(3)Jury for Eviction
This season of the show featured a few twists, one of which was the introduction of an eviction jury, which consisted of former residents tasked with deciding whether a housemate nominated for eviction that week stayed or left.
Following the outrage caused by the eviction of certain housemates, which netizens regarded harsh, organizers eventually cancelled this elimination process.
Mike, Saskay, Bisola, Dorathy, Elozonam, and Vee were among the jury members.
4)Reunion of Ex-Lovers and Foes
Fans of the reality program had no idea what to expect from ex-lovers Mercy Eke and Ike, as well as ex-friends Alex and Cee-C’s stint in the house, as all four made headlines for weeks after the seasons they participated in ended.
When the four were reunited for this season of the reality show, they were all friendly.
(5) Adekunle Olopade, also known as Adekunle, emerged as this season’s head of the house, gaining him exemption from eviction that week.
(6) Black Envelope Test
Mercy won the first ‘black envelope challenge,’ a new wrinkle devised by the organizers that grants immunity from eviction that week to any resident who discovers it.
(7) Additional houseguests
Biggie welcomed four ‘house visitors’ to his ‘Biggieverse’: ex-Big Brother Naija housemates Lucy, Prince, Kim Oprah, and Omashola.
