Whether acting or showing real character, the remaining housemates have to reshape their strategies for the ultimate prize. In a diary session meant to ask them what they thought of their chances of winning the big prize, each of them confidently told Big Brother that they were 100 percent sure of victory. The final decision however now lies with the viewers.
The three housemates have their strengths and weakness, but by reaching this stage they have demonstrated that they were perhaps the viewers' favourites. While many viewers logging on to the Big Brother 2 website, and those sending text messages, which appear on the 24/7 reality show have queried the only married housemate, Richard's morality, the Tanzanian's relationship with Tatiana seems to have made him immensely popular with viewers. Richard is the only housemate to have survived a total of four nominations for possible eviction. He was nominated with Meryl of Namibia, but it was Meryl who got the boot. Richard also stood against Maxwell of Zambia in the eviction hot seat, and once again it was Maxwell who left the house. Richard was again nominated for possible eviction with Kwaku of Ghana, but the Ghanaian took the fall and flew back to Accra.
