Housemates now know that their final fate is in their own hands, what will they do?

The best thing about change is that whether you like it or not, you have no choice but to deal with it. In the Big Brother Naija House, the changes have just started and won’t stop until a winner is crowned.

The new lovers

Besides the obvious difference in the number of Housemates, the biggest change to go on in Biggie’s house was one related to ‘ships. Kiddwaya’s attraction to Erica has been a badly kept secret, but yesterday the pair reached an important milestone. Erica had long been wary of kids smooth-talking ways and had even confronted him about his flirty nature and lack of discretion. While sharing a blanket while lying on the couch after the Live Show, Erica and Kiddwaya got closer than they have ever been before. Kiddwaya was thickly laying on his usual romantic ramblings and tried to pull Erica’s head in closer for a kiss.

At first, she resisted, but after a few more attempts, Erica allowed their lips to lock and gave us all hope that Vee and Neo won’t be the only ‘ship in the House. Rather than continue making out, Erica soon left Kiddwaya to retire to bed and leave us all wondering if this was a slip up which was never to be repeated, or the beginning of our next flaming hot romance. On the opinion front the reactions wer mixed with some heralding the launch of this new ‘ship, and others wishing that it will sink immediately.

Eviction ain’t fiction
The last two weeks with our Housemates have been a joy to watch as they bonded and shared so many of their hopes and dreams with us that we all feel as if we know them intricately. That facade came tumbling down when Ebuka informed the Housemates that Ka3na’s and Lilo’s stay had come to an end. The announcement brought a sombre mood over the Housemates who spent a great part of the evening after the Live Show contemplating how truly finite their time in House is. Some Housemates shed tears for their Evicted friends like Dorathy, while more emotionally calculating individuals like Brighto remained too focused on the game to let it affect them. Since the Housemate’s now know that the final decision rests in the hands of the people they came into the House with, it will be interesting to see if that fact changes their interpersonal interactions.

Nobody can predict big brother o 🙆🙆🙆

Single and ready to mingle
After being boo’d up since arriving in Biggie’s House, it’s hard to believe that Eric and Lilo are now a memory. The question on everyone’s minds is if the handsome hunk will be able to stay single for the duration of his stay? Many promises were made between Lilo and Eric about fidelity but promises don’t mean anything in the heat of the moment, and the majority of the other female Housemates would love to heat up Eric and have a moment with him of their own.

With two weeks done and eight left to go, all the Housemates have to do is stay focused and play their way to N85 Million worth of winnings. Sadly like most things, it’s going to be much easier to say than done.
