Feature: Will a HoH ever win an Extravaganza?


It’s more of a coincidence that ever since Big Brother Hotshots started 27 days ago, no sitting HoH has ever won the much coveted Extravaganza presentations normally staged on Saturdays with the winner being announced on Sunday shortly after the infamous evictions. 
 
Week 1 saw ex-Hotshot Laveda becoming the first ever HoH of the season, apart from helping her fellow housemates bag their very first Wager, she failed to land the first Extravaganza. Many attributed her team’s loss to the fights that engulfed her team allegedly fueled by JJ and Sabina. The fact that she chose her team also made the other housemates she didn’t pick gain popular among the voting population which happens to be fans of the show.
 
Week 2 saw another lady in Samantha deservedly taking over from Laveda. The South African also bagged the second Wager of the season but just like her predecessor, she hand-picked her team which was beaten hands down by the “under-dogs.”
 
As if Africa hadn’t seen enough of the HoH’s team losing an Extravaganza, the third week saw Nhlanhla succeeding country mate Samantha at helm. He however wasn’t any lucky like the ladies as he didn’t bag either of the two (Wager and Extravaganza).
 
It’s now week 4 and another Extravaganza is at hand with JJ hoping to break the jinx and be the first ever HoH to win an it, will he bag it for Team A? Time will tell. Unlike Nhlanhla, JJ helped the house bag their third Wager victory of the season. He however wasn’t given the pleasure of picking his own team after Biggie came up with a new twist, something that seems to have been welcomed by not only the Hotshots but also Africa.
 
It seems Africa has in the past few weeks been voting for the “under dogs” (reasoning that since the HoH didn’t pick them, we shall have their backs) and we must say Africa has seen the success of their hard work (via voting). The other criteria that is most probably used to vote for the winner is by who belongs to which team, as long as someone’s  favourite is on a certain team, they’ll be assured of support because they’ve to stay in that house (by default, so we think), this seems to have denied the aspect of entertainment to play a part on this whole scenario.
 
Long story short, Africa is definitely looking forward to the fourth Extravaganza of the season, hopefully history is made this evening.
 
Are you looking forward to seeing a HoH win an Extravaganza tonight or are are you still going for your favourite housemate irrespective of the team’s performance?
