With the HoH title stuck in the level 1 house, five level 2 housemates were nominated for possible eviction. At this point, the nomination and eviction process were seemingly dysfunctional. Level 2 housemates would have a very rough time with nominations continuing to remain in their house. Although the game was enjoyable and highly competitive, I couldn’t help but notice one ninja’s big ass. Fascinating!

Despite struggling not to be overly emotional about this show, there was an obvious truth. If the level 1 housemates stood against level 2, they would all leave the house before any level 2 housemate leaves. The strongest men in the game had been put in a disadvantageous position. Following the ‘mumu’ trends on Twitter, an angry BBN stan referred to Big Brother as mumu because of these nominations. It would be really sad if there was no alternative.

I saw a random hot take on Twitter and I couldn’t agree less. In fact, this hot take actually mirrored my feelings about Groovy. A certain viewer opined that the thing about Groovy that kept the ladies coming was his availability. They even called him cheap and easy to get. Think of it this way, if there were more choices of men in an open space, Groovy wouldn’t stand a chance because there’s really nothing spectacular about him asides from his height. However, filtered by the most present in limited space, Groovy is the hot cake in the house.

On the other hand, Phyna, whose head we thought was really in the game was slacking. Though I prefer to take it that she was exploring this emotional phase either as a strategy to remain in the house or to not run out of content. It was soothing to know that she is not up for eviction because we couldn’t wait for how things unveil for her and the house.

Furthermore, Khalid opened up to Ebuka about Daniella. He said that he was sure about what they had. However, we would have sworn that we were sure about Groovy and Beauty too, so the turn of events might not be as expected. Ebuka asked how he would react to Daniella moving on. Though he seemed optimistic, he had accepted that it was a possibility, and he was probably going to deal with it.

Meanwhile, we saw the level 2 housemates having an endless clash of personalities. Despite trying to put their differences aside, Sheggz and Adekunle established by their actions that they couldn’t coexist. Meanwhile, Allysyn who had been of good conduct had enough yesterday. Chomzy’s position on Allysyn’s situation with Adekunle seemed really uncomfortable and Allysyn thought Chomzy should mind her damn business. Amaka and Phyna decided to engage in a meaningful conversation as they didn’t want Groovy to cause a strain on their friendship. I guess they were on the same side now.

Finally, the voting is on and as usual, the competition is super-hot. So, if you have a favourite you should vote to keep them in the game. The five housemates up for eviction are Kess, Groovy, Amaka, Chizzy, Daniella, and Modella. And you can vote on Showmax, DSTV, mobile, etc. The remaining nine level 2 housemates felt the heat and I’m sure you can feel it too. Stay tuned for more super-duper content.
