“She has seen the highs, she has seen the lows. You’ve seen her being energetic, quiet, outspoken, fighting, apologetic, loving and hating. You’ve seen her doing everything.
“So in terms of the dynamics of a human being, I think she has shown all parts of herself. And this is me being objective. Even if Wanni and I didn’t have anything going on, she would still be my winner because of how dynamic she has been in the house.”
Shaun and Wanni enjoyed sizzling relationship while their stay in the house lasted; with both confirming the relationship but saying they decided to keep it on the low to avoid pressure and distraction from focusing on the ultimate Prize.
Responding to Ebuka’s question on the level of relationship, Shaun had said; “In terms of the status? Well, I would say we are dating to know each other. We haven’t put a formal status on it. But we understand that outside the house, it can be a completely different experience. We don’t want to put ourselves under pressure.” said Shaun
With just 10 days left to the end of the 71-day show, the contest is set to get tougher. Last Sunday witnessed the eviction of three housemates Wandi, Tjay and Shaun at a stretch and next Sunday 29th September promises to be more dramatic.
