Ellah Reveals She Had Plans To Marry Idris

Ellah and Idris were often seen snuggling under the covers. They even kissed several times as they enjoyed their time in the Big Brother house. But after their mothers visited and cautioned them during the freeze task in the second last week of the show, things changed and they ended up in a complicated situation as the 21-year-old Tanzanian photographer couldn't decide whether he wanted to be with Ellah or not.

This of course made her most upset, but the 24-year-old Ugandan beauty queen couldn't help all her infatuation. In an interview with Uganda's New Vision, Ellah, real name Stellah Nantumbwe, has revealed that she had plans to marry the Big Brother Hotshots winner.

Read excerpts below;

Who updates your Twitter handle?

I do, but sometimes there is administrator who helps me to keep it active. People like it when you are in touch with them.

How have you been since returning from Big Brother Africa?

Life has changed, but for the better. I am proud of what I have achieved so far.

I watched you on the Scoop 'n Scoop show on Urban TV.

That was my first time on TV as a presenter. I was not nervous. I was just myself. I guess the cameras in the Big Brother House helped a lot.

Who is your ideal man?

Definitely Idris Sultan. He has a great masculine body. I think he has all the qualities any woman would want.

Tell us about Idris. Was the relationship real?

I do not know about him, but for me, it was real. Right now, we are settling back into our lives. We will see if we still have the feelings for each other.

Has he called since Big Brother ended?

We are in touch. But I cannot tell you to what extent.

Idris is 21 and you are 24. Does the age difference matter to you?

For me, it is about maturity, not age.

Did you have any plans of marrying him?

Yes, but we decided to put our relationship on hold. This is because when money is in control, a lot can happen. We shall give ourselves some time.

Didn't you worry that your boyfriend back at home was watching, while you cried over Idris?

At that moment, I did not care at all. I just wanted to follow my heart, be myself and be happy.

What puts you off about a guy?

Being aggressive, manipulative and having self-pity.

You were very laid back at the start of the game.

You get very anxious when you enter the BBA House: You do not know what to expect. But soon, it gets easier as you interact with your housemates. The diary room sessions and the cameras remind you that you are not in isolation. Just knowing there are people outside who are around you is comforting.

Viewers across the continent thought 'Biggie' had a crush on you?

It was a good friendship. We always had a good conversation. I guess he was so kind to me because of my character. I did not forgot to tell him "thank you" after every session.

Did you meet Biggie after BBA?

I did not and I would not want to meet the person behind the voice. It is just nice that the voice makes you feel like someone is watching over you, like a real big brother.

Is Idris going to share the money with you?

I do not know. But I want to make my own money.

What if you found out that he had a stable girlfriend back at home?

Honestly, I would totally understand that and move on with my life.

What do you think of sex before marriage?

I think one should do what they feel is comfortable for them.

You and Esther did not really like each other and yet you are from the same country, why?

It is just that she preferred different kind of company.

What next after Big Brother?

There are some songs I recorded while in the house. The first one I am going to record is about Idris.

Idris Wins Head Of House Task.....Who do you think Idris will add in tonight's nomination show?

The qualifier for the Head of House task was titled Feed the Monster. Housemates were told to line up behind a throwing line at Big Brother's command. They were then instructed to throw a Frisbee into a constructed monster's open mouth. Each housemate got three turns, with each turn starting at the sound of a buzzer. All the housemates who successfully tossed the Frisbee into the monster's mouth three times, qualified for the next round.

Only four people were allowed to qualify for the chance to compete for Head of House. There were plenty of misses and some interesting throwing methods. Butterphly, Idris and Ellah were the only housemates to get Frisbees through the monster's mouth, and none of them managed it three times. Realising how difficult the task actually was, Big Brother kindly offered all the housemates another chance, with the previous round rendered null and void.

During the do-over, Nhlanhla, Mr. 265, Macky2, Tayo, Frankie, Idris and Butterphly managed to feed the monster a few times. Frankie was the first to qualify for the Head of House task with two throws, and the housemates who had managed to throw the Frisbee into the monster's mouth once had to go through another round.

In a final, nail-biting round, only Nhlanhla, Mr. 265 and Idris emerged victorious, joining Frankie for chance to compete for Head of House.

