• Biggie’s housemates definitely lied and deceived us in the first two weeks. 

    They tried to be demure, mindful, and cutesy, but obviously, that didn’t last long. Big Brother’s children have finally remembered whose house they’re in and have started giving us back-to-back drama. Now, we can guess the pair that’ll most likely walk away with Biggie’s money.

    Radicals

    Fairme and Michkey obviously don’t know their audience, and it doesn’t look like they even want to. They’ve been in the bottom four twice in a row, and instead of changing their game plan, which is currently just sexual jokes and giving everyone the ick, they’ve decided to stick to it. If we’re being honest, that’ll be their downfall because how many times will the custodians save you?

    Chances of winning the money:  0.5. The only way they’ll win that money is if the housemates forget they’re there and they sneak their way to the finals, which is highly unlikely.

    Beta

    We don’t even know how Big Brother let Ben’s leaking mouth and Tjay’s silence in the house, but we highly doubt they’ll last long. They’re currently surviving off Tjay’s connections, and that’s because Ben won’t stop making crass jokes that piss everyone off.

    Chances of winning the money: 2. The second Big Brother scraps custodianship, and the housemates select who stays or goes. The viewers will send Ben out of that house, and Tjay will be collateral damage.

    Floruish

    The fact that they decided to spell their pair name like that aside, Rhuthee and Dj Flo are a very interesting pair. While Rhuthee is building castles in her head and waging imaginary battles with the other female housemates because of Mayor Frosh, Dj Flo has decided becoming Chinwe’s shadow is more important than the ₦100m. They’re doing their best to entertain us, but Rhuthee and her delulu might be their downfall.

    Chances of winning the money: 3, but only if Ruthee’s team finally sits up and Dj Flo finds a better storyline for herself.

    Streeze

    Mayor Frosh and Toby Forge came into Big Brother’s house with a shipping agenda. Mayor Frosh may have finally landed one, but that isn’t going to help him and his partner. 

    Chances of winning the money: 3. If Toby Forge can magically make Kassia return whatever he’s feeling and come between Double Kay,  they just might have a chance at the money. If not, nothing for them.

    Zinwe

    Chinwe already threatened everyone with a voluntary exit, so we’re quite surprised that Zion and his sugar mama are still there. Chinwe is trying her best to give us drama, and Zion is serving fine boy realness, but the way they’re both moving, the housemates might send them packing the next time they touch the bottom four.

    Chances of winning the money: 4. They had a chance to win the shippers’ support, but their bad behaviour got in the way.

    Double Kay

    We know everyone feels like they might be strong, but we really don’t see it. Kassia is trying her best, but her husband has decided to blend in with Biggie’s furniture. They need to decide if they want to put their “housemates can’t know we’re married” storyline to use or go to their house.

    Chances of winning the money: 5. They’re sitting on the hottest storyline in Big Brother history, and if they put it to use, we’ll all have a blast.

    Nelita

    Nelly and Anita might have avoided Biggie’s cameras and drama for the first two weeks, but they’ve clearly decided to embrace it all this week. Since they won the HOH titles earlier this week, they’ve been giving us romance, sisterhood, and gbas gbos on all sides.

    Chances of winning the money: 5

    Mbadiwe twins

    Ozee and Ocee seem to have solidified themselves as the big brothers of the house. However, some housemates feel like they’ve started doing too much, giving unsolicited advice and being condescending.

    Chances of winning the money: 6. They’ve never been in the bottom four, and most of the housemates like them, for now.

    Aces

    Sooj and Topher might be the only housemates who know the power of connections this season. They’ve found themselves in ships with Nelly and Anita, avoided fights, and are just giving love, light, and low-key drama in Biggie’s house.

    Chances of winning the money: 7, but only if Topher’s influencer status helps them out.

    Shatoria

    Victoria and Shaun are on two different journeys in Biggie’s house. Shaun’s journey started on the very first day, when he started talking to Wanni, while Victoria’s journey just started this week. She spent the first two weeks blending into the background and keeping to herself, but now that she’s out of her shell, it’s looking like they might have a good chance at the money.

    Chances of winning the money: 8. With the Shanni shippers on their side and all the fans Victoia somehow gained from keeping quiet, they have a good chance of winning.

