After 21 days in the Big Brother Naija House, (BBNaija ) the first live eviction took place on Sunday night with four housemates who had the least number of votes being eased out through the usual eviction process.
Two hours before the live eviction show, Khloe and K.Brule (K-Square) was disqualified from the show after violating the house rules three times as a pair.
Recall that K.Brule incurred the first strike after injuring his wrist and ankle in the first week, following a rejection of his romantic advance to female housemate Anto, thereby violating a section of the house rule on self-inflicted violence. The last two strikes occurred Saturday night when Khloe was seen in a playback video referring to K.Brule as a ‘bastard’. The third and last strike was incurred by K.Brule who was seen in another video physically assaulting another housemate, Dee-One.
Apart from the K-Square who left the house despite their immunity from normal eviction, the pair of Leo and Alex (LeoLex) was excluded from the eviction fever this week, as they had been saved through Khloe’s veto as Head of House last week.
The first to be evicted, as announced by host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu during the live eviction show in Johannesburg, South Africa was Princess and Bitto (PriTo) with 3.5 percent of the total votes cast. This was followed by the pair of Dee-One and Vandora (VanDee) who happened to be the housemates with the least public votes with 2.98 percent.
Bitto said he had expected the eviction, adding that the longest he wanted to stay in the House was two weeks, but it turned out he did three weeks. This was just as Princess too admitted she felt a bit downcast after doing a recap of her journey in the House. On why she kept asking Bitto if he was married, she said she needed to know because it was a strategic partnership. Thus, when Ebuka asked Bitto on the stage if he was truly married, he answered in the negative. Bitto had been wearing a band which he said belongs to his mother. He said he brought it to the House to help him focus on the game.
When Dee-One and Vandora joined Ebuka on stage, Vandora said they might have been evicted because they were not into a romantic relationship like others, while Dee-One thought his utterances as a comedian might have put him in the bad books of some people. On reports about being married, he said he decided to keep that out of the game. Vandora however said she suspected he was married due to the way he carried himself in the house.
The live eviction made six, the number of expelled housemates in one day, leaving the remaining 14 housemates to continue the competition.
This season, the housemates are playing in pairs, thus, if a housemate gets a reward or punishment, the partner is also at the receiving end.
The show kicked off with Ebuka introducing music act, OritseFemi who did a remix of his ‘Double Wahala’ hit song, a title which incidentally is the theme of this year’s show. His second song, ‘Ongba Larami’ equally got the studio guests dancing.
Before the second set of eviction was announced, the show also had Mr 2Kay on the stage, doing his ‘Belema’ song.
