Team Guardians of the coins and Team Mavericks emerged as the winners of the season’s first arena games. For the first All Stars arena games, Biggie tasked the housemates with a challenge called the “great debate”. Five teams comprising of four housemates each of the same gender only, had had to be and the challenge was to go head to head in an informative debate against each other. After four intense rounds, Team Guardian of the coins which featured Adekunle, Cross, Neo Energy, Pere, and Soma, and Alex, Doyin, Ilebaye, Mercy Eke, Uriel, and Venita’s team called Mavericks, were crowned as the winners.
The rules were simple and straight forward. All participating teams had two topic options to choose from, as well as the mandatory requirements of unique team names, selected team captains, and the creation of dedicated team emblems. Housemates who did not take part in the debate presided as judges and moderators for their relevant debating teams. As a collective, credit has to be given to the housemates for delivering stellar arguments that were well thought out topped off by eye-catching outfits that made sure that they looked the part during the performances. The women looked radiant as ever in attires that resembled their boss-lady nature, while the men achieved a winning look by wearing dapper suits.
Drama ensues amongst the Mavericks
After Big Brother asked the victorious teams to select their winnings which were ten non-transferrable gold tokens that they had to split amongst each other, there was a clear a rift between the Mavericks.Their six-member team experienced a few difficulties with equally splitting their tokens among each other. Venita suggested that Ilebaye should receive the least of the spoils because according to her, the proudly Gen Z housemate, put in the least work in comparison to the rest of her team members. Ilebaye objected to this snub from Venita as she felt that her comment was harsh and unfair. After an intervention from the rest of the team, Ilebaye was forced to give in and she eventually agreed to Venita’s suggestion, much to her disappointment.
