The recent episode of the Big Brother All-Stars show saw the eviction of Kiddwaya, the son of billionaire Terry Waya, and fellow Housemate Tolani Baj.
These two contestants had received the lowest number of votes, and only one could be evicted by the divine power of the jury, consisting of former Housemates Elozonam, Vee, and Saskay.
Despite the expectation that Tolani would be the third woman to leave the house after Princess and Uriel were evicted in the second and third week, the jury’s decision was not based solely on vote counts, but rather on several factors.
Ultimately, it appears that Vee and Saskay were unwilling to see another woman leave the show.

This trend of female contestants being evicted has caused some backlash among fans of the show.
In the first eviction Sunday, Seyi was saved by the jury despite being up against Princess, and in the second eviction Sunday, Uriel was voted out by the jury of Laycon, Teddy A, and Diane.
With the presence of strong female contestants such as Mercy, CeeC, and Alex, many viewers have hoped for a season that celebrates women.
However, the show’s history shows that men have typically been more successful, with only two women, Mercy and Phyna, having won the competition compared to four male winners, including Efe Money, Miracle, Laycon, and Whitemoney.
Despite this, viewers remain hopeful for a season that will challenge gender norms and celebrate the strengths of all contestants.
