The Big Brother housemates will be acutely aware of the significance of the day when it dawns for the fourth time. They’ve put a massive 75% of their money on the success of their wager task, and based on their practice runs, not everyone thinks this was a good decision.

 

 

 

 
To be fair, a small percentage of spectators find the teamwork to be admirable and report feeling good afterwards.

However, history is not on the housemates’ side: in the past, a season’s first wager presentation has been overwhelmingly met with dissatisfaction, which makes the 75% wager appear that much more reckless. In the end, Biggie will decide the outcome. Losing is awful enough, but having to get back up after losing three quarters of your income is a very difficult task.

Mmeli will definitely feel the pressure in her role as head of house. His leadership was criticized by Blaqboi and Thabang yesterday, but he believed that micromanaging was outside the scope of his duties.

In truth, Mmeli has been a very relaxed head of house, frequently asserting that he doesn’t have the authority to lead people by the hand and instruct them on what to do and that they should instead use their common sense. While one might understand his stance, reality can show him to be a little too carefree. He was so at ease that he only cared to sit on the chair yesterday, and even then, only on Big Brother’s prodding.

As usual, there are a variety of viewpoints among the residents. Some people are obviously irritated by his laissez-faire approach, as was made evident during yesterday’s diary sessions, but others believe he’s handling things exactly fine. The outcome of the wager task will be crucial in resolving the conflict.
