Twists

edit

The Chamber

edit

On Day 1, six housemates Jenayne, Paris, Nku, Kgosi, Mbali and Iris (named Chambermates) entered in The Chamber.[1]

On Day 5, housemates currently on the Main House voted for who between the Chambermates they want to see in the Main House. The votes were later revealed at Day 7, during the live show.[2] It was revealed that Kgosi was chosen by the housemates to enter the Main House, with 7 votes.[3]

The public voted for who should also enter in the Main House, with the other 4 being evicted from the House. After Mbali was ejected, Iris, who got the most votes after Mbali, moved to the Main House, while Jenayne, Nku and Paris were evicted.[4][5]

Secrets

edit

Like in the Big Brother Australia 2012, females were called to the Parlour Room and had to correctly guess the all males' secrets.[6]

As they failed to guess the males' secrets, the males are all immune for nominations in Week 3.[7] On the next week, it the same twist happened, but this time it was the males that had to guess females' secrets. As they guessed wrong, all females won immunity.

Immunity challenges

edit

After the girls guessing wrongly male's secrets, all males won immunity. On Day 15, after winning a challenge, Jase and Lola won immunity from the nominations.[8] After that, all girls were put up for eviction, with exception of Iris (who was new in the House) and Lola (who won immunity). However, HoH Mzamo could save one of the girls, and replace her with a male. He chose to save Thando, and nominate MK in her place.[9]

On Week 4, it happened the same, but with an exception. After the boys guessing wrongly female's secrets, all females won immunity. On Day 22, after winning a challenge, Kat and Mandla won immunity from the nominations.[10] After that, all boys were put up for eviction, with exception of Mandla (who won immunity). However, HoH Jase could save one of the boys, and replace him with a female. He chose to save himself, and nominate Iris in his place.[11]

On Week 5, after the housemates nominated, it was held an immunity challenge. Mzamo and Lexi won it, and are the only saved housemates for the nominations.[12] Sol, as HoH, decided to sace Mandla and put Thando in his place.

On Week 6, Loko and Mandla won the immunity challenge after the nominations were held. Mzamo as HoH, saved Thando and nominated Sol in her place.

On Week 7, due to the Housemates breaking the no conspiracy rule, Big Brother decided to put up all Housemates for eviction.

On Week 8, Kat and Sol won the immunity challenge after the nominations were held. Because most Housemates are up for eviction, no Save and Replace session was held.

Guest Housemate

edit

On week 7, Emmett Blois, an ex-housemate from Big Brother Canada, entered the Big Brother Mzansi House with orders from Big Brother to "shake things up in the house". In an attempt to split-up the relationships, Emmett requested Big Brother to go on a date with the remaining female Housemates - Kat, Iris, Lexi and Loko - to which Big Brother approved. He also tried manipulating the male Housemates into thinking that the female Housemates were playing a game on them, however he was overheard by Loko. He also took part in that week's Task Presentation where Housemates had to dramatise a scene whereby the tour guides (Mandla and MK) showed the rest of the Housemates through Beautiful Mzansi. Blois also formed a close friendship with fellow-Housemate, MK. Emmett left the House the following Sunday and was interviewed by host, Lungile Radu. Viewers of Big Brother Mzansi nicknamed Blois, "White Chocolate."
