Based on the developments from the Sunday Night eviction show, the true psychological strategies are set to unfold in the Big Brother “No Loose Guard” house.
Following the unexpected evictions of the Custodians from the first two weeks of BBNaija, Biggie executed another twist by eliminating the Custodian role and reinstating immunity for the Head of House.
This recent decision by Biggie signals the end of the initial phase of the game, and here are the reasons why it will reveal the genuine competition among the housemates:
Hitting the home stretch: With just seven weeks remaining in the season, Biggie has chosen to eliminate any semblance of predictability in BBNaija. The house will no longer have a Custodian, the Head of House (HoH) will no longer utilize a ballot system, and housemates will now nominate each other. The HoH will regain immunity but will not have the authority to save or replace anyone. This change clearly indicates to the housemates that the time of comfort and routine has ended, paving the way for strategic gameplay and potential betrayals.
The Cats of Many Lives: For three consecutive weeks, the Radicals have upheld their reputation by remaining in the bottom four while managing to evade eviction. Based on the voting figures, it is evident that the duo lacks a substantial fan base. They must now recognize that their continued presence in the competition has largely been due to fortune, which may not suffice in the future. To avoid being nominated for eviction, they will need to engage strategically with their fellow housemates this week.
The Threats Cards: In week four, a notable trend will likely surface as pairs begin to nominate housemates they view as potential threats. With only 10 pairs remaining and seven weeks until the finale, it is crucial to strategically play the cards that enhance your chances of success. We can certainly anticipate several weeks filled with intense psychological tactics within the house.
Conservative Use of Power: The experience of wielding authority in the "No Loose Guard" house has revealed itself to be a significant pitfall, as illustrated by the experiences of the last two Custodians. Following the eviction of Ndi Nne through their Custodian powers last week, Streeze faced eviction the subsequent week at the hands of their fellow housemates, all of whom nominated them. Considering the rapid transformation of those in power into antagonists within a mere week, it would not be unexpected for future Heads of Household to adopt an overly amicable demeanor.
Tricky Week For The Female Twins: During the third week, the house custodians, Wanni and Handi, found themselves in constant conflict with Floruish, culminating in a heated exchange of insults when Floruish was evicted on Sunday. This incident sparked discussions among fans on social media, who perceive the twins as increasingly toxic and aggressive. If other housemates share this viewpoint, they may face the possibility of eviction in the fourth week. A challenging week lies ahead for this duo.
