Don't you just love a juicy plot twist? Because kykNET's "Die Brug" just gave us a whole buffet of drama in episode two.
After last week's brutal start, where a contestant was immediately voted off (yes, in the first episode, we're still recovering), this week came back swinging with a twist we didn't see coming.
We were all wondering who that mysterious new guy was, and boom!
Turns out Hirome isn't just some cute extra thrown in for drama, he's a full-on player from an entirely different house called "Noord Huis".
Yes, there's been a second house all along. What in the Big Brother multiverse is going on?

The big reveal came after Hirome entered "Suid Huis" (South House), and jaws hit the floor when the show explained he was originally from "Noord Huis" (North House).
But instead of going home, plot twist number two hit: he swapped houses and joined the Suid Huis gang. But wait, it gets juicier. Wilhrisca, who we thought was gone for good, popped up in Noord Huis.
These producers are playing chess while the rest of us are playing dominoes!
And now? It's two houses, both packed with players gunning for that million rand. Trust is fragile, alliances are forming, and the power plays are starting to show. Everyone's building bridges (literally and figuratively), but they're also sizing each other up, and we are here for it.
Let's start with the biggest twist: Hirome, the 27-year-old occupational therapist from Worcester, who was quietly voted out of Noord Huis in the very first episode. Instead of heading home, he made a re-entry into the game - this time into Suid Huis, posing as a newcomer.
He lost his mother young, bounced through the foster system, and was later adopted. Today, he's channelling his life experience into his career and his game strategy. With his calm presence, people might underestimate him.
Over in Noord Huis, the mix is fierce and fascinating. Fitness coach Lelani Loots, 39, from Centurion, has chosen herself this season, no kids, no compromises, and no time for nonsense.
She's joined by fellow Centurion CrossFit coach Anesca Latsky, a 35-year-old mother of two who embraces her 'bossy' side. She's loud, direct, and not afraid to lead, though that approach might cause tension in a house full of strong personalities.
Montagu's Roscoe Pekeur, also 39, known as boxing promoter Roscoe Rumble, brings quiet strength and honesty. Sober for over a decade, he speaks openly about his struggles and leans on faith, making him both grounded and unpredictable.
Then there's Johan Steyn, a 55-year-old rock mechanic and beekeeper from Rustenburg. Soft-spoken and observant, Steyn brings calm 'dad energy' and might just outlast louder players with his steady approach.
Rechaux Browne, 43, from Strand, is a mother of eight with a strong heart and unshakable calm, shaped by life's hardships, including her daughter's health battles. She could be the emotional centre or the unexpected strategist.
Middelburg's Tiaan van Niekerk, 35, is a reserved farmer stepping far outside his comfort zone. He's quiet, but definitely watching and in this game, quiet can be dangerous.
With Wilhrisca now in the mix after Hirome's transfer to Suid Huis, Noord Huis is shifting fast.

In the vibrant photos, the dynamic Maboe is spotted holding a beach ball and frolicking on the beach, with the sapphire blue waters of the Aegean Sea glistening behind him, a breathtaking backdrop that further enhances the spirited nature of his holiday. But it's not just sun and sand that has caught Maboe's fancy. He took an artistic turn on his holiday by paying homage to the 1970s - an era synonymous with flair and charisma.

'Gregolimano provided the canvas, while fun, good energy, and pure enjoyment were the primary colours of the time. 🤔 I think I was born in the wrong decade because this look from the 70s has me in a chokehold…⏳…' His retro fashion statements speak to a personality unafraid of self-expression, wrapped in the joy of nostalgia. Maboe's getaway comes on the heels of his much-anticipated return to The Expresso Morning Show in August 2022, following a two-year hiatus focused on resolving personal matters. After a strenuous legal battle, he was finally absolved of allegations of abuse in January 2022, paving the way for a fresh start.

