We Asked A Few Young Nigerians About Their BBNaija Predictions This Season

Our mid-season predictions are in

Written by The Native - 12.Aug.2021

Late last month, the popular television show, Big Brother Naija returned to screens nationwide. Once again, battle lines were drawn as it was time to form rivalries, bet against the odds and boost viewers’ favourite contestants closer to the show’s whopping cash prize and brand endorsements. In real-time, we’ve continued to witness the power of the reality show and its ability to start and end careers across a range of industries.

While the Shine Ya Eye season may have kicked off to incredible fanfare, dig deep enough and you’ll find that there’s an ongoing conversation that this season isn’t quite racking in as many views as its previous seasons. Blame it on the Twitter ban or the opening of major cities around the world, including Lagos, or even the clear dearth of sponsored arena games for the housemates, there’s no denying that the way in which many of us consume Big Brother Naija is changing.

For those devoted viewers who tune in 24/7, there have been glimmers of hope this season. This year, the producers have cracked it up several notches by adding a few twists and surprises to this year’s edition. It began right from the onset with the announcement of a double entrance weekend for the male and female contestants and followed through to the introduction of wildcards this season. Since then, it’s been one twist after another with last weekend’s eviction show resulting in the introduction of new housemates to the mix after two weeks of shooting this season. If that doesn’t belong on the BB Naija hall of fame then I don’t know what is. I am definitely looking forward to what else Biggie has under his sleeve.

As the season continues to unfold and we continue to see and learn more about each of the housemates, it’s hard to not play favourites. Already, stan rivalries are developing at an exponential rate, and the competition is getting tougher as we inch towards the season finale and the Big Brother Season 6 winner. To that end, we spoke to a few young BB Naija superfans about their predictions for the new season. From deliberating on the most likely to have the biggest fanbase to the most likely to get in a situationship, here are the predictions for the Shine Ya Eye season. Enjoy.

Most likely to have the biggest fanbase

Prior to making her way into the Big brother house, Liquorose has already made a name for herself in the entertainment platform as a talented and well-recognised dancer. Currently, her following has gone up as high as 1 million + followers on Instagram. The most out of all the housemates.

Most likely to get into some drama

Angel is another strong character in the Big Brother house. Her sultry and free-spirited demeanor seems to have put her into conflict with other housemates and the viewers have regarded her to be too loose with her dressing and interaction with other housemates. Angel is one of the few authentic housemates in the house and sometimes being yourself may not always get the best reaction.

Most likely to star in a blockbuster

Pere is the ladies man with his alluring and jazzy smooth voice and manipulative traits, all the attributes needed to become make it big and be a globe-throttling movie star. Although he won’t be new to the movie scene as he has been featured in various Nollywood movies and shoes before making his way into Biggie’s house

Most likely to get into a situationship

Maria + Pere – these two wild cards have coincidentally found themselves in some form of attraction towards each other although Maria tends to push back, Pere still charges to ensure his feelings and affections are known. Keep an eye on these two in and outside the house as the game progresses.

Most likely to vote out their close friend

I think Sammie is definitely the housemate that will smile in your face and vote you out in private. After watching this season for the past few weeks, it’s clear that he definitely has values that I don’t align with and he completely loses his head when he doesn’t get his way. I know it’s a game and I know that you’ll undeniably have to cote out someone that you are close but someone’s got to be the villain.

Most likely to become the BB Naija Season 6 Winner

Whitemoney has found the key to our hearts with his mix of Igbo and English vocabulary, his funny jokes, and overall interactions with everyone. He is known mainly for his domesticated and hard-working attributes shown off in the house as he does most if not all the cooking in the house and cleans also. He’s definitely one to watch out for.
