In this round, the qualified housemates were made to play a dice game. Big Brother announced that the housemates with the highest score will emerge as HOH for the week.
They were to roll their die in a cup before throwing it on the table. The number on their die is what would be recorded on the board. The housemate with the highest number recorded will emerge a winner.
The four qualified housemates, Olivia, Jenni O, Mmeli and Lukay, moved to their tables to start the game at the sound of the buzzer.
Big Brother announced that all the qualified housemates will have just one try and will roll the die at the same time.
Lukay rolled a 6, Olivia rolled a 5, Jenni O rolled a 2 on her die and Mmeli rolled a 6.
Mmeli was later announced as the Big Brother Titans' first Head of House. He was also given a badge to signify his new position.
It was also announced that MMeli has immunity from the week’s nomination and will also have exclusive access to the HOH bedroom with his chosen guest from the opposite gender.
Mmeli chose Ipeleng to be his guest who will enjoy his HOH perks with him and she accepted the offer.
