It has become so obvious that each time Big Brother announces the nominated housemates, Pokello always shouts her name knowing that Big Brother will call her out.

This week is Pokello’s fifth time up for eviction.

Housemates in the Rubies house have had enough of Pokello’s bossy attitude while some have figured that she is a strong contender considering that she has survived eviction four times.

Four housemates, Cleo (Zambia), Sulu (Zambia), Feza (Tanzania), and Oneal (Botswana) nominated Pokello.

Oneal said he nominated Pokello because “she felt she was an all-star” while Feza nominated her because “she instigated things in the house”.

Cleo nominated Pokello saying she was a strong character judging by the number of times Africa had saved her.

Sulu said he nominated Pokello because she was too much of herself.

Initially, Pokello and her love interest Elikem (Ghana) had received the highest number of nominations, but Elikem was saved by head of house and hence is no longer up for eviction this week.

Pokello is now up against strong contenders Angelo (South Africa) and Diamonds housemates’, Bassey (Sierra Leone), Annabel (Kenya) and Dillish (Namibia). Pokello’s chances of surviving eviction this week are shaky.

She was almost evicted on Sunday.

Pokello survived the eviction by a whisker as there was tie between her, Natasha and Cleo. They received two country votes each. The tie-breaking system was used resulting in Natasha’s eviction.

Zimbabwe and South Africa voted to keep Pokello in the game.

This Sunday though, chances are high that she will not get the South African vote as a South African housemate is also up for eviction.

She may just be lucky to get the usual Ghanaian vote because of her alliance with the Ghanaian housemate.

It remains to be seen if she will get the Nigerian vote this week after losing it last week.

Meanwhile, the two BBA Houses, the Diamond and Rubies, will merge this Friday with a new twist to the game.

Six fake housemates from an imaginary house, the Emerald House, will join The Chase during the Airtel Arena Showdown.

They will feature in the merged house for a few days to spice up the game.

The fake housemates will not be competing for the US$300 000 prize.

Their only objective is to confuse the other housemates and convince them that the Emerald house is real. The housemates are Sophie (Uganda); JJ (Zimbabwe); Jazz (Kenya); Busi (South Africa); Eveva (Zambia) and Alusa (Kenya).

One of the housemates, Eveva, made it clear to viewers during Sunday’s eviction show that her role in the game was to frustrate Pokello by taking away her love interest from Elikem.

Pokello has never taken it lightly when ladies play around her man.

Any lady who becomes too close to Elikem has always declared war with Pokello and the results have never been good.
