The mood in the house was somber last night as hotshots talked about parenthood and other issues surrounding them. The eight finalists discussed what they thought their children would look like as grown-ups. The jazz started when Tanzanian representative Idris said his parents did the best to raise him well but he’s not perfect. Is there another Biggie in the house. It then changed to having their own children and some of them shared how they were looking forward to being great parents. Idris vowed to be a strict dad and that he wouldn’t give his children so much freedom. Zimbabwean beauty Butterphly, who is already a mother of two, looked on and offered some parenting tips to the future parents. Her country mate JJ said his children would be bright, multi-lingual and know all about politics and spend a little time watching television. Nhlanhla from South Africa said his children would know at least five languages by seven years. Sheilah from Botswana and Mozambican rapper Trezagah didn’t make it to the finals. It seems we are into so many surprises this week. Biggie has introduced a task called “Crazy Characters” that will see housemates mimicking the ex-housemates. In character Biggie has also introduced a new task that revolves around creating sculptures and reminiscing about the Extravaganza themes they had covered in the past few weeks. He provided eight boxes, and inside each box were items linked with one of the weeks they had spent in the house. Each housemate had to choose a box and once they had done this, had to open them together, and were not allowed to swap. Their task involved building a 3-D sculpture or model out of the items they found inside. This has to be an artistic representation of their memories of that particular week. Biggie would provide the housemates with a display stand for their art piece, which would also have to be painted and decorated in an original style which complemented the relevant theme. The task must be completed and presented on Friday. Soon after they had received this task they had to present the creative outline for their final Extravaganza. They were reminded that the Extranganza had to showcase their unique talents, as well as incorporate newly-acquired skills, for a show which would be entitled: The Big Brother Hotshots’ Journey. This is going to be some good fun and laughs.
