Context
In a recent twist in this season of Big Brother Naija, Biggie decided to separate each duo in the house, thus making it an individual game. Strategies are falling apart, alliances are crumbling and new strategies are yet to be formed.
What was said in this episode of Pulse Hot Takes?
On the voting polls
Davy Ben expressed his shock that Wanni X Handi were part of the bottom 3 in the voting polls.
He said, “Fans need to start voting because this is an eye opener, a reality check for them. They needed to see that they were the bottom three so that their fans can sit up.”
Kimmy K said, “This has been the most boring and uneventful week in BBNaija history. This particular season is dry and it’s not giving what a typical BBNaija season should give. Production is scrambling to find ways to save the show and make it interesting.”
“Last week was boring, nothing to look forward to,” Huttiey chimed in agreement.
On splitting up the pairs
Kimmy K said, “The housemates did not see it coming and it’s going to affect the gameplay of some of them. I’m interested to see how the individual play goes with the fan bases.”
Davy Ben expressed his displeasure regarding the separation of the teams, saying, “I’m not a fan of unpairing; you sold us a story from day one and we had never seen a show like this before. Unpairing them is a desperate act to save the show.”
“I think it was the plan all along because if we could see it from the beginning that they were going to get split up, why do you think they didn’t plan it?” Christabel asked.
Davy Ben also stressed that he would love to see new housemates added into this season.
