Food Raids and Gender Divides Push Housemates to the Brink

Following two evictions, Biggie launched shock food raids, confiscating meat and treats to test the “Asipheli Umoya” resilience theme. A gender separation twist has polarized the house: while the men bonded, the women fractured amidst sabotage accusations. With a 100% wager at stake tonight, HoH Tumi faces high pressure.
