There was no eviction during the first live eviction show of Big Brother Naija Season 11 on Sunday as the programme introduced its first major twist of the season.
Host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu announced that housemates Flora and Aikou had emerged as this season’s “Gambits” following a public vote, making them the first contestants to assume the special status.
As Gambits, the duo are guaranteed places in the grand finale and are immune from eviction, but they are no longer eligible to compete for the show’s ₦160 million grand prize.
The announcement came after housemates spent the week believing nominations would lead to an eviction. Instead, Biggie revealed that the opening week’s nominations would not produce any eviction, allowing all remaining contestants to stay in the competition for another week.
The Gambit twist is expected to introduce a new strategic dimension to the game, with Flora and Aikou taking on special roles that could influence activities in the house as the competition progresses.
