It was the end of the road for Kenya in Big Brother Africa 9 as the country's last hotshot Alusa got a surprise boot out of the house.
It was the end of the road for Kenya in Big Brother Africa 9 as the country’s last hotshot Alusa got a surprise boot out of the house.
It was a shocker as the show presenter IK announced that there will be second housemate to be evicted because there was a tie as 3 housemates’ bagged one country vote each, which meant that Biggie had to invoke the tie breaker rule.
This meant that Biggie had to turn to the person who bagged the lowest percentage of votes and Alusa came after Laveda and Namibia’s Permithias. It is the same rule which saw Sabina leave, which technically means that a small number of Kenyans vote.
Also the fact that Laveda bagged the least number of votes means that East African’s do not vote in big numbers as South or West Africa does.
According to the Big Brother Africa rules; "if the Popularity vote does not yield clear evictees and there is a deadlock between two or more housemates, the percentage vote from each of the 15 regions will be added together and divided by 14 in order to generate an across the board percentage, which will then ascertain who stays and who goes.”
Laveda became the sixth girl to leave the show while Alusa was the first guy to be booted out as IK complained to Africa that they are removing girls only leaving only males.
Zambia’s Macky2, who is most likely back on the chopping board, bagged the highest number of country votes with Botswana, Malawi, Rest of Africa and Zambia voting for him.
Zimbabwe’s JJ got Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe country votes while Ghana’s Mam’Bea got votes from Ghana and Nigeria. Rwanda joined forces with Uganda to save Ellah.
This week, our very own Frankie is safe having emerged on the winning side of the extravaganza while Arthur will know his fate after the head of house task. Keep voting our boys Frankie and Arthur to walk away with the grand prize come December 7.
