Shortly after Big Brother awarded Tayo his Star Gift, he announced this week’s nominations.
In case you missed it, here they are again in alphabetical order:

Alusa,Ellah,JJ,Laveda,M’am Bea, Macky2 and Permithias.Nhlanhla also received a nomination, but because he won the Head of House task earlier he was immune for the week. This meant that he was also allowed to put up a fellow housemate for eviction. After Big Brother read out the names, he called Nhlanhla to the diary room.

Once inside, Biggie reminded him that if he chose not to put up someone for eviction, he would be nominated himself, despite being Head of House.
Naturally Nhlanhla was not going to put himself up for eviction, so he decided to choose a fellow housemate. Big Brother gave him no time in the diary room, and demanded an answer immediately. Nhlanhla added Macky2 to the list.

Back in the living room, Ellah had already started campaigning for votes, telling Africa to vote for Team Ellah. The rest of the nominees remained mute, mulling over the implications for the end of the week.

Nhlanhla was called back into the dairy room where Biggie told him there was a surprise waiting for him in the storeroom. The rest of the housemates tried to keep their mind off the nominations by delving into their task preparation, sharing their designs with the other housemates.

In the store room, Nhlanhla received a gift of champagne. Along with the chocolates from Tayo’s gift the housemates had enough with which to drown their worries. Who do you think will go home at the end of the week?
