Random Outbursts

What will become of Tayo and his somewhat unfounded tantrums that rub some of the housemates and fans alike the wrong way? This morning alone, he has thrown two tantrums and luckily none of the housemates have taken offence.

With the first one, he was in the kitchen and randomly began talk of how everyone in the house was there by default and that he was the only one that was purposed to be there and eventually walk away with the prize. Could Tayo be read as an arrogant and narcissistic Hotshot? It would be that his power motives and high self-esteem are coming off to display the Nigerian model as an egocentric character.

Tayo's second random outburst happened not so long after the first one and it was in the bedroom in the presence of Esther, Mr. 265, Idris, Ellah and Trezagah. As these Hotshots went about their business, Tayo went on a rant about how nobody could challenge him and win the battle against him. He said that he comes from a people who are hunters and that he would teach 'them' how to hunt and kill lions.

The very confident Hotshot said that people must tremble when he spoke and ordered enemies to come and challenge him and assured 'them' that he would spit fire in attack. His monologue continued on for a while as he again and again told 'them' that 'they' should go to a high school if they wanted to compete and challenge someone because 'everyone' one was out of his league. He said that he wouldn't try to be modest about reality as 'they' must know.

Throughout his tantrum, his reference to 'them' was not too far from the obvious – that he was indirectly referring to the housemates. The audience he had may have not picked up on this or maybe they decided not to respond to his uproar. Who knows, maybe their retaliation will be evident in the nominations as has been the case with Sunday's nominations.

What do you make of Tayo's random outbursts?
