During the 2nd launch night on the 25th
of July, 2021, Big Brother announced that there were 2 fake housemates, called
wildcards, that were revealed at the end of Week 1's Sunday show. The two
wildcards were revealed to be Maria and Pere that day. Since the housemates
guessed incorrectly, no one got evicted on that day (Vanguard News, 30th
July 2021). Maria and Pere were given the opportunity to participate fully in
the show since they were undetected as wildcards. On Day 14, four (4) new
housemates were introduced to the Big Brother house which were JMK, Michael,
Kayvee and Queen. Kayvee exited the Big Brother house on Day 22 voluntarily due
to health-related issues (Punch Newspaper, 16 August 2021). There were no
evictions in week four (4). In week 9, Big Brother decided to scrap the Head of
House games, replacing them with the Ultimate Veto Power Holder Games. The
Ultimate Veto Power Holder not only had the power of immunity from public
voting, but they could pick both the Head and Deputy Head of House (Punch
Newspaper, 20 September 2021). In the same week, everyone except the Ultimate
Veto Power Holder, Head of House and Deputy Head of House were up for public
voting.
The grand finale expected schedule is for Sunday 3rd
October, 2021 at 7:00pm (WAT, +1 GMT).
