Day 84 of the show that aired for three months saw 'Bengelo' split when South Africa’s Angelo was given the boot, so Beverly who now made it to top five competing for the $300,000 continues as a single woman.
Speaking to Sowetan LIVE, dance teacher Angelo Collins says to make it to 'BBA top seven' is big enough to make you feel like a winner.
“Being top seven and lasting for 84 days is a big deal and I am honoured. I did not see myself going this far.”
“I am a winner because of my country and the people who showed me love," he says.
As much as the chase game is unpredictable, so too is his relationship with Nigeria’s Beverly.
Angelo said his relationship with Beverly got him through the house and if it were not for head of house, Ghana’s Elikem saving himself from exiting the show and putting up Angelo for eviction, the South African would still be in the chase.
“I am emotional and affectionate. To get through the house, you need companionship. Beverly and I are very real. I will continue our relationship at any level she chooses.”
With Angelo, 37, and Beverly, 21, as one of the youngest - some of their fellow mates did not approve.
Angelo says age does not matter.
“We have proven age is nothing, it's bigger than that. If someone can love you for who you are, no age can keep you apart. I have more life experience than her, but when you are honest with each other nothing else matters. I am a man who loves a woman genuinely, I feel young at heart. I found love and am just simply following my heart,” he says.
Angelo had hopes of starting a small business, helping an orphanage as well as improving his family's lives should he had won the money. He says those dreams are far from over. He will continue to work towards those goals.
Ethopia’s Bimp was also cut from making it to the top five in last night's live eviction show.
Remaining in the top five:
Two contestants from Nigeria, Melvin and Beverly
Namibia’s Dilish,
Zambia’s Cleo and
Ghana’s Elikem.
