Notes
edit- ^Note 1 : While the Head of House, Adekunle, was in his nomination process, Big Brother revealed that nominations were fake and all contestants were safe, but it had to be kept secret to the rest of the house.[8]
- ^Note 2 : In week 1, Big Brother announced the black envelope challenge, where housemates had to look through the house for a hidden black envelope, and whoever found it first would be safe from eviction.[9]
- ^Note 3 : In week 2, Big Brother announced a nomination twist, called "Pardon Me Please," where the housemates would nominate for immunity from eviction. After this nomination, every housemate apart from the black envelope winner and Head of House would be up for public voting.[10]
- ^Note 4 : As part of Cee-C's and Ilebaye's punishments, they were not allowed to vote in the nomination process.[11]
- ^Note 5 : Four new houseguests: Lucy, Kim Oprah, Prince Nelson and Sholzy enter the house.[12]
- ^Note 6 : Big Brother annulled the Pardon Me Please nominations for Week 5 because Angel and Cross tied with seven nominations each.[13]
