Yeah, he won the $100,000 prize. Richard Bezuidenhout, the 24-year-old married film student who was caught on tape committing what is, in most places in the world, considered a felony, still received the highest number of votes. You know, because he's so dreamy! Ironically (or is it more disgustingly) his fellow contestant and victim, 29-year-old medical assistant Ofunneka Molokwu, came in second place. The company that produces Big Brother Africa claims that what happened to Molokwu was consensual sex, even though she had been drinking so much that she vomited. I thought we'd already established that there are no shades of gray when vomit is involved?



Anyway, according to a First Post reporter's account of the incident:

Bezuidenhout, a married man, unbuttoned his trousers, boasted about his "machinegun" and taunted the female housemates with a pledge to "bump" them all. The camera then cut to the bedroom, filmed in muddy black-and-white night vision. Bezuidenhout was lying flat on his back in the middle of the bed. To his right, a huddled shape lay hidden beneath the duvet - Tatiana Durao, a 26-year-old Angolan with whom he has already had sex on the show. To his left lay Molokwu (pictured on previous page). Something was moving between her thighs - it looked like Richard's left hand. He seemed to be touching her private parts, and she seemed to be responding. She thrust her hips up and towards him, gripping his hand between her thighs. An idiot grin spread across Bezuidenhout's face.
Molokwu remembers nothing from that drunken afternoon.

He raped a housemate on Big Brother Africa and they're apparently showing it next week because they decided it wasn't rape even though it was. We were confused enough to start touring Big Brother Africa blogs, and we figured it out: Reality Rapist Richard is really popular. He's had a really fun affair with another housemate, and whereas his victim Ofunneka is sort of an boring neat freak who is kind of motherly and crap, Richard is really cute and chill, and in fact everyone in his native Tanzania still cheering for him to win the prize. "In his quest for the prize he has not stepped on anybody's toes the way some people did," wrote one fan, TODAY. (Um, yeah, because he was too busy sniffing the finger he stuck in that unconscious housemate's pussy?)

In the case that they take offense to his actions, it often has to do with his ignorance and foul mouth. ("You would have thought the foul-mouthed Tanzanian had had sewage for dessert.") But worstest, when bloggers DEFEND Ofunneka on message boards, their posts disappear mysteriously. Which is why we're thankful for the Big Brother Africa II Official Fan Weblog, for courageously posting this viewer's defense of Ofunneka, which was so strident and controversial the viewer actually prefaced it with this:

At the risk of being shot down, sworn at and abused by the die hard Richard fans who believe that no matter what their boy does he can do no wrong I will post this thread.

In the same way that some forumists have the right to say what they want and go to the extent of blaming Ricki, alcohol and whatever they will next concoct as an excuse I have the right to post this thread and be heard.

So yeah, kinda makes you relieved that no one on American reality TV is all that sympathetic/ congenial, right? No one would give the benefit of the doubt to, like, Spencer.]]> http://jezebel.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=318435&view=rss&microfeed=true
