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.
