I am all for solidarity, especially when the demands are for basic human rights. BUT when the failures go on a hungry strike and eventually have security as hostages and the real brada voice back, the situation is serious. 

The failures started running out of food on Friday, during their diary sessions they all made a request for food but they were given alcohol later in the evening. Eventually on Saturday afternoon, their anger boils over and they toyi-toyi. They are ignored by Ntsoaki. They decide to go on a strike after being starved and ignored when they requested food. 

They eventually force the diary room door open, they cover the glasses and demand to be given food or they are not entertaining the ADDICTS. They are ignored for approximately 4 hours. At this point the situation was becoming desperate. 


covering the camaras

Our resident motormouth Mda-she-she was as quite as an amoeba, our umakoti (Jen) was now the yapping queen, our slightly healthy failures NGO/Shebeen Queen Psaloma and taxi owner Sibiya Sammy were concerned that Africa was being misrepresented as the entire world knows that Africans starve and hunger is a big issue. 

Eventually Ntsoaki, sounding like a broken record keeps calling Sluttyana to the diary room whom was already in the diary room with all the failures. Ntsoaki sends in security to stop the now irate failures. The 3 men sent in looked like scared little mice as 2stamza Lerato promised them in Zulu that they will not be hurt. The security was eventually held as hostage. AT this point, the failures were really angry and reminding each other of the contracts they signed for the show. They agreed that nothing about hunger was stated on their contracts.

the hostages

Voila, a lovely male voice boomed over the speakers “This is big brother. Please let the security come to the diary room so I can listen to your grievances”. I wanted to jump for joy. As rainbowjnb said on the daily thread “Ntsoaki must have run out of the studio in tears”. I, at this point, was so happy; I was praying she had quit the show like Visagie exited the e-tv studios. 


hostages being set free

The failures allowed the meek security to go and Sluttyana as HOH states their case. They wanted food. They were hungry. They will entertain ADDICTS when they have food. Biggie asked them to show them what they have because he consulted with nutritionists and dieticians before stocking up their food supply for this week. They are only allowed to stock up once a week, on Mondays. I was thinking; "just don’t pay IK and sidekick tomorrow and buy these failures pizza hau!" Biggie responds to them that they will shop on Monday. LOL! 

The failures brought out what they had left – an unidentified flour-looking stuff in an unlabeled container, oats, half-cooked pumpkin and rice, chopped cabbage, weetbix, cereal, coffee and tea. Biggie insisted that they were given their ration for the week and abused it. 

The failures walked outside with uMakoti shouting “Daddy, come get me” and started attempting to vandalise the doors that lead to their freedom. The big male voice kept booming out “This is big brother. Big Brother is working to resolve the issue and would appreciate your co-operation. Please return to the lounge immediately.” The failures were almost pulling the doors off their hinges at that point. 


what was left

The addicts were left watching the door leading to the garden for a good 12 minutes. The failures returned very content. They settled into the lounge – 10 minutes later, the booming male voice announced that the store room will be open soon. 3 minutes later, the ADDICTS were shown the contents of the store-room as it’s filled to capacity with food! 2 minutes later, Ntsoaki’s voice announced that the store-room is open. *sigh*

The failures strolled to the store-room, the only appreciative one Mzaphapha DHC Uti screamed a "thank you" as the rest were just chucking the stuff out. Pathetic Munya screamed “condoms!! hahahaha”. uMakoti Jen and Playmate Meryl were seen bending over the alcohol. Interesting how uMakoti was very vocal during the hunger strike about food but noticed the alcohol and carried it out first when the food arrives.

After taking everything out the store-room, NO-ONE BOTHERED TO PUT A POT ON THE STOVE… they all took a bottle of alcohol and were led into a toast by the Shebeen Queen Psaloma “To all of us, failures!” Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! They also refer to themselves as failures. 

The strike was over after 7 hours. 

Even if this may have been a horrible experience to the failures, the ADDICTS were thouroughly entertained. I was very proud of my contribution – my dstv subscription payment. THIS WAS THE REAL REALITY TV!!!!!

Ha - all they wanted the booze obviously - and to prove a point: that Big Brother is now at their mercy, bwahahahaha.

She, who became He, first gave into Mwisho's refusal to nominate; and now this - it's set a precedent bigtime.

The only person I spotted eating after it all was clean-smellington who guzzled a too-green apple.

I was disgusted by lack of variety and choice in their cupboards these are adults who some of them run own households and eat what they like when they want.unpopular foods like cabbage weetbix,oats should be optional and not what adults are expected to eat.How many times have you chopped cabbage and ate oats in yo own house ADDICT?where are takeouts on weekends and good quality booze.these are not tertiary kidneys to survive on cereals .to hell with the bloody nutritionist recommending balanced diets blah-blah they did not sign up for a weightloss programme.this is reality people dont eat healthy in their houses why must diets be shoved down their throats by TV

I totally loved it...it brought a new edge on the show.  Pushing people BB/HM/ADDICTS.  

My only wish now, now serious hookups, they can use the condoms to their heart's content buy no girlfriend/boyfriend business.  It makes the show boring!

7 days and I'm enjoying myself totally ... except for IK and Ntsoaki of course.  PATHETIC should be IK's new name.

In Africa where a fair number of families starve, we have 14 greedy people who make noise about 'replenishments' for luxuries. Entertainment value was there in the whole thing but on the other side; a more heart warming story could've been told if they had gone on a hunger strike demanding Biggie to donate something to the community. How does MNET give back vele?

uummm, i would not expect them to go on hunger strike to prompt biggie to donate to the needy; surely are not in the house to be hunger ambassadors?
i feel they were within their rights and that made for very good entertainment.
