Big Brother Naija Day 3: Housemates spend time concentrating too much on eating and not enough on getting enough “likes” to avoid nominations

Biggie called the Housemates to task as he felt that the Housemates were concentrating too much on their culinary skills and were therefore being wasteful with the food in the House. Biggie felt that the Housemates were overshadowing their good work in the Tasks and decided to withdraw their cooking privileges for the next 24 hours. It was not all doom and gloom, however as he did say that he could reinstate their privileges depending on their performances in the upcoming task but he did warn them that he reserved the right to extend the punishment and not return their cooking privileges

Biggie did say that they still had access to what was left in the cupboards and that they could reheat any meals that had already been cooked but that they could not cook any new meals until Biggie said they could. This cut short their celebrations as they realised that they were still under Biggie’s control and they were still playing a game and that not everything would always go their way.

Biggie then called Head of House, Uriel back into the Diary Room where she was to remind the Housemates of the fact that this past week was about making their fellow Housemates like them and that their stay in the House depended on how much they were liked by their fellow Housemates. Biggie informed them that they had from then until the following day to think about which two Housemates they liked the most, and which two they wanted to nominate for possible eviction. The Housemates were reminded of the strict rules that they had to give two Housemates names for possible eviction, along with a good reason as to why they were nominating the two people. Failure to do so would result in them being put up for possible eviction. This was a timely reminder to the Housemates that this was in fact a game and that however easy they might have thought the game was, Biggie was in charge and Biggie could give and take away at his discretion.

As Head of House, Uriel was reminded that she would have two minutes in which she could save and replace one Housemate that had been nominated for possible eviction on Sunday night.

The stakes couldn’t be higher and this was a timely reminder that they were playing a game and things could change at any minute.
