daniel chigunweABUJA. – Sunday night’s Big Brother Naija live show was filled with surprises, revealations and multiple evictions – the perfect lead-up to this week’s hotly anticipated and highly contested Season 9 finale.
Aptly described by host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu as a “rollercoaster of a night”, three housemates were booted out of Biggie’s house during the eviction show.
This leaves eight contestants to battle it out for the coveted title of ‘Big Brother Naija Winner’: Anita, Nelly, Ocee, Onyeka, Victoria, Sooj, Kellyrae and Wanni.
We were barely five minutes in when the first eviction took place. It was Kassia, whose hubby Kellyrae was head of house and, therefore, guaranteed a place in this week’s finale.
Asked whether being in the house with her husband prevented her from having the full BBNaija experience, Kassia said: “I don’t think I was limited, I enjoyed myself. I’m (also) not the kind of person that flirts with guys.”
After his wife was evicted, Kellyrae revealed to his remaining housemates that he and Kassia were actually a married couple.
He received a range of reactions, from shock and confusion to excitement.
In keeping with the topic of love, Ebuka asked Sooj about his relationship with Nelly.
“She’s my favourite person in the house outside of Topher. She’s someone that I’ve gotten a soft spot for… [but] there’s no title to it.”
Anita and Topher had no issues labelling themselves as “lovers”, much to the studio audience’s excitement. That heart-warming encounter was cut short, as Topher was next to be evicted. – Multichoice
