The Namibian's Jean Sutherland aka Meme J shares a special guest column with us that gives an update on what's been happening in the house this week. Stacks of thanks Meme'.

Ghost 5
ghost_2ghost_4

Eeeeeeeuw, there are spooks in the Big Brother Amplified house this week.

S’true! And I’m not talking about those housemates who don’t know how to spell entertainment. Or about those Spy vs Spy types beloved by intelligence agencies worldwide (yes, we know all about you!).

This week the Big-E, aka Biggie, the body-less voice that actually does have the power to spook housemates, has been entertaining ghostly fantasies.

The remaining 13 housemates - hmmmmm 13, how apt for a haunted house task - have to reinvent themselves as ghosts. Shouldn’t be too difficult for some of them who have less presence than … well even a ghost. Eish, talk about seeing dead people!

Anyway, housemates have to stay in character for two days and a night, without let-up.

Bernadina and Wendall have an unfair advantage. I mean their hair at the moment is enough to spook anyone. Talk about a bosberaad (indaba, or bush summit if you prefer!).

And heaven forbid if their two sets of hair decided to merge. It would all but take bush encroachment to new levels!! Send in the bush clearing team. Like already.

Alien Invaders

Then there’s Luclay, who’s already inhabiting some otherworldly space. Since the Tails and Heads houses merged, the South African seems to have got locked into a parallel universe, frozen between two realities.

Hella, who knows? Maybe his Al Pacino, ‘Scent of a Woman’, feel-my-rage persona has been abducted by aliens and is partying it up on a planet far, far away.

As for Vina and Sharon O! The two of them have the ability to scare the entertainment out of entertainment, as they ramble on endlessly about pedometers. Yes, pedo-meters. Believe it. Those little gadgets that measure how far you’ve walked, or run.

Have to give it to them, they had me screaming speedo and running meters away from my TV late on Monday night. Aikona!

Zim Vim

OK, while Berna and Wendie are all about hair today, and more tomorrow - ya’know, the prequel, the sequel and the follicle trilogy - more than a few fans already see Zimbabwe’s Vimbai as a vampire and have taken to calling her Vimpire.

I think it’s a bit unfair. True, Vimbai’s not everybody’s tin of vim and tends to have the same abrasive effect when it comes to rubbing people up the wrong way, but at least she’s upfront.

OK, upfront is possibly a bit of an affront. More like calling a spade a spade! The girl is blunter than a hammer.

And Vimbai’s ‘don’t shovel in my space’, go spade yourself, verbal volleys with Naija wild child Karen have fans across Africa spitting dirt. Much as I like Karen, she’s not a total innocent! She knows how to get Vimbai churning up the gravel!

As she herself told the Zim girl on Monday night as she tried to smooth things over, “I’m a player”. But she added sweetly, “I like to play … but mean no harm”.
This after the two had earlier engaged in a number of scare-the-pants-off-your-mother exchanges.

At one point, Vimbai told Karen basically go away, and to stop playing games “with me ’coz I’m not your friend”.

Karen is not one to take things lying down - except with her Motswana crush, Zeus, of course! - and let loose with a sharp retort about “skinny byatches”! Ouch. She also took a dig at Wendall, who Vimbai is more then a little ‘landgrabbish’ about. She said he can “take his virginity somewhere else”. Double ouch!!

As most fans know, Karen can get very playful around Wendall, who she’s nicknamed ‘Nibbles’. Needless to say, Vimbai is not amused.

Still, don’t think the Zimbabwean model has too much to worry about, even though Karen can be a handful. The only time WenDull’s come close to losing his virginity, in the house anyway, was when he all but humped the kitchen counter during the first week of the show. No paternity tests were needed!

So yeah peeps, it's another rollercoaster of a week. The housemates present the scary results of their task tonight (14 July).

<<As most fans know, Karen can get very playful around Wendall, who she’s nicknamed ‘Nibbles’. >>

Point of correction.  The Bore One came in with that nickname.  He explained in the chat room how he got the nickname when he was little.  I did not pay much attention because the chat session was just blah.

She does look like a vimpire at times.

Lol @Chix. @WSG he said he got the name when he was playing football with his elder brother and his elder brothers. Whenever they were playing, since he was the smallest of the group, he always tackled them so they reply by, "stop nibbling me". From then on, the name stuck...NIBBLES. Karen was just the first person in the house to use it....i think. @Meme you forgot to write Brat's other name Wesley Snipes

Thanks @WSG. My bad ... didn't pick that up .... And @Nonwe for the background! I don't want to end up like the News of the World LOL. Have to fess up that I quite like Vimbai, though she can pack a mean verbal punch on occasion. She reminds me a bit of Joan Collins – was it in 'Dallas'? ........................... Sadly for her, but not for @WSG, I think Bernadina's likely to hit the road tonight. Have a soft spot for her ... *ducking* ... There's something very honest about her, and she's really tried her best to enter into things, unlike our other housemate this year.

@MemeJ:  Likely?  I don't think so.  She is on her way.  Fact. Gone Bubba gone.  Thank you Lucy, Thank you!
