Live show 9: It's lights out on Young Pappi – BBMzansi

Young Pappi had a full journey into the top nine, but it all came to an end tonight when he was evicted from the Big Brother Mzansi house. His eviction concludes a week of jaw dropping plot twists that saw two housemates exit the house during the week. Young Pappi may have been the only housemate to be evicted tonight, but his journey in the house was far from a solo one. He found companionship in the special friendship he formed with Zee. The two were inseperable, even after he compromised their friendship by kissing Liema. That was quickly settled and the friendship grew stronger.

Watch Young Pappi apologise to Zee: 

Young Pappi joined Lawrence for a brief interview and emphasised the nature of his relationship with Zee. The status? Friendship. When asked about who he would like to win the show, he said he is not rooting for any ladies because the show has been won be women in recent years. Like all live shows go, the evicted housemate is given an opportunity to throw a dagger at any of the remaining housemates, and Young Pappi threw one at his bestie, Zee, and told her that "it's all love".

Day 8: Jareed, Sinaye and Young Pappi's impending love triangles – BBMzansi

The live eviction show featured a special guest who evicted herself in the Fate Room, Lerato Modise. Her journey came to an abrupt end when she spun the wheel and landed on "eviction" following the nominations on Monday night. She joined Lawrence on stage where she shared her strategy. She told Lawrence that she had to put her real self aside upon entry into the house and adopt a persona that allowed her to be the channel through which the activities of "children" (housemates) could be shown. Her identity "Miss Robot" was stripped and, as a part of her greater game, the woman we experienced was a version that was far removed from who she is. As a conclusion to that very game, Lerato Modise threw a dagger at PapaGhost as her birthday gift to the man she now refers to as "homie".

It would not be a live eviction show without some shaking of tables. Lawrence asked Mpumi why she felt that Liema is not the most talented housemate as PapaGhost claimed. She said that she believes the housemates are equally talented, and while Liema may be gifted vocally, but that does not outweigh the other talents in the house.
