Flirting and hooking up in the BBA house…

THINGS are certainly heating up in the Big Brother house.

Not only are tempers beginning to flare and conflicts starting to arise, but perhaps even more sizzling is the way couples seem to be forming. What began as mere flirtations a week ago are evolving into something more intimate.What is really going on between the so-called couples in the house and how do the other housemates feel about these romantic alliances? Twosome or threesome? The smooth talker from Ghana seems like the kind of man who is used to getting what he wants.Blessed with good looks and a sexy bod, he seems to take it for granted that most women will fall at his feet.Our girl Meryl cannot seem to resist his obvious charms.Nor he hers, for that matter.The curvaceous young woman says she has a special relationship with Kwaku as she has someone similar back home …Wonder who that would be? And are they willing to tell all? The attraction between the two was immediate.Kwaku seems to find Meryl’s sexuality a turn-on and from the very first night viewers and the housemates alike could not ignore the spark between the two.Kwaku, though, might turn out to be something of a fickle admirer.He is not one to burn his other bridges and concentrate on only one woman.I may be wrong but from the look of things it seems as though he definitely would not mind giving Tatiana a lil’ sumthin’-sumthin’! For that matter, it seems like he may have his eye on Lerato too! The model cum actress from Angola has spoken quite openly about her partner, saying that the two of them grew up together and have been together for seven years.”He is a very understanding, kind and loving man,” she has said.So I wouldn’t bet on an Angola-Ghana hook-up.So far, Tatiana has only used her good looks and quirky charm to tease some of the boys.Will this twosome-threesome turn into something X-rated or a cat fight – meoooow! He’s taken but I want him…The resident couple of the house, Lerato and Maxwell, eat from the same plate, call each other ‘baby’ and regularly cuddle up together.Some of the others call them “husband” and “wife”.I’m sorry but am I the only one who remembers that Maxwell actually has a long-term girlfriend on the outside? This, it seems, is actually spurring Lerato on.Like most women, the fact that the man is taken has actually made her more interested in him! Since finding out about his girlfriend back home and seeing photos of her, Lerato seems more determined than ever to GET him.The two seem to get along very well and have a genuine affection for each other but I can’t help wondering if Lerato and viewers in the rest of Africa are misconstruing Max’s actions.I think Max is just being Max.I think in real life, he is just a very friendly, loveable and flirtatious guy and he has found a kindred spirit in Lerato, whether that is necessarily romantic or simply harmless flirting is up for debate.Bertha, I would bet, may just have a crush on Max as well.I’ve never seen her making such ga-ga eyes at any of the other male housemates.And whenever Max is near, there is always a coy smile forming on her face.Yesterday morning, as the other housemates were preparing breakfast, she made a point of speaking to Max privately, to find out if he realised that his joking around with Lerato may not be perceived as such by others.Could it be that Maxwell’s attentions have interfered with Bertha’s game plan and she is finding herself more and more attracted to the Zambian lover boy? Or is she simply a judgemental person, who would have been better served staying at home with Mummy and Daddy? Hopeless case? Has Kenya’s muscle man got such low levels of testosterone or does he swing just a little bit? The other guys don’t shower with him, he spends mucho time in the kitchen and none of the girls even view him on a romantic level.He seems to be more of a big, harmless teddy bear than anything else.And the guy is just too quiet for his own good.Whether he is simply shy, awkward and unsure of himself or whether he is just not attracted to girls is something that hopefully we will get to see in the coming weeks.That is if he is not the first one evicted from the house for non-participation.Vertically challenged Justice has been teased mercilessly by Tatiana.She gave him the opportunity to kiss her but Justice failed to take the bait.Bullied by Lerato and ignored by most of the other women, poor old Justice seems to be something of a hopeless case! He is however hiding a big secret (in his shorts) and I wonder if the girls would change their minds if they knew what he was packing! Ofunneka, Ofunneka, Ofunneka – I just can’t seem to figure her.Colleagues say I’m too hard on her but I can’t help it, I think the chick is just too weird.She has not expressed an interest in much of Big Brother living.Mostly she is content to sit quietly and read or sleep, or cook or dance like a maniac in front of the mirror.OK, her Idols dance was nice, very ‘tribal chic’, but that little performance she put on on Saturday night was just too much.Here’s an idea, why don’t Richard and Maureen hook up? They could both fit into the same bra, oops I forgot, Maureen doesn’t wear bras! They both come from East African countries, so they would definitely have the language and culture thing down.They both have very few inhibitions – Maureen preferring to be naked most of the time and Richard who likes to wear his wife’s clothes from time to time! A match made in heaven, hey?
