Richard put another kind of flames in the penthouse when he reduced Tatiana to tears by simply saying “I have to. I can’t hurt her so much.” Well, we all know who “her” is. But, why now? Why does he see that he hurts “her” only now? When he has done so much. Already. What happened that made him remember his vows?
He slightly redeemed himself in my eyes. He seemed sincere as he broke Tatiana’s world apart. Has he been thinking about “her”? Did his actions warrant the money he might win? Has the realization that soon him and his close housemates may have to start nominating each other out caused him to mend his ways? Has the realization that he might be the first one to be evicted if his name comes up made him think about the outside world?
He kept contradicting himself though – I don’t know how I would have felt as Tatiana when someone talks about “her” then looks me in the eye and says “I love you. But I’ve got someone else”. What does that mean? That he loves us both and can’t decide who to go for? What do you do? Do you try harder to make him forget “her”? Do you promise the world to him and a better life? Do you say “I’ll be your second wife. Maybe Polygamy is accepted in your country.” Has anyone been in this situation? Please tell us what you did.
Will Ricki forgive him? Women are amazing people – they will find a man in bed with their best friend and even sister and they will take him back. A woman will suffer the pain and humiliation and still love, respect and take care of her man. When the tables are turned, men would ridicule their woman so much that EVERYONE will know what a ho she is. Why?
I hope Richard and Ricki can get through this but like I said in a previous article – They remind me of the movie “Indecent Proposal”. The man could not forgive his wife even though they had agreed she would sleep with a rich man for a million dollars. He was tortured by the happenings of that night. Well, even if the marriage may not work out – they can at least remain friends.
Richard really knows how to break up – Take notes but I except no responsibility if someone kicks you’re a$$ when you do this!
Put some soft music – John Legend serenading you to “where did my baby go?” Get some wine/beer for your partner then…
Say a very serious statement: “I have to. I cant’ hurt her anymore”
Tell the person you are breaking up with you love them “I love you, but I have someone else”
Throw in a joke “That pork is ready. That pig is ready to be eaten” “Let’s have a good time!”
Then go back to being serious “I have to go back home. My wife is there.”
Then start the jokes again ”Hey! Your wine!? Take a sip! Good girl!” (As if nothing out of the ordinary is happening)
The serious again “I’m serious. I’m going home. Ya, I mean it! Do you know what my wife has been through? I don’t wanna put her through this anymore”
Then start dancing to the music, sing to her “I love you too, honey. I love you much more”…
It was really sad to see Tatiana going through this. I felt really bad for her. I would not have survived what she endured last night.
For Tatiana, I think she will get through this. But had she not thought of Ricki? At all? Had she thought Richard was her’s for the taking? TKO, done!? She is what I call an “ou toppie” that has seen it all – O di bone ngwanyana o!! Kgale a di dira! (She has seen/done too much in life.) She will get back to life and live it – even maybe forget about Richard. But well, RiTa can surprise me and get married and have children together…
Anyways, Richard says he has to leave – Is he asking us to vote him out or is he going to ask Biggie to leave. What are the rules on that? Can a housemate just ask to go?
