Showmax: Why BBNaija is trending

It’s week five in the Big Brother Naija house and it’s been nothing short of exciting. While week one gave the audience a bona fide couple – hello Eric and Lilo – the second week presented a love triangle with Nengi, Ozo and Dora in the picture.

With two evictions done, claiming four contestants, the game in the house appears to be getting intense and the housemates are beginning to unravel under the pressure even as the new couples bond more.

With Showmax streaming the reality show that would see the winner walk away with a whopping 85 million naira, those who have been following the show are expected to see more drama unfold.

Here, Razmattaz attempted to look at why the show may be trending on Showmax.

One of the reasons the show is trending on Showmax is because of the two housemates who are currently bonding- Erica and Kiddwaya. They have both lived in the luxurious Head of House (HOH) room in the last six days. Erica may have described Kidd as a “special friend” during last Sunday’s eviction show, but the pair could barely keep their hands off each other.

Lucy and Dora: BFFs Lucy and Dora have had each other’s backs at the house, from Dora calling Lucy out during her fight with Praise, to Lucy going to war with Nengi over Dora/Ozo. Lucy and Dora are the undisputed BFFs of the BBNaija Lockdown house. Dora confessed to Lucy about wanting to kiss Bright O among other conversations between the pair on the BBNaija Daily Highlights on Showmax.

With 16 housemates and several entanglements, the BBNaija housemates are not lacking in drama. Whether it’s Erica going to the toilet to let off steam ahead of her Deputy Head of House nomination or the housemates’ nomination choice during the Sunday live eviction, Showmax’s extra view weekly wrap provides behind the scenes footage others may have missed.

Also, during the live eviction show, the contestants are called in by Big Brother to vote out two housemates. These Diary Room voting sessions which aren’t seen in the course of the live stream show, are now available every Monday evening to watch on Showmax.

Lastly, if there’s anything about the show that keeps viewers glued to their seats and watching without commercial breaks as Showmax brings hottest moments from BBNaija without viewers worrying about commercial breaks disrupting the viewing experience.
