Radicals leave the Big Brother Naija house on an energetic note… followed by a shocking twist from Biggie

By Namutebi Sumayiya

With the ominous tick of a mysterious countdown clock, a near-exposé that kept everyone on edge, and a jaw-dropping post-eviction twist, last night’s Big Brother Naija live show crackled with electrifying tension.

The live eviction show ended on a buzzing note, with dynamic duo Radicals leaving the house in good spirits. They were up against Aces, Wanni x Handi and DoubleKay, who were also on the chopping block.

Radicals came out to an excited, screaming audience, and were themselves very spirited and energetic. “You are leaving how you came in,” remarked impressed host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu. He then asked Fairme David why he had said he felt this would be Radicals’ final week in the house.

“I just knew,” Fairme declared. “I was ready to come out – I missed the outside world.”

When asked about their issues with twins Wanni x Handi, Michky said he expected a close connection with them, as he often gets on with twins: “I thought I would be close to them, but their attitude really [annoyed] me. I was not comfortable with it, so I just had to let it go.”

The week’s HoH were Shatoria, whose reign unfortunately took place during another wager loss for the housemates. With three losses in five weeks, things aren’t looking good for the housemates.

Shatoria handled the wager loss differently from each other. While Shaun was rallying fellow housemates to be positive and to take the loss as a learning curve, Victoria had to be comforted as she took the wager result personally.

Topher and Anita’s age-gate came to a head, with the former finally confessing his real age to the latter. When asked by Ebuka if the issue had finally been put to bed, Topher replied: “Yes, it’s sorted for good. Right now, we’re ready to move past it.” Only time will tell.

Secret husband and wife DoubleKay were nearly outed by Ebuka, who questioned Kassia about her relationship with Kellyrae, saying: “I’m pretty sure besties don’t kiss.” He pointed out that the duo always checks if the coast was clear before kissing. Kassia couldn’t answer Ebuka, giggling nervously instead.

Aside from the eviction, the biggest talking point since Saturday was the ominous 24-hour countdown clock that had housemates on edge and viewers posting. During the course of the eviction show, with less than an hour left on the clock, Ebuka only further stoked curiosity by hinting that a big reveal awaited – but not telling anyone what it was…

Over an hour after the eviction show ended, it was revealed what Biggie was counting down to: after praising the housemates for making it to the halfway mark of the show, he then dissolved the pairs. The housemates were visibly stunned, with some even breaking down in tears.

Biggie told the newly-split duos: “You will no longer be a passenger on someone else’s ride. You will no longer be allowed to be in another person’s shadow. You will now compete for yourself.”

To say this shifts dynamics in the house would be an understatement. Things can only get more heated and dramatic from here – it’s not to be missed!
