Big Brother Naija Day 28 Live Show 4: And then Biggie came for Gifty

A relieved Marvis collapsed on the sofa next to Bally after Biggie narrowly Saved her. Ironically, Gifty who remained standing was seen stroking her back.

This was the third Eviction that Housemates had lived though and they had grown accustomed to the pace although ThinTallTony stood up straight, head bowed of a palpable anxiety.

As the actress that she is, Gifty couldn’t have planned for a grander exit. She had saved her best act for the last: when Biggie called her name, she swiftly walked towards the door, without blinking or looking back as if she was in a hurry to leave the shark tank that the House had become for her.

Gifty couldn’t be bothered to say goodbye, yet Housemates gathered around her for a last round of automatic, cold, calculated hugs that she wasn’t enjoying giving or receiving.

Housemates looked for the large part apathetic and unconcerned – one might even say they were breathing easier.

One could have heard a pin drop as no one in the House had shed a tear, shouted, jumped or collapsed. None of the dramatic scenes that had livened up Evictions ushered Gifty out.

It was deadly quiet.
