Big Brother Naija has unveiled its first major twist of the new season, introducing a strategic feature known as “The Gambit,” which will secure two housemates a place in the grand finale while denying them the opportunity to win the show’s ₦160 million grand prize.
The surprise announcement was made during Monday’s live interaction with the housemates and was also published across the reality show’s official social media platforms. Organisers simultaneously opened voting, allowing viewers to choose one male and one female contestant to take on the new role.
Under the new format, the male and female contestants who receive the highest number of votes will become The Gambits. Their reward is guaranteed survival until the final week of the competition, but they will automatically lose the chance to claim the season’s record-breaking cash prize.
“Biggie’s first twist is here! There’s NO eviction this week. Instead, YOU will choose one male and one female Housemate to become The Gambit, a role with huge power… and an even bigger sacrifice. They’ll earn a guaranteed place in the House until the very end of the game… but there’s one major catch. They cannot win the grand prize,” the organisers wrote.
