BBTitans: 22 Housemates To Participate In ‘Cooking’ Third Wager Task

This week’s wager task in the ongoing Big Brother Titans reality show is to host a traditional meal via a cooking show.

On Monday, January 30, Big Brother called on BlaqBoi, the Head of House into the diary room to relay instructions about this week’s wager task, and there was a quick split decision among housemates on the percentage. They settled on 75%.

Blaqboi read the wager task to the housemates, who seemed to be excited – one of the happy consequences of the task is food, and lots of it. And some food for thought. Just as well: There was some tension in the house this morning as nobody is that thrilled about eating noodles for breakfast.

The task is that the housemates cook a three-course meal (a starter, main meal and dessert) that combines Nigerian and South African flavours. It should be cohesive and it is to be presented via a cooking show, with a dressed table, presenters, chefs and sous chefs.

They will be given a chance to order ingredients and props by the end of Monday, but there’s no guarantee that these will be satisfied by Biggie. Should the housemates win the task, the 75% percent will be added onto their shopping budget. If they lose, that percentage will be deducted.

The housemates quickly and eagerly put their heads together to decide on meals, but there were many cooks and many opinions. A few felt that certain traditional meals could not be remixed.

On the suggested recipe list so far are egusi soup, kota, dombola, magwinya, jollof rice, yam, pork trotters and even sheep’s head.
