THIS Big Brother house rocks. The boys and girls are young and limber. Each one of them is a concrete character. And fans are already congratulating the Multichoice team upon its pick.

And true to the M-Net reality show's 'wild, wicked and wacky' tagline, Biggie is going out of his way to make it really bizarre - he must be deriving some good laughter making fools out of the housemates.

For beginners, they are having to tolerate the Alice-in-wonderland theme. It's working them up right from the house décor - which looks more like a scene from Tom and Jerry - to daily supplies.

The cutlery are little, with forks having only two spikes, the cups tiny, their saucepans too small to contain enough food for all the 12, the slippers so large they could fit a dinosaur, and they are being dressed up like clowns.

Then there are all these wall clocks with none telling the right time. Housemates think the redesigned house looks like a toy store.

Uganda's Morris has asked Biggie to think of better ideas like getting them dumbbells so they could build their bodies other than sit there and suffocate in the cramped house.

And then, a bombshell. Biggie asked each of them to nominate their hero and zero (villain) on Monday.

Looks like Morris, who is now the morning drills instructor, is already being looked at as a threat, as Angola's Ricco and Zimbabwe's Munya nominated him their zero - little boys freaked out by a giant.

But that's nothing to worry about since they were fake nominations. In fact, we should worry about our boy being targeted by almost all the six girls.

A sort of chemistry has since Sunday been brewing between him and Tanzania's Latoya. And the cameras are so in love with this they have since stayed on them. On Monday night, they shared close family tales with Latoya.

Then she showed him her family photos and fiddled with his hair, which culminated into touching and giggling.

Yet, Tawana also has the hots for Morris. On Tuesday night, she forced herself into Morris' bed, claiming she has a phobia for sleeping alone.

But Morris isn't giving much of a green light to Latoya and Tawana. He seems to have an eye on Lucille, the quiet Namibian, who had on Sunday night offered to share a bed with him.

South Africa's Thami is also eyeing the same girl, but she refused to share a bed with the loud guy on Tuesday night, who later forced himself into Malawian Hazel's.

Isn't this a good sign for our single dude? Lucille is a decent girl and oozes beauty. What more do we need for our single dude?

Meanwhile, Latoya has shifted allegiance from Morris to Ricco since the Ugandan isn't forthcoming. In fact, Ricco and the Tanzanian swapped saliva at 2:43am on Tuesday night, and shared a bed after showering together.

Seems shifting the shower hour to midnight makes the boys leave the shower for bed with ideas, the reason they are bent on sharing beds with the girls.
