Still keeping viewers glued to their TV, housemates of Big Brother “Shine Ya Eye” Season 6 continue to provide undiluted entertainment as promised.
Week four of the show started with an unexpected twist from Big Brother.
Four new housemates Kayvee, Micheal, JMK, and Queen were ushered into the house and three housemates Niyi, Yerins, and Beatrice were unfortunately evicted from the game at the eviction show on August 8.
The usual Head of House dice game commenced on Monday, where all housemates contested for the HOH position, except Boma and Jackie B who won last week and are not valid to contest again yet.
Pere emerged as the winner and chose Maria as his deputy.
The nomination process proceeded as housemates nominated collectively leaving Arin, Emmanuel, Nini, Princess, Saga, and Tega up for possible eviction this week.
The head of house Pere, used this veto power to save Saga and replaced him with Saskay for possible eviction.
Housemates were engaged in lots of tasks, one of which was the Eva Soap task in which Peace emerged as the winner with a cash gift of N250,000.
With their unending disagreements, occasional “gbas gbos” and entertaining Saturday live party, the housemates served the viewers with premium content.
