Well, for Uganda, at least. The second and only remaining Ugandan housemate, Isaac Lugudde Katwe, was evicted last Sunday, and I finally handed over the remote control to the powers that be and shifted my TV pillow back to the bedroom. Judge me all you want, but I was so addicted to this year’s edition of Big Brother Africa, The Chase. It came with many twists and interesting characters, including the Ugandan Charles Denzel Mwiyeretsi, whom I had hoped would walk away with the money, given how different he was. I know, I know… I have heard about the ‘all-seeing eye’ and ‘Illuminati’ stuff, but that did not stop me from finding the show immensely entertaining. I would promise myself, “no more Big Brother, Malita. Time to pray and meditate on the Word”, but the moment I came home from work and saw the TV remote, I would hit 198 as if by reflex, “just to see the updates and move on to more important things”. But before I knew it, it would be several hours and I was still glued to that show… Well, I hereby testify that the good Lord has cured me of my BBA addiction, thanks to both Ugandans getting evicted. Maybe like me, there were other people out there who were wasting precious time they would otherwise have spent praying, preaching the Word or edifying someone, lapping up every meaningless word from the 28 African contestants’ mouths. Ah! God works in mysterious ways – don’t laugh – because I have not as much as glanced in the direction of the show since Uganda crashed out. Somebody say, hallelujah! source Connect with Big Brother Africa fans across Africa and the world on our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter for all the latest updates!
