Following the first All Stars individual nomination, the housemates trooped into the diary room one after the other to tell Biggie about the reasons behind their various nominations, their wager task preparations, among other things.
Emotions vs. Strategy
In the Big Brother house, emotions and strategy have both played key roles in how the housemates make their decisions, and yesterday's nomination process was an example. The nominated housemates (Angel, Seyi, Pere, Adekunle and Ike) tried to make sense of their nomination, and it was a revealing session. For Seyi, his nomination has him questioning loyalty. Pere and Adekunle on the other hand, were not surprised, as they both let Biggie know that their nomination reminded them of their seasons. Angel was anxious, and Ike said he was going to make himself feel better by finding more money coins.
Thoughts about Doyin's reign
Barely 24 hours into her reign, the housemates have a lot to say concerning Doyin's reign as Head of House. Indifference and nonchalance were some of the words used to describe Doyin's leadership style. Many felt that she wasn't taking her responsibilities seriously and wasn't stern, which made Pere and Angel predict chaos in the house this week. Doyin's choice of BFFs wasn't spared scrutiny either. Some housemates, such as Ceec, maintained that it feels like they have 'heads' of house. Ilebaye shared similar sentiments as she said, "Her assistants will help her rule the house." Ilebaye also mentioned that she was disappointed and sad that Doyin didn't make her one of her BFFs and even though they were not on speaking terms, the latter could have at least tried to include her. In her words, "The thing pain me sha." Will Doyin and Ilebaye bury the hatchet and become friends again? Only time will tell.
As housemates navigate this week, prepare for their wager task, and interact with one another, there is a possibility that the house environment might force the housemates to confront each other over choices made and find a way to get along. Perhaps through conversations, they will find common ground and navigate whatever obstacles this week will throw their way.
