Big Brother introduced a surprising twist to the All Stars season, allowing housemates to discuss nominations freely, overturning the strict rule of keeping things on the hush when it comes to dropping names in the hat. This newfound freedom has seen housemates conspiring with those they want to form alliances with. On Day 1 Kiddwaya, Tolanibaj, Princess, Doyin, Angel and Ilebaye became allies.
In the garden, Pepper Dem alumnus, Venita suggested a "pepper alliance" speaking to Mercy Eke and Seyi. The latter agreed, saying the alliance is inevitable as the Pepper Dem season has the most housemates in the All Stars Biggieverse, adding Frodd and Ike to the mix. Will Ike and Mercy Eke agree to be in the same alliance?
Venita suggests an alliance:
These alliances might serve as a strategic foundation, allowing participants to rely on pre-existing bonds and shared experiences to navigate the challenges of the All Stars house. Having been through the intense and emotionally charged environment of their initial seasons together, housemates can leverage their familiarity and understanding of each other's personalities, strengths, and weaknesses. By uniting forces, they can consolidate their influence and protect one another from potential evictions, ensuring a stronger and more cohesive front in the face of the unpredictable dynamics within the house.
Today, Tolanibaj had a change of heart and confided in Kiddwaya about her regrets regarding her previous nominations. She expressed that she feels she didn't make a wise decision when she nominated Venita, wishing she had been more strategic in her choices. Additionally, she also regrets joining an alliance with the other girls and Kiddwaya, as they all realised that aligning themselves with Ilebaye, whom they considered a weak housemate, didn't make sense.
During his diary session, Kiddwaya referred to Ilebaye as a highly desirable target for eviction, comparing her to “low-hanging fruit” that can be considered as easy pickings. He expressed the belief that it would be more advantageous to eliminate the easy target first. It's worth noting that Kiddwaya also nominated Ilebaye during a fake nomination process.
In their conversation, Tolanibaj and Kiddwaya shared that they would like to form an alliance with Pere and Cross. These two were in the Shina Ya Eye season with Angel and Whitemoney. Would that be a more strategic alliance to form?
The Level Up geng, Adekunle, Doyin and Ilebaye have not been seen having conversations about an alliance, but is it yet to come? When given the choice of housemates to enjoy his HoH win with, Adekunle chose Cross, Soma, Seyi and Frodd, all from different seasons. Was this a strategic move for Adekunle?
The housemates have not been in the house for a week and already strategies are coming to the fore. Is it too soon to form alliances or are housemates on the ball?
