Another disagreement involving Lucy shows that she is more than just a trouble causer in the Big Brother Naija House.

Sometimes it seems as if there isn’t a day that goes by in the Big Brother House without Lucy getting into an argument. This regular occurrence has become so normal that even when it is warranted, it can be dismissed as just Lucy being Lucy. 

This time around it was over the Arena Games and the way that some Housemates mixed up the box of balls after their rounds and others didn’t. Those that didn’t have it mixed before their round had an unfair advantage as they wouldn’t have to struggle to find the correct balls to place atop the cones.

Lucy loudly voiced this issue to Laycon, Tolanibaj, Vee in the kitchen after the Arena Games were over. Vee tried to assure Lucy that nobody knew it was her turn, and therefore mixing the balls was not a malicious and calculated attack on her. Lucy retorted by asking: “Why didn’t they continue to mix up the balls?” 

Wathoni and Tolanibaj agreed with Lucy that not mixing the balls gave the next player an unfair advantage, and this emboldened Lucy to continue with her argument. Lucy then stated that she didn’t care about winning as she wouldn’t want to be pampered by the Housemates and didn’t consider pampering to be a worthwhile prize. Vee then said “I don’t think they did it on purpose”, but this only enraged Lucy more.

Lucy concluded the argument by telling the Housemates that they should treat her with the same disregard on the outside that they do inside the Big Brother House because she doesn’t forget! 

This fight may have been proof that Lucy isn’t looking for random fights, and may only argue when she experiences unfairness. Lucy isn’t scared to stand up for herself whenever necessary and that is a pleasure to watch, even if it might not be a joy to deal with for the other Big Brother Housemates.

All Praise to the winner

The Betway Arena Games gave the Big Brother Housemates another chance to turn a little luck and skill into a huge win.

It was a night of action for the Big Brother Housemates as they all assembled for another night of Betway Arena Games. Since Biggie is still on a break the Housemates had to read the instructions for the games before playing.

The format was an obstacle course with five events which had to be completed in less than two minutes. The Housemate who completed the whole course in the shortest amount of time would be the winner. The five obstacles the Housemates had to complete were:

1.Basketball hoop: The Housemates had to shooti a ball through the hoop to progress.

2. Hula hustle: The Housemates needed to move one of the two hula hoops forward on to the place they would step in order to progress.

3. Hopscotch: The Housemates had to follow the pattern laid out by hopping in the relevant hoop.

4. Backwards penalty: The Housemates had to score a penalty goal by kicking it with their heel while facing backwards.

5. Cone and ball: The final obstacle was a game of matching. Coloured balls had to be placed on a cone with the corresponding colour.

It was a very brisk start for Praise who obliterated the course as the first competitor. His effort showed that the Betway Arena Games weren’t going to be an easy walk to victory for anyone tonight. Some obsticales were easier than others, but the final obstacle of matching cones to balls got the better of Nengi, Tolanibaj, Lucy, and Erica and they ran out of time while trying to complete it.  

The Housemates who made the short work of the course were Brighto, Wathoni, Trikytee, Vee, Kiddwaya, and Laycon who all managed to finish. Brighto, Laycon, and Prince all recorded rounds that left them with more than 40 seconds on the clock, but their excellent efforts were still not enough. 

Praise’s blistering start to the game sealed him an all-important win in the Arena and handed him bragging rights for the next seven days.
