Namibia's Dillish Mathews wins Big Brother Africa, The Chase! The
first time that a Namibian housemate won the continental reality TV
show.
After expressing her desires to be the first woman to win the Big
Brother grand prize since Zambia's Cherise did so seven seasons ago,
Dillish has done it for all of Africa's women!
The gorgeous Namibian started her Chase race as the proverbial
underdog and was labeled everything from lazy to a pampered princess. As
the Chase rolled on however, Dillish quickly emerged as a very strong
contender for the Chase title and won her fellow Housemates and Africa
over, with her quirky, accented alter ego, aptly titled Princess
Dillish.
The Namibian made sure to stay away from trouble and coasted through
the Chase by taking her place behind the scenes. While her fellow
housemates got themselves into hot water, fighting and gossiping their
way to what they hoped was the top of the mountain, Dillish remained
grounded and maintained cordial relations with her fellow housemates.
The only time the Namibian got herself in a spot of trouble was when
she and her good friend, Nigeria's Melvin, had a disagreement after she
told her fellow housemates about a relationship he was involved in,
which was less than stellar. Dillish and Cleo proved to all and sundry
that women are indeed a force of nature. The two hotties pipped their
male counterparts, Elikem and Melvin to the top 2 while, as well as
their close friend Beverly.
Before the big news was delivered, Pebbles the fish surprised all and
sundry with one last speech. "On behalf of myself and the other fish, I
would like to congratulate you on your amazing feat. You are the
'specialest' ladies in Africa," Pebbles said.
However, one thing is clear! Tonight is Dillish's night and oh what a
moment it was! As soon as the Namibian was announced the winner of the
Chase, the Namibian broke down in a heap of tears at the realisation
that she has a cool USD 300 000 in her bank account.
