Dene Jones and Mashel Say Goodbye to the Big Brother Mzansi House
Mashel and Dene Jones have been evicted from the Big Brother Mzansi house, making it a total of four housemates that have left the house so far. This follows the first big nomination for this season, which had 10 housemates up for eviction.
Mashel was the third housemate to be evicted from the house, saying that he expected it because of who he was close to in the house, (possibly referring to Ofentse who was evicted last week).
The fourth housemate to leave Biggie’s house was Dene Jones who said she was ‘shocked’ at her departure since she still had someone to kiss in the house … Tumi the Barber.
This past Friday on Spills with Biggie with host Naledi M, Yolanda (Big Brother Mzansi S’ya Mosha), Tsholofelo Moyo aka cartier_tsholo (digital creator) and Nombulelo Fox (film, TV, and entertainment Reviewer) accurately predicted that Mashel and Dene might be next to go home on Sunday 1 February.

All the other nominated housemates were safe, with Smash ending with a message from Biggie: “Housemates, you may now go back to your beds, but know that comfort is temporary and this week, lines will be drawn!”
This week, the house became a real-life version of the apps we live on. With the theme being Ama VIP, popularity became key, demonstrating that it not only determines who comes tops but that it influences privileges, relationships and who really runs the house for the week.
The past week in Big Brother’s house was both exciting and somewhat sombre when the housemate’s received punishment from Biggie. Neliswa scored herself a win for finishing the challenges at the Friday night arena games, securing a R10 000 win for herself. Those celebrations were, however, short-lived as Biggie warned the housemates about not taking the competition seriously and breaking the rules.
In this instance, only Dene Jones and Mshefane were the ones who were praised by Biggie for good behaviour. The notorious Thandeka received the toughest punishment which included being banned from the next HoH games and dressing as the “main character” until Biggie decides otherwise.
Housemates during their Wager | SUPPLIED
We saw the first wager loss for this season – unfortunately, the housemates wagered a full 100% on the outcome. They were dealt a blow when they lost and all the housemates admitted they did not work together, nor was it their best effort.
As a group punishment, Biggie closed all the bedrooms, including the HoH suite, so housemates had to sleep in the lounge. This was because of Biggie’s frustration arising from housemates challenging his authority and dragging their feet during tasks. The wager preparations were chaotic, and the housemates’ feelings often got in the way of teamwork.
This, however, did not deter the housemates from having the most fun during Saturday’s Chillers Party turnup with DJ Shaun101. Galxboy brought the drip and the housemates looked like real VIPs and had social media buzzing on who should be signed as an ambassador for the apparel brand.
