In perhaps the most crucial ‘Save and Replace’ yet, Vina saved country mate Karen, automatically ensuring that she (Vina), Karen and Sharon O take their places in the Finals!

In one of the most crucial moves in the run-up to the Big Brother Amplified Finale, Vina chose to save fellow Naija girl Karen from possible Eviction and put Lomwe in her place on the Eviction gallows. This, in effect, means Sharon, Vina and Karen are automatically in the Big Brother Amplified finals.

You could cut the tension with a knife when the Housemates gathered in the lounge to hear who is up for possible Eviction this week. With only a week to go before the game comes to a close, why wouldn’t there be? In the build-up to the announcement, the House was eerily quiet, save for the clutter of pots courtesy of Vimbai, who was clearing the kitchen sink. When Big Brother finally put the Housemates out of their misery – or maybe not – the expressions on the Housemates faces were telling Millicent, Hanni and Kim tried to react calmly to their names being on the list of Nominees. However, you could see the uncertainty on their faces. Luclay disappeared into a couch with his back to the cameras, while Wendall looked around sheepishly. Vimbai could only complain about the Housemates names not being in alphabetical order. In the Chat Room, Vina rambled on about her reasons for her Save and Replace, but Big Brother’s strong hand ensured she give a name quickly. Vina obliged and put Lomwe up, giving Sharon O a first class ticket to the finals.

This means so far, three girls are closer than most to the USD 200 000!
