Gino and Tiffini evicted from Big Brother Mzansi

They spent 21 days in the Big Brother Mzansi: Double Trouble house but on Sunday (April 12), Capetonian siblings Gino and Tiffini were evicted by audience voting.


Featuring two performances from Riky Rick (Boss Zonke and Sondela, featuring Zano), the show began with last week’s evictees Matthias and Sibu sharing their thoughts moments after their elimination, a clearly unexpected outcome that left the duo shocked.

Speaking on their exit, Sibu explained that he had not considered anyone in the house a threat: “I underestimated all of them and they chopped us off at the knees”. For Matthias, his lesson was that the Big Brother show “tests you as a person, as an individual, as a character”.

Back on stage, Lungile took the opportunity to remind viewers that, before they departed the show last Sunday, Matthias and Sibu had chosen Chelsea and Mbali to be the recipients of the Friday Night Games prize the two guys had previously won. However, for the ladies the prize they inherited was not without its own drama.

Given R 10 000 each by Biggie in return for agreeing that all the Housemates would survive four days on meal replacement protein shakes, Chelsea and Mbali found themselves battling annoyed Housemates who didn’t like the deal at all. Of course, Biggie’s mobile kitchen which offered up tempting dishes, each with a price tag that Chelsea and Mbali would have to pay if anyone ate anything, also added to the ladies’ challenge, as some Housemates secretly tucked into the tasty food. However, at the end of the four days, despite some tears and arguments, the twosome managed to walk away with the tidy sum of R 8300 each, after the monies they spent on buying Housemates a selection of meals was deducted.

But before then, Biggie also reminded viewers of the incredible prize that the winners of this week’s Friday Night Games, Blue and K2, have walked away with. The thrilled duo were delighted to discover that their gift was an immunity advantage and a power nomination, to use once each, between the date they won it and the Finale. Of course, they have to keep the prize secret until they are ready to use it and one can be sure that when they do, it’s going to come as a massive surprise to everyone else!

After a few painstaking moments, Lungile made the announcement – Gino and Tiffini were heading home, and were out of the running for the R2 million show grand prize.

After sharing hugs and kisses with the Housemates, the brother/sister pair left through the eviction doors; and on stage they appeared calm and composed, with Tiffini telling Lungile: “I’m good. It was as a beautiful journey, I met amazing people and the journey just continues from here”.

Sitting by her side, Gino was equally composed and when asked by Lungile if he expected to be on stage and out of the house this week, he said he was. Tiffini soon elaborated that the pair had been up for nomination so many times that they figured they had a “target on their back” and were therefore prepared for the eviction announcement. The duo also confirmed that they had absolutely no regrets about the time they spent on the show.

Talking about the sibling rivalry they demonstrated on the show, they confirmed that despite their difficult first week and some well documented arguments, they soon discovered that they had to play the game together and focused on that. Gino also went on to say that whatever happened in the house, he loved his sister very dearly and appreciated the time they got to connect in the house.

On their plans for the future, Gino revealed he has plans to head to Australia to visit his dad; while Tiffini confirmed that she wants to pursue a career in entertainment as an actress or presenter.
