BBNaija 2023: Week Two
BBNaija 2023 All Stars organisers have introduced a new twist for nominations and eviction. Consequently from this week, judges will be introduced to the Big Brother All Stars show.
Ebuka (BBNaija All Stars 2023 host) said the judges who will comprise ex-BBNaija housemates from previous seasons, the judges will deliberate to save one of the Bbnaija All Stars 2023 housemates with the least votes.
“Starting next week, Biggie will introduce a Jury, made up of ex-housemates who will decide on the housemate that will be evicted.
“This will take place after the judges have been presented with the BBNaija All Stars housemates with the least vote.
“They are called the Eviction Jury and they’ll be in charge of evicting BBNaija All Stars 2023 housemates,” Ebuka said.
Big Brother told me that a jury made of these housemates will be live every Sunday for eviction moving forward. I will present them with the bottom housemates based on the votes. The jury will deliberate, vote and decide who should be evicted”.
The traditional BBNaija housemates nominating process has also been modified according to Ebuka (BBNaija All Stars 2023 host)
In Ebuka’s own words,’ Housemates need to sell themselves to each other and then go into the diary room and pardon one fellow housemate.
This replaces the usual nomination show, instead of going to the diary room and nominating a housemate to leave, you will nominate a housemate to stay in the house.
Day 9 in Big Brother Naija All Stars Season 8 House started with some cool vibes amongst the Big Brother Naija All-Stars 2023 housemates.
The Big Brother Naija All Stars 2023 housemates were informed by Big Brother about the new pattern of nomination. It was tagged “the pardon me please ” process. The Big Brother Naija 2023 housemates are to nominate a housemate each for pardon.
The 2nd head of house games in Bbnaija season 8 house started this evening and were divided into 2 stages, the housemates have to qualify from the first round to be able to move to the second round.
Kiddwaya emerged as the winner of the head-of-house game and will be the head-of-house for week two in the Big Brother Naija All Stars 2023 house.
The search for the black envelope came up immediately after the head of house games in the lounge. Angel found the black envelope that had an immunity slot.
Pardon Me Please Nomination Result for Week 2 BBNaija 2023
Below is how each of the Bbnaija All Stars housemates did their nomination for week 2;

Big Brother Naija 2023 Eviction Show
The BBNaija 2023 All Stars live eviction show takes place every Sunday at 7 p.m. (WAT). This season’s first eviction live show started at 7 pm (WAT) that night and Princess (Princess Onyejekwe Linda) was the first BBNaija season 8 housemate that was evicted from the Big Brother house.
BBNaija 2023: Week One
The Head of House challenge was held on Monday, the second day of the BBNaija 2023 housemates in the Big Brothers house. It was one of the most tedious and confusing heads-of-house challenges ever in the history of Big Brother Naija.
Big Brother tagged this challenge”the memory challenge’. 10 items were duplicated into 2 making them 20, and were placed on 20 tables and covered with cartons. Pictures showing the 10 items were also placed in a bowl. All these were placed in the arena.
The instruction was to open all the cartons one by one, noting the particular items placed there for 60 seconds. Then a song will play which they are to dance to for another 60 seconds, after which the Big Brother Naija 2023 housemates will have 5 minutes to pick a picture from the bowl and locate the already covered item on the table one by one.
Adekunle, the former level-up big brother Naija’s housemate emerged as the first Head of House for week one. The first Head of House had the privilege to choose 4 BFFs. The 4 chosen Big Brother Naija 2023 housemates can share/visit him in his head-of-house lounge. The new head of the house chose Seyi, Soma, Cross and Neo.
There was also the black envelope challenge, the Big Brother season 8 housemates were instructed to search for a black envelope in the Big Brother lounge. The envelope had some instructions which would be read by the Big Brother season 8 housemate that finds it first.
Mercy Eke, the Pepper dem gang season winner, found the black envelope first. The instruction read that the bearer of the envelope has immunity from the week’s nominations.
This week’s eviction nomination is a fake nomination but only the Head of House and the viewers are aware. The rest of Big Brother Naija 2023 housemates are not aware of this information.
Bbnaija season 8 nominations came with a twist. The Big Brother Naija 2023 housemates are allowed to discuss and conspire on who to nominate. The housemates can also tell each other who they selected.
Day 3 in the Big Brother house: The early hours of Wednesday morning (day 3 in the Big Brother house) came with a bout of violence between 2 Big Brother Naija 2023 housemates. Both housemates were former Bbnaija Double Wahala housemates.
The issue was a result of the wager preparation. The Big Brother Naija 2023 housemates were instructed to prepare a performance for their wager task. They were to act in a drama.
Alex volunteered to write a script, which she did. Some of the Big Brother Naija 2023 housemates had some contributions and changes to make to her work and this didn’t sit right with her.
Alex claimed that if those housemates had come to discuss the task presentation while she was writing the script, the unnecessary corrections could have been done then. She felt her work had been discredited.
Alex mentioned 4 housemates she claimed were not involved in the task preparation but have decided to discredit her work. Two of the housemates Uriel and Ceec did not take Alex’s comment lightly.
Uriel expressed her dissatisfaction with how Alex stated her facts and told her that as a creative person, she should be open to criticism.
Ceec on the other hand was already in an angry mood and was still explaining herself to other Bbnaija season 8 housemates when Alex interrupted her, which led to a heated argument between the two.
There was name calling and all sorts of things were said. Some of the Big Brother Naija 2023 housemates like Uriel, Venita and so on tried to separate the duo to avoid physical contact.
At some point, it was obvious that Alex was being provocative and was following Ceec around just to elicit some reaction from her.
In the end, the two parties calmed down and the task preparation continued. However, there is still tension in the Big Brother house, as this is the first major heated argument in the Big Brother Naija season 8 house.
The two parties (Alex and Ceec ) are yet to come together for reconciliation.
Day four in the Big Brother House. The day started with the usual morning routine exercise. After the exercise in the Bbnaija Allstars house, there was an argument between Pere of the Shine Ya Eye Big Brother Naija season and Venita of the Pepper dem Gang season.
The cause of the argument was not shown but it was quite heated and the two, Big Brother Naija 2023 housemates were seen to be exchanging words. However, the tension was abated by their fellow housemates.
The rift between Ceec and Alex seems to be unending as they had another clash. From the foregoing, it may seem as though Alex is on a mission to provoke Ceec. She has been poking and gaslighting Ceec at any little opportunity she gets. At this point, I think her game is to make Ceec react and probably get a strike.
The Big Brother Naija 2023 housemates had their first arena games today. The theme of the game was ‘The Great Debate’.
The Bbnaija season 8 housemates were in groups of males and females. They were to choose a topic and debate against the opposite gender.
The winners of the Big Brother Naija season 8 arena games today were Team Guardians of the Coins (Adekunle, Soma, Neo, Pere and Cross) and Team Mavericks(Uriel, Alex, Mercy Eke, Doyin, Venita and Ilebaye). Each of the winning teams was awarded 10 Bbnaija coins each to be shared amongst the teammates.
The Thursday pool party was fun as everyone enjoyed themselves. There was music, meat and an outdoor grill. Kiddwaya was in charge of the barbecue. The housemates are yet to finalise their preparation for their wager task coming up tomorrow.
The Big Brother Naija 2023 voting starts on Monday at 8 pm (9 pm CAT) and ends every Thursday by 9 pm (10 pm CAT). To keep your favourite Big Brother Naija Season 8 housemate in the Big Brother house you have to vote for the housemate.
