BBA Hotshots: Between Lillian and Tayo

Lillian

In the past 12 days, the current edition of the Big Brother Africa reality TV show has been full of action and drama. Many fans across the continent have had to identify with the lifestyles and idiosyncrasies of the housemates.

On this show, it is obvious that there are no enemies, only hot favourites. Even the least delightful housemate seems to have earned a soft spot in every fan of the show.

However, Nigeria’s Lillian remains one of the hostest participants in the show.

Earlier, she came under intense criticism by fans for taking part in the massaging affairs that turned out to be the first major love game of the show.

Lillian actually had her bum massaged by a fellow male housemate and the gesture caught the attention of many Nigerians on social media.

Many fans are already sending signals that she could be the housemate they want to watch and vote for – the reason they want to stay glued to television sets in the coming weeks. They have already started tweeting that she “needs to improve”.

Lillian is getting all the attention she needs. Her name, her action is going viral on the internet. Still, it is too early to psychoanalyse the model.

She had described herself as “spontaneous, easy-going, focused and confident’ and says her best assets are that she’s ambitious, a good listener, flexible, persuasive, competitive, independent and original.”

Maybe these attributes will fully manifest in the course of the show. What Nigerian fans are wary of is a repetition of Beverly’ or late Goddie’s fate. Maybe, Lillian has also learnt from the past housemates in her battle to win the whopping sum of $300,000.

On the other hand, Tayo, her fellow Nigeria housemate, is already wearing the toga of a mature and focused housemate. Little wonder a fan predicted he was going to be a rallying point.

He is mature and cool-headed too, not easily distracted. He also swallows his pride and sticks to things that enhance his reputation. For instance, the manner he sorted his misunderstanding with JJ is a plus to sterling leadership skills.
