Twists, Turns As 16 Housemates Exit BB Naija 2019
As the 2019 edition of popular reality TV show, Big Brother Naija gradually comes to an end, there are interesting twists and turns thereby bringing out the survival instincts of housemates.
Big Brother himself always keeps the housemates on their toes and make them prepare for the unexpected with new tasks and games every other day.
Last Sunday, United Kingdom based Nigerian, Khafi became the 16th housemate to exit the Big Brother house, thereby leaving just four females in the house to contend with their male folks.
During last Sunday’s live eviction, the show host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu had announced that there will be no eviction this Sunday unknown to the remaining housemates.
However, housemates were asked to make their nominations on Monday and in the end, Cindy, Frodd, Diane and the one and only ‘Lamborghini Mercy’ as fondly called by fans were put up for ‘fake’ eviction.
While Tacha was celebrating for not being up for eviction again this Sunday, Frodd on his part seemed sad and tensed and wished that he could escape eviction every week.
On Monday Biggie gave the housemates opportunity to make purchases with the coins they have earned in the course of the programme.
To this end, Diane booked a spar session with Elozonam, while Mercy pleaded for more coin from Mike and bought immunity from eviction next week; meaning that she (Mercy) will not be up for possible eviction next week.
Meanwhile, the social media is again buzzing, as to many fans are forming cliques and campaigning for the preferred housemates they will like to see win the N60 million prize money on day 99. We can only wait and see how things turn out in the coming days.