The Tswyza Show might be the best music podcast out there
Home » The Tswyza Show might be the best music podcast out there The Tswyza Show-Tswyza, pictured alongside rapper Priddy Ugly, uses his platform to foreground some of the country's best rappers. Image: Tswyza/ Instagram Fans of local rap might be familiar with the Tswyza Show. This cleverly crafted podcast sees rappers interviewed in rhyme. A beat is played, and a session of poetic and rhythmical sparring ensues. Tswyza, whose given name is Kope Makgae, poses wordy questions to his guests, who in turn respond with insightful stanzas of their own. The interviews still reveal just as much, if not more, than a traditional Q&A. Tswyza – who you might know better as Mrekza from Generations: The Legacy- appears relaxed on his podcast. Reclining on a couch, the mic in front of him is the perfect tool for a conversationist. But to converse on beat while weaving metaphors seamlessly into his questioning is impressive. He approaches his art with the seasoned composure of someone who has been enamoured with rap for years. 'I remember my earlier years when music was always bumped in the crib. My mom used to like blasting American music, and so did my family. We would go to festivals together,' he recollected. He used to perform at his church when his fascination with the arts intensified. 'I've been making music since I was a kid, but started realising that I was way ahead of my time, and people didn't understand it then. So, I held back.' The adept wordsmith is of the notion that timing is everything. 'But I've never dropped the pen game but only sharpened the artillery to where it is now, hence I'm releasing a project called The Best Album Ever. It's a culmination of experience, life's work and the pen game.' He's been preparing for this moment, and the fruits of his labour regarding his podcast might make it more intriguing to take in. 'Now this is the actual evolution. I've always wanted to give a unique offering and distance myself from the competitive nature of what music was or is, because you're judged on everything other than the actual creativity. 'So, I started the Hip Hop News Wrap up (summarising headlines annually) till the rise of podcasting made me think, how can I have a fresh approach to this game using my strengths, which are music, acting, and advertising?' Tswyza's Bachelor of Arts in media and communications aided him in bringing his vision to fruition. He has hosted a variety of talented rappers on his show. It would be hard for anyone to choose a favourite, as local rappers have taken to this task with the skill it warrants. 'I wouldn't say I have favourites, and I'll tell you why. This show has made me realise how different all these rappers are; hence, I am critical in selecting my guests so as not to give you a repeated experience of what rap is. This displays a different approach in each episode. 'That's why you can't compare a Zakwe to Pitch Black, a Zulu Mecca to an N'veigh or Berry Jive. I want to keep going, unearthing these distinctive styles within hip hop, and I'm truly humbled by the experience,' he intimated. Views are always a point of consideration when it comes to podcasting or being a YouTuber. Fortunately, The Tswyza Show is pulling in 18 million impressions. 'We've got millions of views spread out via third-party posts on other people's platforms, and that is just organic because we haven't sponsored our episodes.' Rappers are notoriously difficult to lock down for engagements of this nature. Tswyza does his best to ensure his output isn't hindered by scheduling. 'The biggest challenge is availability, because these guys are busy and still make time to accommodate me. And putting out these interviews bi-weekly isn't easy, but planning and prayer are my go-to resolve.' He hoped to find the right pocket of time to hold the short attention span of audiences. 'I'm not a fan of anything that goes on over an hour. This is life, and people want a quick, straight-to-the-point fix, and that's what I'm offering.' There are plans for a mixtape of all the interviews on The Tswyza Show. 'That's coming soon on DSPs, The Best Album Ever in July and The Tswyza Show Music Festival this September with all the guests performing,' he revealed. Our conversation winds down with Tswyza sharing some of the aspects of local hip hop that he enjoys and those that irk.'I could always do without anything that lacks substance. Hip hop and rap aim to connect, reflect, relate, and express. This constant chase for hype and clout that doesn't encourage, advance or impact anybody is a waste of ears to me personally,' he lamented. 'I'm a firm believer that n*****s should go with what they feel and never stop putting out content because it might have an impact in immeasurable ways.'

Eminem is seeking financial compensation, a maximum statutory damages of $150,000 (about R2.1 million) for each track, potentially amounting to over $109 million (around R2.05 billion), for the alleged theft of his creative work.

Jennifer Hudson's interview style under scrutiny Jennifer Hudson is facing online criticism for her interviewing skills after a clip surfaced where she seemed not to listen to her guest, Eddie Murphy.

He also emphasised that there would not be a big wedding or afterparty, but Hudson repeatedly asked the same question. This led to fans calling out Hudson for not paying attention to her guests' responses. Jennifer Hudson faces internet backlash after fans accused her of not listening to what her guests are saying.
