BBNaija 2020: Housemates Clash Over Food …As Ebuka Unveils Two Major Twists
The lockdown house got a bit intense yesterday morning following major arguments all revolving around chores and Big Brother’s food.
Housemates, Ka3na and Tolanibaj had a brutal face-off which interestingly, comes as a surprise as Tolanibaj in the past week, appeared calm and non-confrontational.
This week is a clear contrast as the housemate may have retrieved her mojo after Sunday night’s eviction announcement.
Following the drama-filled morning, Big Brother treated the housemates to a yoga session, clearly to help the housemates with the chill pill some desperately needed. Hopefully, the long minutes of meditation might help with the tension.
Away from the eviction notice, the latest drama also comes as no surprise. After the new HOH’s Monday night address, it became apparent that the week would spell all hands on deck’ in caps for all housemates especially those who fancied lazying around while others cleaned and cooked.
Recall Lucy won the week’s head of house challenge, beating Neo and Ozo to the highest dice number.
Holidays are over for the BBNaija Lockdown housemates as the Sunday night eviction show heralds the beginning of nominations.
For the first Sunday night eviction, show host, Ebuka caught up with the housemates on highlights from the previous week. Nengi and Wathoni shared their HOH and deputy experience and challenges.
In the wake of their experiences, Ebuka grilled housemates who had axes to grind. For the Wathoni and Ka3na saga, the former revealed she felt defeated by Ka3na’s reaction during the week.
For Lucy and Kaisha, both agreed that they had both resolved their issues although Kaisha blamed Lucy’s overreaction on attempting to trend.
Amid the recap and housemates reactions, Ebuka unveiled two major twists to this season of the reality show.
Kicking off from Monday, all housemates will be up for possible eviction excluding the week’s Head of House and deputy. Another interesting twist is that housemates will be mandated by Big Brother to vote out housemates with the least votes during their diary sessions and the losing housemate(s) will be evicted live on Sunday.
