This week’s wager task is to host a traditional meal via a cooking show.

When Big Brother summoned the Head of House to the diary room on Monday to provide instructions regarding this week’s wager challenge, the percentage was quickly decided upon by the housemates. They decided upon 75%.

The housemates appeared to be thrilled as Blaqboi read the wager task to them because it involved a lot of food. A few things to ponder as well. Fortunately, because no one was overly enthusiastic about having noodles for breakfast this morning, there was some tension in the home.

The task is that the housemates are to cook a three-course meal (a starter, main meal and dessert) that combines Nigerian and South African flavours. It should be cohesive and it is to be presented via a cooking show, with a dressed tables, presenters, chefs and sous chefs.

They will be given a chance to order ingredients and props by the end of today, but there’s no guarantee that these will be satisfied by Biggie. Should the housemates win the task, the 75% percent will be added onto their shopping budget. If they lose, that percentage will be deducted.

The housemates quickly and eagerly put their heads together to decide on meals, but there were many cooks and many opinions. A few felt that certain traditional meals could not be remixed.

On the suggested recipe list so far are egusi soup, kota, dombola, magwinya, jollof rice, yam, pork trotters and even sheep’s head. Let’s see how this plays out!
