Africa stand up and salute your Top 5. After 25 bade the Show goodbye,
Beverly, Cleo, Dillish, Elikem and Melvin are the final 5 and it has
been quite a journey for them.
We look at a few facts about their long journey in The Chase:
Beverly:
Originally a Ruby, Beverly is probably the luckiest of the pack having
gone through the entire Season without facing the dreaded Eviction
dagger. It's safe to say that the Nigerian lass literally walked her way
to the Finale. On love, she had a bad experience very early in the game
when Uganda's LK4 tried two-timing her with South Africa's Koketso.
Seeing the Ugandan choose Koketso over her must have been a huge blow
but she soldiered on, thanks to being Swapped to the Diamond House. No
one wanted to believe that Betty's Bolt had his eyes fixed on Beverly
but that was her story and she stuck to it. It was only after Bolt moved
to the Ruby House that he started confessing to a few transgressions.
Beverly won HoH twice during the Season.
Cleo:
Hakeem's sweetheart or Mrs Mandaza as she became fondly known on the Big
Brother Africa Twitter streets, Cleo surprised many when she pulled
herself together and continued with The Chase even after her beau was
booted out. Having survived four Evictions, the Zambian emcee has proved
to be quite a strong contender in the game. Though this original Ruby
couldn't quite crack winning Head of House, she really pulled her weight
and was always so close.
Dillish:
The last confirmed Finalist, Diamond Dillish must still be pinching
herself after surviving the last Eviction that saw South Africa's Angelo
and Ethiopian Bimp bite the dust. The princess, as Pebbles calls her,
is another one that became a regular under the guillotine but Africa
would not hear any of it and she was Saved on all occasions. Though she
managed to go through the entire Season without falling for any of the
guys, Dillish occasionally spoke about yearning for some good loving.
Sadly, the Namibian princess failed dismally to make Head of House.
Elikem:
'That nigga Elikem', as his beau the gorgeous Pokello refers to him,
became the first confirmed Finalist of The Chase. The Ghanaian Chasemate
fought quite a few battles to make it to the finish line in one piece.
Having been the target of serious frenemy squabbles, it took Elikem a
while to wake up and smell the coffee. The Taylor was quite popular with
the ladies before settling with Zimbabwe's Pokello and the ladies had
to take a chill pill. A man of firsts, Elikem is also the only Chasemate
to have had the nerve to Nominate his love-interest when he put up
Pokello. He is also the first Ghanaian to make it to the Finale. This
original Diamond became Head of House three times and survived five
Evictions; twice by Africa and three times by the respective HoH.
Melvin:
The only Chasemate to have tested fate and put his own head on the
chopping block during his tenure as Head of House, a move that will go
down as one of the boldest of the Season. Perhaps that's the reason why
his fellow Housemates could not Nominate him ever again, they were still
picking up their jaws from the floor. The Nigerian hottie almost wears a
permanent smile and never bothers anyone. That's why it was quite a
spectacle when Dillish rubbed him the wrong way this week, making him
very angry. Though he only faced Eviction once, by his own doing anyway,
Melvin won Head of House three times during his days as a Diamond. This
actually made it hard to recall that Melvin is actually an original
Ruby.
Though everyone is now a Ruby, fact remains that we have three original
Rubies and two original Diamonds in the Top 5. Ghana, Namibia, Nigeria
and Zambia are represented in the Finale.
How happy are you about the Top 5 Africa?
