BBNaija evicted housemate who might return to the show

The Big Brother Naija reality television show had on Sunday, 18th March, through its host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu revealed that viewers have the opportunity to bring back two of their favourite evicted housemates to the house.

The announcement which was made during Sunday's eviction show, was trailed with mixed reactions and criticisms among viewers who didn't agree with the twist, while some others are joyful over the turn out of things.

The reality show organizers have come to explain reasons behind the twist in the show through their official social website.

Here's what they said:

"On a flat surface view, the potential ‘returnees’ have been exposed to the outside world, the media and have created strategic formulae that might work in their favour in terms of game; again, flat surface view. In reality however, the only difference between current and Ex-housemates is the amount of information at their disposal.

"The one group know whose been nominating them but the other doesn’t, the one has established who the strongest contenders are in terms of numbers and the other hasn’t.

"In terms of the votes however, the power still lies in the viewer’s hands; immunity is only awarded to Housemate that wins it fairly and nominations are driven by the Housemates themselves so, the probability of two Housemates bringing biased scales to the House are non-existent.

"To each their own strategy. Other twists on #BBNaija Double Wahala Up until the seventh week, the housemates contested in pairs. This meant that if one housemate gets evicted, his or her partner leaves too.

"If a housemate gets a reward or punishment, the partner will also be at the receiving end. Also, for the first time in the history of #BBNaija, it was announced that whoever emerges the Head of House won’t be guaranteed immunity and the veto power to save a nominated housemate and replace with another."

The eligible Housemates campaigning to return to the house are: Anto, Leo, Ifu Ennada, Ahneeka, Angel, Princess, Bitto, Vandora, Dee-One, Khloe and K.Brule.