    Chekas

    When Big Brother opened his doors to Onyeka and Chizoba, we don’t think he knew he was bringing “gistlover” into his house. While Chizoba prefers to quietly win over the housemates, Onyeka has decided to answer the journalistic call, searching for and spreading information all over the house. It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s clearly working for her.

    Chances of winning the money: 9. They might have touched the bottom four in the first week, but their fans have sworn to drag them to the last day if they have to. 

    Wanni x Handi

    The twin DJs walked into Big Brother’s house with a mission. Wanni found herself on a ship in the first 24 hours. They’ve come together to fight any and everybody who has tried them, and they’ve never been anywhere near the bottom four.

    Chances of winning the money: 10. If the Chekas team doesn’t sit up, Wanni x Handi will walk away with Biggie’s ₦100m.

  • Nothing unites Nigerians more than the mess that comes with Big Brother Naija (BBNaija). The show hasn’t even been back for a week, and the internet is already in shambles, with ships and stans in full swing. There are two houses this year, and Gen Z housemates, so you know the show will give, and that’s on Sola Sobowale’s left knee. 

    With all that’s going on, I’ve put my fake psychology degree to use to tell you the Big Brother Naija: Level Up housemates to look out for and who has a shot at the prize money. 

    Bella

    Bella is already giving me the bad bitch energy that reminds me of some of my chaotic faves like Cee-C and Tacha. You know that female contestant who knows she’s the shit and isn’t scared to put you in your place? Yep, that’s Bella for sure. 

    She might not win, but don’t be surprised if you see her in the finale. 

    Sheggz

    A fine Yoruba man with a British accent? It’s giving red flags galore. This is the kind of guy who’ll break your heart, but you’ll still turn amala for him because he deserves to be pampered. Sheggz might not make it all the way, but if his dance moves are better than Kiddwaya’s, he might leave a good impression. 

    By the way, not even up to 24 hours in and Sheggz is already sailing a ship with Bella. What do we call this ship: Shella or Beggz? 

    Hermes

    Did somebody shout zazooo, but with an accent? Ladies, gentlemen and non-binaries, let’s say hello to Hermes, who just happens to be in a polyamorous relationship with two women. Yes! Even though Hermes looks like he practises yoga, listens to Jhene Aiko and minds his business, a part of me feels like he’ll bring a lot of drama to the show.

    Let’s see. 

    Adekunle

    Adekunle’s voice can get someone pregnant, no cap. But if I have to listen to one of his long-ass stories one more time, I’ll throw hands. Adekunle already has most of the internet thinking unheavenly thoughts, so I can see Nigerians voting for him. Will he win? Omo, I don’t think so. It’s not by voice, dears. 

    Allysyn 

    Is it a coincidence that the new Black Panther trailer dropped on the same day Allysyn joined the BBNaija house? I believe mercury must be in shuku. Allysyn’s looks caught my attention, but she’s been good vibes since she joined. Her team has also kicked off campaigns in full force. You’d think she was campaigning against one of the grandpas running for president

    Bryan

    A gen z contestant who gives off alté vibes? Inject it! This is the representation we’ve all been fighting for since independence, and now, we have it. Bryan is an upcoming musician, so be prepared to have his music forced down your throat. 

    He looks like he has the swag and gragra that’ll take him to the finals. Am I wrong? Well, we’ll have to find out. 

    Phyna 

    This was Phyna’s fifth time auditioning for BBNaija, so you know this babe means business. In less than 48 hours, Phyna has trapped her housemates with her cooking and become a meme, thanks to this video and this too. 

    Phyna seems likeable in a Whitemoney way, so I can see her going all the way. 

    Khalid

    It might be too early to say, but I know Khalid’s strategy. You know those candidates who’re so quiet and friendly with everyone they rarely get nominated for eviction? Yes, I have a feeling that’s Khalid. We probably won’t notice him for half of the show, but best believe we’ll all be shocked when he cracks the top ten. 

    Beauty 

    Remember the Gordon’s-inspired Erica Drama from BBNaija Lockdown? I see something like that happening with Beauty. This babe gives “If you say rubbish, I will insult your entire generation” energy, and I’m living for it. I love people who wake up with vawulence on their mind, and Beauty looks like she’ll bring that level of drama. 

    Kess

    Honestly, I don’t see much of a personality yet. But a married man in the BBNaija house? I know it’s about to get messy. Nigerians will either love him for being faithful like Mike or turn on him like Thin Tall Tony. Which way? Well, we’ll have to see.
