"There is major breaking news in the Big Brother Africa All Stars House Saturday after housemates went on the rampage taking security guards hostage and holing up in the diary room.

It all started two days ago when housemates expressed concern to BB about the shortage of food in the house. BB countered that he had provided adequate food to last a week and that the housemates had not economized correctly. By this morning all that was left was tea, powdered milk, leftover cabbage and pumpkin and scraps of pasta and rice.

By Saturday afternoon the housemates had reached breaking point and went on strike. Not imitation or put on strike but the real deal with tension growing by the minute. They went into the diary room and covered the cameras with sheets and began a standoff with BB.

BB eventually sent in 3 security guards to maintain order in the house. After not receiving a satisfactory response from BB they took the guards hostage and refused to release them when requested to do so.

More alarming for BB was that they tried to break down the doors in order to leave the house completely.

After a 5 hour standoff BB called the Head of House, Tatiana to the Diary room to discuss their grievances. The housemates refused and insisted that BB speak to them as a collective group. BB insisted that they release the hostages which they then did.

When BB asked them to produce what food was left and then read out a list of what had been provided initially they stripped.

Infuriated they demanded to leave the house with consent or they would use force to get out. Some of them armed with sticks even went into the garden to try break open the doors. There followed a long period in which viewers were treated to an empty house while negotiation/threats(?) were exchanged outside.

A sullen group then returned to the house.

Housemates expressed concerns that BB had run out of money and that could not afford to continue with the show.

BB then announced that they would not go hungry tonight and that he would provide food for tonight but they must make it last until Monday when they receive their weekly supplies. They were outraged and began moving towards the doors again. BB asked them to return to the lounge and would sort the problem out.

After much anticipation BB called them to the Store Room to reveal a veritable treasure trove of fresh food including meat, fish, vegetables and basic food stuffs and also provided copious amounts of alcohol.

In the end , the housemates stood their ground with strength and determination and BB had to concede.

What was told to them off camera in order to ensure their return to the house is the million dollar question.

Whatever it was it stopped an early return home to inter alia Nigeria, Tanzania and Ghana for this years contestants."



Anyone else feel jealous? It makes "fight night" look pretty tame - Lol.
