The game which will determine who will go straight to the big four list has just ended. It’s a fight of 3 people namely Melai, Paul Jake and Tibo. Fortunately, Melai won against the two guys. And the price was having a slot for the big 4.
The 3 brave housemates faced the endurance test that will surely make one to be part of the big 4. The test was just “simply” to stand on a small platform in the middle of the pool for an undefined number of hours. The winner was determined in a way that the person who lasts longer and doesn’t fall in his/her place.
It is easier said than done, isn’t it? There’s no ifs and buts to leave that platform. They have to withstand the pressure even though they feel hungry, tired or even the call of nature.
To win in a contest there must be a strategy. Each of them has his/her own strategy. For Tibo, he make sure to make minimal movements while for Paul Jake, he massaged his foot to ease the pain. And for the winner Melai, she did it in a psychological way by singing and getting inspiration from Jason.
They kept themselves warm by having blankets, socks or anything. They distracted themselves so they will not fall asleep or feel drowsy. Some drank coffee and also some of them splashed some water on his/her face. Nine hours after, all three were still standing strong.
At first, they can still stand and sit down as long as they are on the platform but on the next queue, sitting down was forbidden. Still, the 3 of them stood strong and firm. At the 3rd queue, only one foot is allowed which made the test more difficult. Paul Jake lost his balanced and had fallen to the pool while Tibo chose to give up. This makes Melai to cry out for joy.
This makes Melai the first housemate for the big 4. So who are the other three?

This is one of the Finns’ favorite outdoor activities. All that’s required is a pair of inexpensive, lightweight walking poles. Holding these in your hands aids balance, which is great if you’re older or if you’re on slippery terrain. Even better: Because they make you use muscles in your shoulders, arms, and torso, the poles transform walking into a total-body workout that burns 20 percent more calories,
according to a study at the Cooper Institute in Dallas. Winter or summer, it’s a simple way to derive more fat-reducing benefit from your regular walk.
