Season 9 of Big Brother Naija, titled “No loose protection,” experienced its first double elimination, dramatically changing the dynamics of the house and surprising fans. On Sunday, August 18, 2024, the pair Streeze (Mayor Frosh and Toby Forge) and Floruish (DJ Flo and Rhuthee) were eliminated during the live show.
Hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, the night started off with high tension and quickly turned heated. Four couples—Streeze, Floruish, Radicals, and Beta—were initially eliminated. This week’s Guardians, Wanni x Handi, saved Beta, putting Streeze, Floruish, and Radicals in danger.
The twist came when Streeze was announced as the first couple to leave, followed by the surprise exit of Floruish. Viewer votes, which placed Streeze and Floruish at the bottom of the list with 5.60% and 6.25% respectively, decided their fate.
While Streeze’s departure was somewhat expected due to their recent drop in support, Floruish’s departure came as a surprise, possibly due to the fallout from their public clash with Wanni x Handi, as fans speculated on social media.
This double eviction signals a major change in the game, with changes to the Custodian Challenge and Head of House rules and a return to traditional gameplay focused on viewer votes and challenge performance.
With Streeze and Floruish gone, the remaining housemates had to adjust their strategies, either forming new alliances or strengthening existing ones. The double evictions heightened viewer engagement, with reactions on social media ranging from shock and disappointment to excitement and appreciation for the evicted couples.
