It’s one week before the finale in the Big Brother Mzansi house, and three housemates have already secured their spots.
This comes after a dramatic double eviction saw King Wanda and The Don exit the game, leaving eight housemates vying for the grand prize.

Thandeka Tshabalala and Lindy Christoffels were the first two housemates to secure a spot in the finale. They won on an ice bath endurance battle where the housemates had to sit in a jacuzzi filled with ice water.
After Ashay won the Head of House challenge three times in a row, face-to-face nominations took place. As always, Big Brother had a twist up his sleeve. After nominations, HoH Ashay stepped up to spin the Redemption Wheel, which would save one housemate and send them straight to the finale. When the wheel stopped, it landed on Liyema ‘Liema’ Pantsi, instantly securing her a place in the finale and shaking up the game dynamics once again.
Introducing your Finalist Immunity Holders! 🎉 Thandeka and Trixie braved the icy endurance challenge to claim their golden tickets to the finale, and luck was on Liema’s side when Biggie’s nomination twist gave Ashay the chance to spin the Redemption Wheel. It landed on her… pic.twitter.com/f8Lj3QVYrQ
