Though it was hard to believe at first, Tanzania’s Hilda and Julio as well as Teclar and Menata from Zimbabwe eventually came up for first eviction.
Tanzanian’s Julio expressed his displeasure saying “It’s unfair, we’re just getting acquainted”. However, Nigerian Housemate, Chris wasted no time in “laying his hands” on Teclar to try and calm her down while the other Housemates perked out laughing at how hilarious he was going about it. BBA
