On Sunday night 29-year Ugandan photographer and schmodel
Morris Mugisha was the seventh housemate to have the BB doors close behind him.
Up against Thami and invisible Hazel, Thami's ridiculous laugh couldn't save him and he was evicted by 8 country's to Thami's 5. Here's what he had to say when I demanded
our answers:
Tashi: Why do you think you were evicted?
Morris: I dunno, I think I saw it coming - first of all, I must tell you that I wasn't nominated for the last 10 weeks and I think that's amazing. Every other housemate's been nominated so everyone was waiting to nominate me so Africa could deal with me and indeed Africa dealt with me.
Tashi: You told KB you think Ricco's most deserving of the win - who do you think's the
least deserving?
Morris: I would say maybe Tawana, yeah Tawana. According to me - the only thing that's keeping her there is being Head of House - I don't think people have kind words for her. Once Africa doesn't have you - who has you man?
She's trying so hard to play the game, I think she's sweating from every pore in her body and basically that's not natural. I believe that anyone who's authentic and original - that seems to be Ricco and Hazel - they'll take the big prize.
Tashi: What's up with wearing sunglasses at night?
Morris: At night? Me?
Tashi: Yes.
Morris: I don't remember.*laughs*
Tashi: During the eviction shows and on Sunday night when you left.
Morris: I didn't even realise it was dark 'cos the house is lit all the time so I thought it was maybe still day time basically.
Tashi: When Johan was visiting - why were you so inhospitable to him?
Morris: I don't remember being inhospitable. I was just being myself.
Tashi: You kept disappearing - like not having a meal with them and just disappearing.
Morris: I remember I cooked his breakfast two days in a row and we chatted - why didn't you see that?
Tashi: Were you jealous of Munya going to Finland?
Morris: No way I wasn't, trust me I wasn't.
Tashi: You obviously would have liked to go though?
Morris: Yeah I would have loved to.
Tashi: Was reading the bible day and night your strategy?
Morris: It wasn't my strategy, it's my thing - it keeps me going through the day, it does, one of those things.
Tashi: Dressing up and applying make-up - was that your favourite aspect of BBA?
Morris: It wasn't really my favourite but it was one of those - I do like to look good you know.
Tashi: Yes we noticed how you sprang to life at the mere mention of such a task.
Morris: Yes.
Tashi: And the whole skirt wearing thing - do you like wearing skirts?
Morris: That was a wrap, Africans wear wraps - are you from Africa if I may ask?
Tashi: Yes I am.
Morris: In my culture we wear them - you know they're free, you breathe, every part of you breathes. While everyone else was colonially wearing pants and colonial regalia I decided to stick to my skirts.
Tashi: Now tell us more about your relationship with
Uti - we strongly suspect that there was a
lot more going on between you aka was your relationship platonic?
Morris: We were just friends, like honourable friends. He was a great guy I must admit. He was one of the best guys in the house, who confided in me - he was bright, intelligent, funny - he had all the qualities, it was one of the reasons I found him so easy to speak to, it's why people like you might think there was something more than friendship going on.
Tashi: Was it a man crush?
Morris: No it wasn't.
Tashi: Apart from Latoya making moves on you, you never made moves on any of the gals - why?
Morris: I just decided to be like that - I didn't see anyone to make a move on.
Tashi: Why did you enter the show?
Morris: You're asking me all these questions - if I hadn't entered you wouldn't be asking such questions.
Tashi: Exactly. What was the hardest part of it all?
Morris: The feelings of whether you're satisfying Africa or not.
Tashi: Why didn't you switch someone again the next time you were head of house? The switch you did between TK and Ricco was a highlight of the show. If you kept doing it I reckon you'd still be there.
Morris: *laughs* The next time I danced to the tune of my own mind and decided not to - I'm glad it was one of the highlights of the week.
Tashi: It was, especially when you suddenly changed your mind to do it - it would have been great if you'd kept doing it to mess with their minds.
Morris: I didn't think about it that way - if you were in my shoes you'd understand.
Tashi: When you went into the diary room and did it - had you considered it before?
Morris: It was an impromptu thing, like I told you I didn't have any plans, I didn't calculate any moves, I just went and danced to my tune, whatever came - it was determined how I felt in the moment and looked into my minds eye.
Tashi: Which task do you think showed your true talent?
Morris: The fitness task - that funny thing where we had to raise our hands and stand for an hour.
Tashi: What one word would you use to describe Munya?
Morris: He's a sly character. Sly.
Tashi: And Thami?
Morris: Witty.
Tashi: Tawana?
Morris: A fox.
Tashi: Hazel.
Morris: A mule - she's as obstinate as a mule.
Tashi: Ricco.
Morris: A savanna grassland - wherever the wind blows that's where he goes.
Tashi: What's the first thing you'll tell your daughter when you see her? What lessons did you learn in the house that you'll want to share with her?
Morris: She's still young I must tell you so there's almost nothing to tell her but I'll say that I've been away trying to find a life for us - me and you.
Tashi: And as she gets older?
Morris: There's so much with her, learning to have the gift of self control and being prayerful and standing up to your morals and having pride, principles, being a woman, fighting hard, striving, no matter what.
Tashi: Who will you stay in touch with after the show?
Morris: I'll stay in touch with
Uti, Shiela and Munya because we're in a similar profession.
Tashi: Is there anyone who's left the house that you think should still be there?
Morris: I think
Uti - the house would be a much better place.
Tashi: Who looks the best in the shower up close?
Morris: I don't know, I really can't tell you that - maybe me.
Tashi: Hehe - fair enough, fair enough (
realised he could have a point. If you're brave enough: click here to relive TK - bottom pic)
Tashi: Will you be watching the show?
Morris: Yes if I'm not busy I'll be watching.
Tashi: What are your plans for the future?
Morris: I don't know but whatever comes - if you have any jobs for me give me a buzz.
Tashi: Are there any questions we haven't asked that you think we should?
Morris: Well you haven't asked me where my talents lie?
Tashi: I suppose in a way with the task that showed your strengths but if that didn't cover it - where do they lie?
Morris: I won't hestitate telling you that I'm a photographer, I shoot documentaries as well, I'm a model, a ramp model and do TV commercials - I also do social work.
Tashi: You'll be going back to Uganda now?
Morris: Yes, I will I will - unless there's a reason for me to hang around in Johannesburg.
Tashi: When you came to do Big Brother - did you consider moving to South Africa or is Uganda the place you want to be?
Morris: I'd like to traverse the whole of Africa. I don't mind moving, personally I like being a nomadic - if you can move around for new pastures - why not?
