Ruby House dancing Queen and now notorious rabble-rouser, Selly, was on the receiving end of a severe talking to by Big Brother this evening. In case you missed it, the Ghanaian stunned her fellow Housemates and viewers alike during the Channel O party on Saturday night, whenshe dumped a glass full of alcohol over Pokello’s head with absolutely no provocation that would warrant such.
This evening, Big Brother called all the Rubies, who have talked about the incident in hushed tones since it happened, to the lounge to hand out his punishment. Deafening silence descended over the House as full, uncut footage of the incident was beamed into the House. The culprit, Selly, looked on in what looked to be sheer agony and embarrassment as she was exposed for all to see.
When asked to explain herself in the Diary Room, a panic-stricken Selly told Big Brother she delivered her golden booze shower because Pokello is a good dancer. “I poured alcohol over Pokello’s head to show her that she was really dancing well. I didn’t do it to provoke her because we get along. I realised later that she didn’t find it amusing. We have spoken about it and I have apologised”, she said. Selly went on to reveal how she does the same in Ghana when her friends excel on the dance floor.
When Selly emerged from the Diary Room to apologise once again, Pokello told her “It’s okay. Don’t worry about it”. Take a look at the footage below and share your thoughts. Was Selly giving props or was she trying to stir up trouble?
Big Brother has introduced a Strike Wall that will serve as a reminder that Housemates are not a law unto themselves. This particular incident happens to be Selly’s first strike and should she receive three more strikes, she will be expelled from the game.
Selly deserves it
The Rubies had a lot to say about Selly getting her first strike.
The Rubies remained engaged in animated conversation for nearly 30 minutes after Selly’s disciplinary caucus in the lounge. Many of them had initially thought Sulu was going to be punished for peeing in an ice bucket and not Selly. “I honestly thought Sulu was in trouble”, Natasha told her fellow Housemates.
In the Diary Room, Elikem told Big Brother he is glad that Selly has been punished. “It was a very unfortunate incident and we were all shocked. We actually spoke about it after it happened and agreed that it was not cool. At least now we all know we must respect each other and ensure we don’t get any strikes”, he said.
Ever the gentleman, Elikem has promised to talk to Selly again to ensure that she’s okay and that this doesn’t happen again. The Ruby House resident comedian, Sulu, kept it short and sweet. “It’s all that alcohol”. Selly remained adamant that she meant no harm and was merely showing her appreciation for Pokello’s sexy dance moves. “I honestly didn’t do that out of spite”, she said in a conversation with Maria.
