Ebhoke evicted

Lovebirds Bhoke and Ernest, fondly called Ebhoke by viewers, were both evicted from M-Net’s Big Brother Amplified at the last eviction show. Tanzania’s Bhoke was evicted first; and just when the Tails Housemates thought it was all over, Uganda’s Ernest was evicted minutes later.

Ernest had received six nominations from his Housemates, while Bhoke picked up three. Head of House Danny had saved Luclay, who had received five nominations, and put Miss P up for eviction in his place. When he was called on by IK to reveal his decision, Danny stood and told his Housemates: “It’s that time again; you know how tough it is, but this is a job I have to do,” he said. “I saved my boy Luclay and I replaced him with Miss P. You all know what I did, now it’s up to you.”

After Uganda’s Radio & Weasel had performed Everything I Do and Heart Attack, IK took viewers back into the House. After teasing the Housemates, he got down to business.

“Bhoke, please leave the House now,” he said, after a long pause. As she emerged on stage, IK told her that she had, in fact, been evicted from Big Brother Amplified.

“Do you think your relationship with Ernest might have affected the way you played the game?” he asked her. “Not really; I don’t think so, because I wasn’t playing a game. For me it was real,” she said.


“You and Ernest were real, or you being in the House?” he quizzed. “Both,” said the Tanzanian with a smile. When IK revealed who had nominated her, Bhoke said that Alex’s nomination hurt the most. “Because he was your boy, right?” asked IK. “I thought so!” said Bhoke.


She had her chance for a parting shot, though, by being given the opportunity to “Blow a Fuse ” — giving one of the remaining Housemates a punishment they have to keep up for one week. “One Housemate will prepare a hot drink for Big Brother every night after all the other Housemates have gone to bed. They must take it to the Chat Room and sing a lullaby for Big Brother. This Fuse will last until this time next week,” read IK. “Who is this Fuse going to?” he asked. After giving it some thought, Bhoke replied: “Ernest.” “What?!” shrieked the stunned Ugandan. When IK asked her why she had chosen to give him the punishment, she said “because I want him to remember me.”

IK then stunned viewers and Housemates alike by announcing that a second Housemate would be joining him on stage. “That person is: Ernest,” he told the Housemates. As Ernest emerged on stage, IK told him, “Just so there’s no uncertainty, and just so you are clear, you have been evicted from the Big Brother House,” he said. “How are you feeling right now?” “This is once-in-a-lifetime experience. It’s amazing; this is it!” exclaimed an ever-exuberant Ernest.
