Ricco was the people's 'champion'

Ricardo Venancio, fondly known as Ricco in the house, the ultimate winner of BBA 3 cash prize, was Africa's sweetheart from the onset and seemed to get along well with all the other housemates.

It was obvious from the onset that Africa had fallen in love with the young man, though Malawi's Hazel ended up giving him some tough competition towards the end. While other people in the house were being bashed, Ricco received many positive comments, with most viewers predicting that he would be the winner.
