Kenya's Big Brother Africa Stargame representatives Prezzo and Alex, could be on their way home this Sunday after their names popped up in the Monday nomination show.

Others on the nomination list include Ghana's Keita, Namibia's Lady May and Malawi's Wati.

However, the original nomination list had South Africa's Keagan on it, and not Keita. But this week's head of house Kyle from Uganda was given a chance to save one nominated housemate and replace with another. Kyle replaced Keagan with Keita.

Having being nominated six times, Prezzo had the highest number of nominations, followed by Lady May with five nominations. The rest of the nominees had two each.
For the second week in a row, Kenya's Alex nominated Prezzo for eviction this Sunday.

On Sunday Prezzo was second time lucky after he escaped eviction from the TV reality show.

Prezzo was in the nomination list together with Nigeria’s Goldie, Namibia’s Lady May and Uganda’s Kyle, and were all up for possible eviction during the Sunday night live eviction show.

However, his very close friend in the house Goldie, was not lucky as she was sent home in an emotional show.

Uganda’s Kyle did not know that he was on the nomination list until it was announced to him just a few minutes before the eviction show, by head of house, South Africa’s Keagan.

As head of house, Keagan had the privilege of saving himself since he had been nominated, and did exactly that, replacing himself with Kyle.

Live eviction show host IK first told Kyle and Lady May that they were safe. He was left with Prezzo and Goldie. He asked the two “love birds” if they would give up the show and make a voluntary exit for one another.

Even though they were both not in talking terms at the time — Goldie and Prezzo had fought over a lost ring belonging to Prezzo earlier on in the day — they both said agreed that they would give up the show.

However, voters across Africa had decided that Goldie had the least number of votes, leading to her eviction.While on stage with host IK, Goldie said that she did her best in the house.

“Nobody should look at me as a disappointment to my country, I did my best to represent it fully,” she said.

Falling in love

Asked why she had fallen in love with Prezzo, even though she had said that she wouldn’t have any love relationship in the house at the beginning of the show, Goldie said that sometimes things change.

“Sometimes people meet people and they fall in love. It’s not that I had planned that, it just happened and I cared about Prezzo so much,” she said as she made her emotional exit.

At some point, Goldie broke down in tears when she realised that among the people who voted her out was Ghanaian contestant Keitta.

“I thought Keitta was my fellow West African and we had an understanding. I’m shocked he voted me out,” explained Goldie when asked why she broke down.
