Never in Big Brother Naija history e don hard to predict winner like dis. Unlike previous seasons when fans fit often identify likely winner weeks before finale, Season 11 don change di script. Nobody fit say for sure which of di remaining nine finalists, following Keivo disqualification during di week after physical altercation with fellow housemate Tram, go eventually emerge as winner.
Barry, Bluethopia, Sheba, Aikou, Flora, Temi Nkem, Ricky, Oyin and Tram each hold dia own, but none don emerge as clear favourite. Not even BBNaija aficionados fit confidently call am. Dat uncertainty make tonight finale even more intriguing as curtains fall on anoda season.
While many argue say di season no generate as much buzz as di last one, im unpredictability no dey deny. Even di housemates often hard to read. Few would have expected Keivo, who appear playful and easy-going, to lose him cool and physically confront Tram. Di young man since take responsibility for him actions.
Perhaps di most interesting part of di Show Ya Sef season, however, na im eviction surprises. Not a few viewers expect Mercedes to be di first housemate evicted, while Chimsom Chuka also no widely expected to miss di finale. Di bottom three don continually change over di course of di season, with some housemates who appear vulnerable earlier never returning to that position.
Tonight, dat unpredictability reach im climax. Whoever take home di N160 million grand prize fit no be di name most viewers expect when di season begin.
BBNaija Season 11 finale dey underway, with housemates dey evicted one after anoda as competition move towards final two. Di season start with 24 housemates before di number eventually reduce to 10 finalists. However, Kievo was disqualified during di week following incident involving violent conduct, leaving nine housemates to battle for di crown. Di nine finalists na Temi Nkem, Barry, Tram, Oyin, Flora, Sheba, Aikou, Ricky and Bluethopia.
Following di latest eviction, three housemates remain for di competition: Temi Nkem, Sheba and Aikou. More evictions dey expected as di live finale dey progress, with di competition set to narrow down to di final two. One of di final two housemates go eventually be crowned winner of BBNaija Season 11 and take home di N160 million prize package. Di finale dey therefore enter im decisive stage, with di remaining contestants now just a few steps away from di ultimate prize.
