Big Brother Naija Season 11 housemates Aikou and Flora have been reinstated as full housemates and are now eligible to compete for the show’s ₦160 million grand prize.
The duo had previously been designated as Gambits, a special status that guaranteed them places in the house until the finale but prevented them from competing for the grand prize.
Their reinstatement was announced on Monday following Sunday’s “Operation Release the Gambit” twist, which gave viewers the opportunity to decide whether one or both housemates would be released from their Gambit status.
“Flora and Aikou are officially out of Gambit mode. Biggie has reinstated them as full #BBNaija housemates, making them eligible to compete for the prize money,” the organisers announced.
The organisers further disclosed that the two housemates are now subject to eviction if nominated.
“If nominated, their fate now rests with the voting public,” they added.
Aikou and Flora became the first Gambits of the season after viewers voted them into the special positions. Flora emerged as the female Gambit with 29.38 per cent of the votes, while Aikou secured the male Gambit position with 9.10 per cent.
Although the status guaranteed both housemates a place in the competition through to the grand finale, it initially excluded them from the ₦160 million prize.
However, during Sunday’s live show, host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu introduced the “Operation Release the Gambit” twist, handing viewers the power to determine whether either or both Gambits would return to the main competition.
“Big Brother has one more twist for you tonight. Operation Release the Gambit begins immediately after the live show. The polls will open, and you will decide whether to release one or both of the Gambits, giving them the opportunity to play for the prize. The power is in your hands,” Ebuka announced.
With their Gambit status now removed, Aikou and Flora will compete on equal terms with the other housemates for the ₦160 million grand prize.
However, unlike under their former guaranteed status, the duo can now be nominated for eviction, with their survival in the competition dependent on votes from the viewing public.
