Samantha From South Africa

 

Samantha, Age: 29

Self-employed former law student Samantha is from Potchefstroom in South Africa's North West Province. She loves sushi and Indian food and her favourite TV shows include 2 Broke Girls and Person of Interest, and she likes the music of Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Davido and Drake.

Her favourite films include Ica Age, Madagascar, The Perks of Being a Wallflower and This Is Forty, with Angelina Jolie her favourite actor because "she's strong, yet feminine and an amazing actress".

Her favourite place in South Africa is Johannesburg, and she says the best thing about Africa is "the diversity of the people and the cultures". Her favourite city outside the continent is Jerusalem, which she calls "a beautiful place". Samantha says her sister is her role model, because "she's inspired me to be so much more and has played a huge role in my life".

Samantha was inspired to enter Big Brother Hotshots, something she's wanted to do for "a very long time" because she finds cultures fascinating "and the thought of spending time with so many people from so many backgrounds is awesome".

If she wins the grand prize, Samantha will help the orphanages she volunteers at and take her sisters on holiday, before investing the rest.

She describes herself as "adventurous, random, witty, caring and honest" – the final trait being her favourite. It's also something she values in others, despising dishonesty and rude people.

Samantha looks up to her younger sister and can switch from one extreme to another during conflict. For a superpower in the house she would like to hope to disappear and be a fly on the wall for a couple of moments.

Nhlanhla From South Africa

 

Nhlanhla, Age: 24

Nhlanhla is from Witbank in South Africa, and is a Business Analyst, Actor and Model with an Honours degree in Information Systems. He loves fresh butternut soup, lamb shank & vegetables and cottage cheese pie. His favourite books include Animal Farm and The Great Gatsby and he enjoys Game of Thrones, Shameless, Suits and Heroes on TV. He lists Brad Pitt and Will Smith as two of his favourite actors.

His favourite place in South Africa is the Groenkloof Nature Reserve in Pretoria and the best things about the continent as a whole are the people and their strength & resilience. Amsterdam made a big impression on him at a young age when he went there and learnt a lot about himself and personal growth.

His mother is his role model, because she sacrificed a lot to get him where he is today and taught him a great many things. Together with his Grandmother, she has influenced his life a great deal because they were always strong-willed and gently guided him through life.

Nhlanhla entered Big Brother Hotshots because he's been a fan ever since he saw his first season on DStv. "I just knew that I wanted to be on the show myself, and wanted to take the opportunity to have my personality spread all over the world". He thinks having the continent's eyes on him 24/7 will be "nerve-wracking", but says it's a great feeling knowing he'll be watched by the continent and can influence the viewers.

He describes himself as "crazy, eccentric, narcissistic, energetic and spiritual" and enjoys the fact that he’s always positive and optimistic, and always sees the beauty in others.

Nhanhla thinks of himself as both street and book-smart. He has an alter-ego for his wild side and his strategy is to approach things as you would a game of chess; to use people, their strengths and weaknesses as pawns in his rise to the top.

Beverly: I Miss Angelo So Much, It Hurts

 

You all know how the love between Beverly and Angelo went down in the BBA house last year, well she has finally admitted that she misses him so much though he treated her like garbage. Any advice for her?

Missing people who treated you like garbage is very strange and dumb yet i still do it, well it's more like I feel sorry for them.
