The excitement that usually comes with the Red Telephone has turned into tension and confusion in the house. In the past, every housemate would jump at the chance to answer it, especially when they expected treats or rewards. But this time, the ringing phone brought “missions impossible” and the risk of punishments instead.
Tonight, Mmeli was instructed to get all housemates to dance the Macarena with him, promising R700 each if they succeeded, or else he would wash everyone’s gym clothes and lose his Zakhaa money. Initially overwhelmed, he eventually rallied the housemates, except for Didi, who refused. The mission succeeded, rewarding all the participating housemates with exception of Didi who refused.
Thandeka too was given a secret mission to stay non-verbal and not speak nor sing for a while, Thandeka successfully completed it and secured for herself 500 rands and an extra 700 rands.
The same fate befell King Wanda too. When the telephone rang for the third time, Mmeli answered it, but Big Sister summoned Mmeli to call King Wanda on the line instead. King Wanda was than tasked with convincing the house that he had heard knocks and strange voices, prompting everyone to investigate before the Friday night arena games. Despite several attempts, he failed the mission and will now have to wash the housemates’ gym clothes.
The thrill of answering the Red Telephone has faded. Where housemates once raced to pick up the call, they now approach it with caution. There was a time when they would sit beside it, eagerly waiting for it to ring. Now, the very same housemates scatter at the sound of it ringing.
