BBTitans: Four Housemates Evicted From Show
After a quiet fortnight with zero evictions, the stakes suddenly got a lot higher with two pairs – four housemates in total – being evicted from the house during tonight’s live show, making it a lot emptier suddenly.
This comes after what has already been a tough week: unrequited love, a failed wager task, and arguments have marked the week as possibly the toughest the housemates have had to endure since the game started. Some of them might have seen this coming, of course: as we’ve said so many times, simple maths would have told them that big cuts were on the way. There are only so many weeks of the game left, after all.
While the housemates may have expected a rough night, witnessing it actually go down is another thing. Yemi Cregx, Nelisa, Juicy Jay, and Olivia were the unlucky four who were told to make their way out of the front door, tonight, and we’re certain they had the hardest time with the whole thing.
During her diary session earlier today, Nelisa mentioned that she was feeling nervous, although she was trying to remain positive. She said that the mood in the house has been getting better because the housemates have realised that they have no control over what happens during the live show – she certainly had that right. Yemi, on the other hand, felt that the mood in the house was “dragging”, which seems to comport with what we’ve seen going on.
Following their exit from the house and their entrance on stage, Yemi Cregx was slow to adjust to the new environment. “I don’t know what I’m doing here, I should be in there, right now.” We suppose 49 days in the same house can have that effect. When asked about her semi-ship with Thabang, Nelisa said, “I really like Thabang, he’s such a genuine soul when he wants to be.” She did express concern that he is now in the house, alone with Khosi. “There’s a certain someone we left in the house, right Yemi?”
As for Juicy Jay and Olivia, both told Biggie that they partied up a storm during the Saturday Night Party, so at least they leave with a good memory to finish off their stay. Looking back, Juicy Jay felt that he had always been encouraging to other housemates, a sentiment with which we have to agree. He was positivity, personified. Olivia said that not being up for eviction can make one feel the pressure more, because you have to remain sensitive to others’ feelings.
Speaking to Lawrence and Ebuka, Juicy Jay remained positive. “I don’t think I did anything wrong. I enjoyed my time in the house.” That’s a good attitude to have. When pressed about her tendency to gossip, Olivia pushed back with, “I don’t gossip, I call it ‘analysing’.” Which is funny if a little bit inaccurate.
And with that, the house suddenly finds itself reduced to 12. Spare a thought for Khosi, who has just lost her bae, and Yvonne, who must feel like she’s just had surgery after her permanent lip-lock with Juicy has just been so rudely severed. On the other hand, we might finally discover what Thabang really thinks of Nelisa now that she’s no longer around to make her moves, and absence has a chance to make the heart grow fonder.
As they signed out of tonight’s show, Lawrence and Ebuka urged viewers to tune in to Monday’s live eviction show as everyone would expect a “unique twist”. We’re not sure what that might mean, until Monday.

“Long face sent killers my way, and I have not even posted anything. Bro, is this necessary? You tried to take my life. Really?” he said, visibly shaken in the footage.
The rapper further expressed his disbelief, saying, “I never talk anything he don dey send killers, what is he scared of! That means am right.”
Though he did not explicitly identify the person behind the alleged attack, his comments have fueled speculation that the incident may be linked to his recent controversies and publicized detention.
Recall that Speed Darlington had been released from Kuje prison, where he had been held for undisclosed charges.
His lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has previously suggested that the Afrofusion star Burna Boy played a role in the rapper’s detention.
Authorities have yet to comment on the matter, and an investigation is reportedly underway.

She also suggested that the true details behind their separation would eventually come to light, adding, “We know what is going on behind closed doors.

A handful of people know the truth, and time will tell.”
Toke concluded her message by highlighting the importance of timing and empathy in handling personal matters, especially when it involves high-profile individuals like 2Baba and Annie.
“You constantly preach love; you cannot add to the narrative that’s out there when you know what is really happening behind closed doors,” she stated.
