BBA winner Dilish Matthews' game plan of choosing to not get herself caught up in a relationship had paid off for her as she who was all in it for the money, had walked away with the whopping $300 000.
Last night the 22 year old walked away with the cash from the 91 days stay of the Big Brother Africa Chase game as she was dubbed the face of BBA 2013.
This year’s game was all about the chase unlike the other housemates who came in single and exited the game with a partner. Matthews seemed less interested in getting involved with anyone inside the reality show which was clearly the game plan that worked in the end.
She always spoke about her prince charming Steven, her long-time boyfriend outside the house, who was present last night when she was crowned the winner of BBA.
Steven, happy to be reunited with his princess, crowned his girlfriend with a tiara.
“I am dumb struck. Everything I want to say is right here next to me. I brought her a tiara because she had always said she is a princess inside the house, but the truth is she is more than a princess, she's my queen," Steven says.
BBA’s 'barbie doll' says her choice to be an underdog has come as an achievement. She was never competitive, nor was she ever head of house and has survived nominations five times.
“I have always been the underdog in the house, I was more playful than serious. When everyone found love I just wanted to feel like a princess all the time.
“The guys in the house were attractive, they had six packs and would even shower with you, it was not easy to ignore their cute looks but my heart was always with my Steven.
“If my relationship were to end, I did not want to be the one responsible for the break-up. We have been through so much together for four years, we have something special.
“A guy like Steven may look scary to you, but he is such a teddy bear. He is sweet, caring and loving. He is my love and no one in there was worth me losing such a priceless man,” she says.
The Namibian beauty queen explains it is not easy to uphold 91 days without feeling drained.
“This has been an exhausting journey, just on Saturday I was thinking this is crazy I should have gone home long ago. It has been a good and bad 91 days, everything you do, there is a camera watching you. I am still tired and it’s only been one day out the house.”
She says coming out of BBA feels like coming out of jail.
“I feel like I just came out of jail, I have never won anything in my life, little did I think it would be me who hailed as the ultimate winner.
“It feels great but still have not sunk in. This is crazy,” Dilish says.
Dilish plans to buy a house with the money she had won.
“As soon as I get home I am going house hunting. I want a house that is big enough for me and my siblings. After my mom divorced we struggled and we were forced to live apart.
“Now my mom will have a beautiful kitchen, everything I do is for my family.”
Housemates that did not walk away with the money found love on BBA, hopefully the couples keep it going now that the reality show is over.
