“Big Brother Naija: All-Star Edition” took a shocking turn on Sunday night when the jury voted for Kidwaya, who happened to receive the fewest votes. After a week of intense drama, strikes and strict Big Brother interactions, fans have had mixed reactions to his exit.
Host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu set the tone for the evening, starting with a question about the stairwell kiss between Kiddwaya and Mercy. Messi denied knowing anything about their secret kiss, claiming afterwards that she was drunk, while Kidwaya said it was a small kiss that he didn’t expect to be caught on camera. It seems like they forgot that Big Brother has eyes everywhere, and he’s always watching.
As anticipation of deportation grew, jury members — Saskay from “Shine Your Eye” season, Elozonam from “Pepper Dem” season and Vee from “Lockdown” season — learned from the last two Kidds. Their rulings are given in Kiddwaya and Tolani Baj. They decided to save Toranibai because of her “situation” with Neo, and fans were divided on that decision, especially Vee, who had hoped to send Toranibai away. Interestingly, their decision was in line with the voters, with Kidwaya getting only 1.95% of the total vote, while Tolanibhai got 2.03%. Controversial roommate Seyi also finished in the bottom three with 2.66 percent of the vote.
Kidwaya managed to captivate viewers earlier this season with his amusing demeanor and tactical skills. Still, audiences were divided on his strategy, as they couldn’t reconcile it with his “blocked” persona. Ultimately, his constant intrigue cost him some much-needed votes and landed him at the bottom of the pack and at the mercy of the jury. Ebuka shocked the roommates by announcing the eviction of Kidwaya. As he bids farewell to the home of big brother Naija, viewers wonder how his departure will affect the dynamic of the game.
Before the evening ended, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu warned housemates to be very careful about the strong opinions they shared in the house, noting that their image was at stake. It was a response to a disappointing after-party on Saturday night, suggesting organizers disapproved of some of the remarks in the house.
Ebuka also noted that fans should expect new twists that will add new drama. To that end, four new houseguests – Prince and Lucy from “Lockdown Season” and Omashola and Kim Oprah from “Pepper Dem Season” – arrive. The audience expects “non-gamers” to inject new energy into the game. The arrival of Biggie House guests is sure to shake up the alliance and stir up further drama. 4 guests are not competing for the N120 million cash prize.
Their addition, however, means the stakes are a little higher now, as gameplay is sure to change. Going forward, fans will have to vote even harder to ensure their favorite makes it to the finale.
