Viewers of Big Brother Naija got more than they expected on Saturday night when two housemates, Thelma Lawson and Bright Morgan, were unexpectedly evicted from the show.
The shocking double eviction took place after the weekly party, when host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu made a surprise appearance inside the house to personally deliver the news. Thelma was the first to be evicted, followed shortly after by Bright — a move that caught both fans and housemates off guard.
While speaking to the contestants, Ebuka reminded them that the game was far from over and that the usual eviction show would still be held on Sunday.
“There’s still eviction tomorrow and a lot can be lost in two weeks,” he told the housemates, urging them to remain focused as the competition enters its final stretch.
Although evictions are usually scheduled for Sundays, Big Brother has a history of throwing in Saturday exits to disrupt strategies and raise tension among contestants.
The departure of Thelma and Bright now reduces the number of contenders vying for the top prize, adding more pressure on the remaining housemates as the season winds down.
In its tenth edition, the reality show continues to command millions of viewers at home and abroad, with unexpected twists like these keeping the suspense alive.