The qualifying housemates – Mr. 265, Frankie, Nhlanhla and Idris – were to take part in the Ghandour Putt-Putt Golf Course Tournament for the Head of House task. In the garden, the ninjas supplied housemates with Ghandour-branded T-shirts which housemates all pulled on. The qualifiers each received a golf club and ball, while the other housemates became spectators.

At the sound of the alarm the tournament started. The aim was to putt the ball from the start line, past all the obstacles and sink it into the hole at the end. The player with the lowest handicap, in other words the person who hit the ball the least amount of times from start to finish, would be the Head of House winner.

Nhlanhla was up first, followed by Frankie. Next up was Mr. 265 and finally Idris.They all started well, but struggled when it came to sinking the ball - it was certainly a tricky putt. However, they all got it in. Housemates were whispering in the background, delivering commentary and clapping afterwards, making it feel like an actual golf tournament. But there could be only one golf champion and it was Idris.

Goitse finally gives Idris a Massage

Idris finally got a massage from Goitse.!

We never dreamed we would see the day that Goitse finally made good on the massage she promised Idris, once upon a time. In a delightful turn of events, however, the lad was finally treated to a massage from a surprisingly doting Goitse.

After a heated conversation with Laveda, Idris, laying upstairs on Goitse’s be asked his buddy Luis to remind her that he was waiting for him. Knowing that it might raise eye-brows he asked Luis to rather pull her aside and remind her.

Just when we were asking ourselves “does Idris ever learn?” and preparing ourselves for him to be stood up, she traipsed on up with her buddy Sipe. We held our breaths for some more bickering but were pleasantly surprised. As was Idris we’re sure.

Goitse demanded he strip his clothes off and lay down immediately if he wanted a massage from her. Was this the dominatrix in a usually reserved Goitse creeping out? Idris could not believe his life at that moment. After so much struggling back and forth with Goitse he had finally broken down her walls only to reveal a bubbly, flirtatious side to her. It was quite a pleasure to finally see.

Looks like patience, persistence, pining and a bruised ego finally paid off for Idris. But did this mean, what we thought it did?

Is there more than just small talk happening between Idris and Mira? And what's going on between Alusa and Samantha?

As the housemates settled in for the day, Alusa and Samantha sparked a conversation about heritage and family history. 
 
They immersed themselves in the topic, particularly Samantha who talked with enthusiasm about her lineage, and then delved into travel, recounting her trip to Israel. 
 
This brought up the topic of an ex-boyfriend, and Alusa established, and was amazed, that she is single. Clearly, more than just conversational sparks were flying, as Alusa gave her his full attention.

Permithias soon joined the conversation, chatting about Namibia and the difference in size between Windhoek airport and OR Tambo airport.But all this may just have been smoke and mirrors, as he tried to cosy up to Samantha, perhaps suspicious of Alusa's feelings and intentions towards her. Is it a love triangle in the making? And what about Tayo: has Samantha forgotten him already? The way things are developing, it could be a love quadrangle!

Mira gave her two cents' worth, representing Mozambique by talking about the beauty of Maputo. Shy as first, once she got into the conversation her eagerness could not be checked and she enthused about eating magumba with absolute relish. Maybe we'll see her work miracles in the kitchen.

The only thing Idris was relishing was Mira's beauty. He remained riveted as she spoke, taking in every word and every sparkle in her eye. On the surface they may have been championing their countries and showing streaks of patriotism, but rippling beneath could be latent feelings of love.

Idris From Tanzania

 

Idris, Age: 21

Idris is a photographer from Arusha, Tanzania. He enjoys reading anything by Dan Brown. His musical taste is quite varied, ranging from Chris Brown, Michael Jackson, Usher to Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Lana Del Ray and Nina Simone.

Idris says he doesn't have one specific role model, choosing instead to take the best from every successful person he meets. That said, his mom has influenced his life the most. He's most proud of the respect he's earned by showcasing his skill and creativity in photography.

He says he entered Big Brother Hotshots because he wants to inspire people and make a name for himself in the process. He feels 'thrilled, accomplished and totally special' that the continent will be watching him on the show and describes himself as "smart, flirty and creative".

Idris is filled with positive energy. He admits to having a strategy, hoping that his fellow housemates will turn to him "when they want to be inspired or when they feel down."
