Host of the show, IK Osakioduwa, at the eviction show held over the weekend, told all the housemates that they were put for eviction this week, but unknown to them, it is a prank played on them by the organisers of the programme.

IK told viewers that this was just to create tension in the house. The contestants were also informed that past contestants and winners of the show would join them in the house to compete for the star prize.

Shortly after the duo of Mr. 265 (Malawi) and Samantha (South Africa) were evicted from the show, the remaining 12 housemates were paired with the old contestants from different seasons of the show.

The returning housemate were matched with the current contestants in the following pattern: Idris vs Feza from BBA: The Chase; Macky2 vs Sulu from BBA: the Chase; Goitse & Sheillah vs Miss P from BBA Amplified; Sipe vs Natasha from BBA: The Chase; Tayo vs Uti from BBA 3 & All Stars; JJ & Butterphly vs Vimbai from BBA Amplified; M’am Bea vs Elikem from BBA: The Chase; Ellah vs Denzel from BBA: The Chase; Trezagah vs Leonel from BBA Revolution and Nhlanhla vs Luclay from BBA Amplified.
