing this for you,” with a naughty grin on his face. Leaning against the bathroom door, the humorous Upviller then let out a loud roar which startled the Namibian and she screamed with fright she shouted out at Keitta thinking it was him that gave her a fright. The jolly Ghanaian lad was tickled pink by this little gag and could not contain his laughter.

A little while afterwards Junia walked out of the bathroom and joined the rest of the Upvillers in the lounge and Keagan started playfully hitting her over the head with a cushion and the two had a mini pillow fight. As much as growth and maturity are important qualities it is great to see that the Upville cutie has not totally let go of fun side.

Diary Room: Booze and Relationships

Tue, 26 Jun 2012 

Jannette and Tamara are finally on good terms, while Talia on the other hand, is concerned about Wati’s drinking.

After starting off on the wrong footing, Jannette and Tamara have finally buried the hatchet. In her Diary Session this afternoon, Jannette sangTamara's praises. "Tamara and I are close now. I think she's a very nice girl. We had our issues in the beginning, but we're way past that now," she said. Jannette also lamented the fact that the Zambian sisters are up for possible Eviction. "I am going to cry for them. Talia is great too and I would like to continue our friendship outside the House," she said.

When Jannette went into detail about her friendships with the boys in the House, there was only one person Kyle was interested in hearing about; Malonza. Jannette seemed a tad jumpy when the Kenyan Housemate was mentioned. Could it have anything to do with the two sharing a bed last night?

In her Diary Session, Talia expressed her concern at Wati's drinking. "I'm scared Wati's drinking could affect the Task adversely. When he’s intoxicated, he’s uncontrollable. Alex is a problem too when he's drunk," she said. Tamara told Big Brother how concerned she is at the amount of alcohol that is in the house.

"Everyone has a bottle to themselves. There is just too much booze in the House," she said.
