Big Brother Update: Outpour of emotions as housemates watch their families

After what seemed like a dull morning, Biggie shocked the housemates last Saturday when he announced that they all had messages from their family members and went ahead to play it for them.

Uganda’s Jannette and Kyle were the first to receive their message and they giggled and sobbed as they listened to their family members encourage and cheer them on. Tamara and Talia were next with their family members expressing how much they miss their culinary and dance skills, a statemnet which made the sisters go emotional.

Wati and Nafe from Malawi also went emotional when their family members expressed hopes in their winning powers. Alex and Malonza from Kenya were not left out in the emotional display as they listened to the voices of their family memebers.

In the Upville, Nigeria’s Goldie went hysterical, crawling and crying as she received messages from her family. Meanwhile, Lady May could not hold back her excitement as she screamed, jumped and danced as she listened to her family informing her that her late parents must be proud of her.

Junia cried and hugged the bar stool as she listened to her erstwhile partner, Jessica give her the much needed pep talk. Keitta almost kissed the screen when his girlfriend and erstwhile partner, Mildred appeared and said to him ‘I’m totally watching and I am proud of you’.

Keagan broke down and clinged to a towel as he watched his family members clear issues that have been bothering his mind. His mother reminded him to take care of his liver. Last on the list was Prezzo who saluted as the video played on but seemed disappointed as his daughter did not feature in the clip and sacarstically added, ‘Thanks for bringing my daughter to the shoot’.

This is the first time the house mates will be treated to such an experience since the game began on Sunday, May 6, 2012.
