…as organisers announce new features
Season 8 of the Big Brother Naija reality TV show tagged “All Stars edition”, which started on the 23 July 2023, took an exciting turn on Sunday, 30 July, as the show host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, announced the addition of a few new features to change the dynamics of the show.
According to him, a judge or a jury would be introduced into the All Stars Edition and the judge or jury would determine who will be evicted at every eviction show on Sunday. Previously, votes by viewers had been responsible for saving or evicting a housemate from the BBNajia house.
The jury, composed of ex-housemates of BBNaija, would be present in the next eviction show. They will be presented with the bottom housemates based on votes, from which they would deliberate and pick the housemates who get evicted, he said.
Ebuka also announced that the ‘black envelope’, which was introduced during the Head of House challenge last week, would be retained to decide which of the housemates apart from the Head of House would be immune from possible eviction in the week.
He said there would be more announcements by Biggie as the show is set to bring new directions and more entertainment to the fans.
Meanwhile, there was a fake eviction show on Sunday, which put the housemates on their toes. They were, however, relieved when the show host announced that there was no eviction. But for the viewers, there was no anxiety since it was clear that the first eviction show would be a fake one.
During the live show on Sunday, Ebuka made the housemates relax and threw questions randomly, leading to a debate between housemates Mercy Eke, Cross and Frodd over which gender deserves to win.
The debate started with a question by Ebuka to Mercy on her discussion during last week as regards a woman deserving to win the show. Mercy reiterated her statements and made it clear that she definitely wasn’t for the female rivalry and would want to see women supporting themselves hand in hand to win the game.
Doyin didn’t totally agree with Mercy as she felt the rivalry was something that could never stop between the ladies.
Ebuka asked the men their opinion and Cross expressed that men deserved to win as women were luckier outside the house after the show.
“The fact is that women always get it more easier outside…you can’t win extra inside and go out and win more outside,” Cross said.
When asked why men don’t win outside, he responded, “Because they don’t have big bum bum and big breasts.”
His response caused an uproar amongst the housemates but was quickly stopped by Ebuka.
We look forward to all the drama that this week brings.
The BBNaija reality TV show, which entered its second week, is headlined by one of Nigeria’s leading mobile financial service providers, Moniepoint.
