The minute she was announced as this week’s Head of House, Erica’s throne was backed with the support and cheers of the rest of the Lockdown Housemates. With a new role such as HoH, comes many varied responsibilities, but the moment you’re announced as Head of House, what comes to your mind is the Immunity and escape from the cold hands of Eviction. Knowing the calm, ever-smiling Erica, do you think she feels cut out for the wahala that comes with governing the Lockdown Housemates? With the support of her boo a.k.a Deputy Head of House, we have no doubt that this reign will be a smooth and fun one, with sprinkles of vibes and cruise.
Words from the Housemates
While her reign has been a smooth one so far, we can’t unlook the fights and tension featured in this regime. On one hand, we reckon the Housemates may have underestimated her supremacy because of her ability to get along with everyone, it may seem as though there has been a bit of tension in the House following a few altercations between the Head of House and other Housemates.
For instance, last night, Lucy said to Kiddwaya that Erica is the head and Kiddwaya is the neck “…and if you say the head doesn't turn, it doesn't turn,” she added. Erica took the opportunity to ask Lucy what she meant by that statement and this is where the disagreement began. They had a little argument and it was the first time she surprised us with that side of her. To be fair, Lucy had it coming and so one would not blame Erica for the outburst.
Upon seeing her reaction, some of you thought it was the HoH crown that gave her a new attitude in the House
Earlier today, there was a small misunderstanding with Brighto. When it was time for Wager rehearsals, Brighto got up from his bed that minute to take his bath. Erica went to have a chat with him and apparently, it didn’t end well, because next thing we saw was Erica shouting and telling Director Trikytee to take Brighto off the drama. As expected, this caused a sour reaction from some of the Housemates. “That’s not fair, no matter what he did, Brighto didn’t deserve that treatment,” Wathoni said. “Brighto was the last person to take his bath, so naturally, he was still laying in bed and he already apologized,” Praise told whoever cared to listen. “Why is it that she only calls for rehearsals when she has slept and woken up; only when she’s ready. So what happens to our own convenience?” he added. This rhetorical question was met with silence.
Minutes later, Praise brought this issue up with Erica and reminded her that her relationship with the House was dependent on this week’s Wager win. “If they don’t want to win, they should get ready to eat Indomie then,” Erica told him. It was until she called the House together and explained that Brighto was not respectful of the time of the others and she had already gone to speak to him about it, that we knew what the tension was about.
To end this, Erica settled the issue by asking Brighto to apologize to the House. Don't forget that after her outburst last night, she apologized to Lucy and made up. A queen that knows how to make peace? We love to see it! Here’s how you reacted to that
How about we see what you think about her reign so far…
Some of you think she is now just revealing her true colors
However, some of you think she has been a great leader so far
How about we take a look at what Twitter has to say about this current Head of House reign and the previous one, knowing fully well that they both never had any dispute until power was handed over to them.
The Lockdown Housemates are a handful and having a leader with an edge of iron hands could be what will lead them to sit up and slay their Tasks. Take for instance in Ozo’s HoH regime, it wasn’t until the episode with Prince before they knew to take him seriously in the House and this led to their first Wager win and many other wins last week. So do you think the same applies in Erica’s Head of House rule? Let’s see if this new face of Erica with the iron throne will bag the House a win this week. Fingers crossed.
