The 'Tails' Housemates got their first taste of nomination on Monday, 16 May on M-Net's Big Brother Amplified after the 'Heads' Housemates took their turn last week.

Once everyone had had his or her say, including Head of House, Miss P, Nkuli, Luclay, Mumba and Kim, are up for eviction this Sunday.
A tensed Miss P made a last-minute decision to use her Head of House power to save Karen, who had received the most nominations and put Mumba up for eviction in her place.

In a surprise decision, Luclay decided that he didn't want to nominate anyone. Big Brother warned him that he could find himself evicted on Sunday, but said he was “fine with that”.

His decision not to make a nomination means he is automatically up for eviction this Sunday.

Alex nominated Karen and Nkuli, saying the two were his biggest threats. After Big Brother probed a little deeper, Alex said that even though Karen was fun, “she doesn't participate in chores” and Nkuli “didn't pull her weight during the last task.”

Bhoke was surprised when she discovered that it was nomination time and took a deep breath before choosing Karen and Nkuli. She nominated Karen because she found the Nigerian “very defensive and attacking” and Nkuli, because she hadn't been close to her.

Danny finally made his choice after ignoring Big Brother's summons to the Chat Room as he cleaned the patio furniture. He nominated Karen because he believed she was a strong character. He then nominated Kim because he thought that viewers would vote for her because she is so entertaining.

Despite having made peace with Luclay, Ernest nominated the South African because he felt that he would continue to bear a grudge and didn't feel safe around him. His second nomination went to Karen because he feels she is too insecure, which made her dangerous.

Karen dressed up specially for her first nomination session, before nominating Alex and Kim. She chose Alex because she felt she still didn't know much about him and Kim because she didn't know if she was fake or just taking time to 'come out.'

Lotus nominated Kim because she didn't “gel with her” and her fellow Tanzanian Bhoke in the hope that she would be left as the last Tanzanian standing in the game.

Kim unknowingly returned the favour by nominating Karen, saying that she was destructive and always in the way. Her second nomination went to Lotus for her inability to listen and talking too much.

Mumba nominated Miss P because, as Head of House, she could save herself. Her second nomination went to Ernest, because he was “becoming too loud and irritating.”

Nic nominated Lotus and Nkuli, the former, because he hadn't found any common ground with her even though they had kissed in the Jacuzzi and the latter because he felt she was too distant.

Nkuli followed Mumba's thinking in nominating Miss P before nominating Bhoke because she felt the Tanzanian didn't “add much value” to the House.

Miss P had the final say in the nominations picking Karen, “because she takes everything lightly” and Nkuli, because she feels the South African wouldn't give her the time of day.

The winner of Big Brother Amplified, which is sponsored by Coca-Cola, will be named on 31 July, after 91 days in the House. The eventual winner will smile home with USD 200,000 dollars.
