The day of reckoning is here. After 91 days in the Big Brother Stargame house, six housemates out of 35 contestants that participated in this year’s edition will be counting on public votes to make them the ultimate winner as the reality show rounds off this Sunday.

Lady May, Prezzo, Wati, Talia, Keagan and Kyle are in the running to win the USD 300 000 prize after last Sunday’s eviction of Uganda’s Jannette.

This year’s show added a bit of a twist with the inclusion of celebrities and partners to the game. Fourteen couples lived in “Downville” while seven celebrities lived in “Upville” for 91 days.

As expected when people who come from different cultures and backgrounds are forced to live with each other 24/7, the show was not without its fair share of intrigues, drama and violence.

Ghanaian comedian DKB was evicted from the house after he slapped fellow housemate Zainab during an altercation. Also, the love-hate relationship between Zimbabwean housemates, Roki and Maneta, which also resulted in a physical confrontation, left Big Brother with no choice but to expel them both from the show.

According to the Big Brother rules, violence in the house is strictly prohibited and Roki and Meneta’s disqualification as well as DKB was justified as they were engaged in a physical fight. “Violence can refer to self-inflicted violence or violence towards another. Violence includes provocation, goading, bullying and victimisation,” Biggie told the housemates.

However, after all the tears, fights, laughter and romance, it has come down to Lady May from Namibia, Prezzo from Kenya, Wati from Malawi, Talia from Zambia, Keagan from South Africa and Kyle from Uganda. The big question in the lips of many viewers of the reality show is, who will go home with the star prize?

While some viewers are tipping Prezzo for the prize, others want Lady  May or Keagan to emerge the winner. Observers believed that the eviction of Nigeria’s  Goldie placed the Kenyan housemate at an advantage position to contend for the prize. But from all indications, this year’s show is not devoid of intrigues , frills and trills. As tension builds up, one thing is certain and that is,  one of the last six  housemates standing will definitely go home with the USD 300 000 prize.
