how kenya reacted to prezzo not winning BBA

Where did Prezzo get it wrong?


Angry Kenyan BBA fans vented their frustrations on twitter and facebook after rapper Prezzo was evicted from the House last night, in a tense finale that saw South African contestant Keagan announced as winner.
Hopes that had built to a crescendo when it was just Prezzo and Keagan left in the Upville house, but they were quickly dashed when the musician was asked to leave.

Prezzo got two country votes compared to Keagan’s whopping seven, which earned him a grand prize of about Sh25 million.
But as the anger subsided several good-luck wishes were relayed to the 4sho 4shizzy singer, congratulating him for almost winning the show, including from Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta’s Presidential campaign team.
Where did it go wrong?
Former BBA contestant Sheila Kwamboka thinks that Prezzo’s downfall may have been because of conflict in the house.
“He made too many enemies, and that’s what worked against him,” she told Capital Lifestyle.
“A lot of Africans genuinely liked him. He was cool, and an entertainer, but was disliked because of the fights he had in the house, especially with Barbz from South Africa.”
Another former Kenyan contestant Nick Wagondu meanwhile said that Prezzo played the game well and Kenyans should accept the vote.
“It must be hard for him to have come so close and then lose. There’s more to it than voting. Maybe we’ll get it next year,” he said.
Prezzo did not walk away from the competition empty-handed; he was given a big-boy scooter, a PVR decoder and the title of Ambassador for the ONE campaign against hunger.

Usain Bolt cruises into Olympics 200m semi-finals

Usain Bolt began his bid to win the sprint double at London 2012 by cruising into the semi-finals of the Olympic 200m.
The 25-year-old Jamaican, who defended his 100m crown on Sunday, eased off down the home straight as he won his heat in a time of 20.39 seconds.
He was joined by France's Christophe Lemaitre, who did not run the 100m, and Britain's Christian Malcolm.
The semi-finals are on Wednesday and the final takes place on Thursday.
Four-time Olympic champion Bolt is also attempting to retain his 200m title from Beijing.
After what was approaching a jog, Bolt told BBC Sport: "The crowd is always wonderful, they play an important role in my running and I love my 200m.
"I try to do my part, I know what comes with winning so all I have to do is try and enjoy it."

    Think they need to start giving other runners a head start against him. He'll still win but it will look closer

    Bolt will probably win the 200 metres although Blake will push him hard again. The fact he can ease off so much and still run 20.39 seconds shows what good form he is in and I can't see anyone getting close to him other than his training partner and team-mate.

    it's the Bolt show, no one is going to beat him.

    Although in the 100m at least he had to try all the way to the line this year, so the competition is closing the gap!!
