Tolanibaj and Frodd became the fourth and fifth housemates to be evicted from the ongoing Big Brother Naija reality show dubbed the All Stars Season 8 on Sunday.
The duo were sent packing after failing to garner a enough vote to keep them in the house. Their evictions leave the All Stars Show with 11 housemates remaining.
Tolanibaj was the first housemate to be evicted, following a live eviction that lacked a jury panel unlike the previous evictions. She garnered attention for her “situationship” with another housemate, Neoenergy.
She opened up about getting to know him better during her time on the show, when quizzed by the show host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu (Ebuka) on what changed after she had said she wasn’t attracted to Neo.
“Neo is a sweet guy. I saw some things others didn’t see in him,” she said.
Her eviction sparked a variety of reactions among viewers, with some expressing surprise at Seyi’s continued stay in the competition.
Frodd was the second housemate to be evicted during the live show night, following a close vote. The businessman and entrepreneur had been a popular figure in the house, but he ultimately fell short of the public’s vote.
Asked what he learnt from his time in the house, the newest father said: “I learned that I am stronger than I thought I was. I also learned that I am a good person, and that people appreciate me.”
His eviction, however, was met with sadness from many viewers, who had enjoyed his positive energy and sense of humor.
Meanwhile, it appears Seyi has probably been briefed by one of newly introduced housemates – Kim Oprah, Prince, Sholzy or Lucy – about how he is perceived outside the show by Nigerians. In a viral video online, the reality star told Venita he heard Nigerians are angry at him, and it means he is one of those carrying the show.
According to him, what the anger translated to was that he is one of the six, if not the first, on the list carrying this season’s show.
His recent statement sparked reactions online as many people hoped he would get kicked out soon.
