On Sunday, 23rd August, Big brother issued strikes to four of the lockdown housemates for flouting the house rules.

Big brother went on a vacation on the 17th of August, upon his return on Sunday things got heated up.

The housemates were really excited to have him back, after they all gathered in the lounge, Big brother played some clips from the week and past week of housemates flouting the house rule.

Big brother gave Erica and Ozo one strike each for whispering and using code to communicate.

He also gave one strike each to Kiddwaya, Tolanibaj and Erica for breaking the HOH lounge rules.

After Kiddwaya emerged winner in the last week head of house challenge, Big brother announced that both the head of house and Deputy are allowed to bring one visitor each into the HOH lounge.

Kiddwaya picked Erica while Tolanibaj who is the deputy picked Prince.

However, the HoH and his deputy defaulted in the rule. While Erica, Kiddwaya’s guest, slept in the lounge till 3am on Saturday, Tolanibaj slept outside the lounge and slept on Prince’s bed.

Despite the warning strikes, big brother punished all the housemates.

Erica and Tolanibaj were barred from participating in the HOH challenge for one week and are also not eligible to be selected as deputy. This  means they are automatically up for eviction.

Kiddwaya was barred from the HOH challenged for two weeks and also not eligible to be selected as Deputy head of house.

He is automatically up for  eviction for 3 weeks since he is  not eligible this week as the current head of house.

Big Brother also punished all the housemates for their unruly behavior while he was away.

He said for the next few days, hot water will not be available for them and forbids them from using any of the kitchen utensils to boil water.

Praise also lost his right to be pampered after he won last Friday’s arena games.

Ozo, Kiddwaya and Tolanibaj has one strike each, if they get two more, they will be disqualified from the game.

Erica has two strikes ,just one more from being disqualified from the big brother house.
