The Evolution of Alex
This morning Alex was the only Housemate up and about in the House. In her bright pink top, she began to dance and get into the groove of the day, her dance moves literally brought her to tears before she decided to go downstairs and begin waking the other Housemates up from their slumber. She has been egging on conversation all morning, chasing Rico around the table and getting everyone up and about, Alex has slowly become the life blood that is keeping the House Alive.
We have witnessed an volution of this vibrant Housemate since the beginning of the Big Brother journey. From being initially misunderstood, getting shadowed by her in-House relationship with Leo to finally coming into her own and keeping the House alive with her charismatic and unique sense of self.
Social Butterfly
Recently we have seen a new side to Alex in the House, she speaks her mind, and stands up for what she believes and has become an integral part of the social structure in the House. From being free to letting go of her ego and counselling Nina, it is clear that Alex has fully embraced who she is, confident and dynamic.
Wanted
Alex's confidence is attractive and not only captivated Leo's heart but seems to have enamoured Rico's as well. Rico has been trying with Alex non-stop. Always wanting to be in her space, play with her and try to hug her but she is mature enough not to fall into this trap again. His advances have become annoying to Alex and she has been making that very clear to Rico.
Cocoon
This is almost the polar opposite to the Alex we first saw on our screens. Many thought her to be naive and not too focused, this landed up working in her favour as few saw her as a threat. Now with her kind yet straight shooting attitude she seems to have found favour with most of the people in the House.
Day 54: The Many Faces of Rico Swavey
Rico plays an interesting part in the House, he has managed to maintain an air of cool that has kept him safe for most of the game.
Never Nominated
Up until recently, Rico was just that guy who managed to always slide through the Nominations, whether it is his aloof attitude or the fact that he consistently behaves as though he is not a threat, his behaviour has kept him in the clear. This was not the case in the last Nomination session where he was actually the guy in the House with the most Nominations yet once again he will be safe as those happened to be fake Nominations. Ah Rico, luck shines upon you!
Chef Rico
One of things that may be keeping Rico on such neutral ground is his ability to keep the Housemates happy by feeding them. They say a way to a man’s (or woman’s) heart is through their stomach and Rico sure knows how to milk that. Aside from always cooking he is also caring or at least acting like he is caring towards the other Housemates issues and problems.
Clowning Around
Another facet to Rico's personality is that he makes people laugh, he clowns around and is not afraid of cracking jokes, pulling funny faces and doing wild and sometimes inappropriate dance moves to get people smiling and laughing. Not to forget that he really turns up when he has a drink or two.
No Luck With the Ladies
His “nice guy” attitude may work in the above context but there are some cases where it really does not seem to be paying off. Rico has tried and failed with a few of the ladies in the House but to no joy. Ifu Ennada, BamBam, Ahneeka and most recently Alex have all been privy to his advances and have all shot them down. While he may have luck in sliding through Nominations and Evictions he certainly doesn’t seem to have luck with the BBNaija ladies.
Day 54: At Last
Having narrowly won the Wager, Housemates had a gripping evening followed by an even more riveting night.
Against all expectations, Biggie asked Housemates to dress up to the nines and get ready to enter the Arena for the last round of Championship Challenge. As they walked into the gaming room, realising that Biggie had taken them for a run, Nina asked Biggie out loud why he had them all groomed. It was time to cumulate the records and win the Wager, which thanks to Teddy A, Nina, Miracle and Bambam Housemates narrowly secured during the last three of a nine-part challenge.
We Conquered
On the heels of the Wager win that came after successive flops, more than Diary Sessions it is counselling sessions Biggie held for Housemates. Riding on the wave of excitement, Housemates were cheerful in every way and let Biggie in more than expected. Nina and Cee-C had no intent to settle their conflict, which for now would remain muted yet palpable. Rico and Lolu admitted to getting closer to more Housemates, while Miracle regretted getting drunk and Teddy A was just feeling the vibe.
Hashing it Out
The rest of the night was all about Cee-C and Tobi trying to sort out their differences. They both agreed that they’re cool but Cee-C isn’t convinced. She spent most of her early night trying to fish out how she really feels but Tobi as he said, he’s being careful and choosing what to respond to and how.
This morning the alarm rang and the Housemates are still under their blankets, it doesn’t look like they are going to go for their training session.
