Big Brother Naija Season 11 housemate, Abisola “Abi” Ayoola, has emerged as the Head of House for the fourth week of the reality show.
Abi secured the title after defeating Chimsom Chuka in the final round of the Head of House arena game on Monday.
Her victory made her the third consecutive female housemate to emerge as Head of House this season, following Sheba and Neche.
Announcing her victory on its official X account, Big Brother Naija wrote, “Congratulations Abi, you did it!”
The Head of House challenge featured multiple rounds, beginning with a Colour Wheel game, where housemates were required to recreate a colour wheel from an image using provided pieces.
The competition proceeded to a semi-final involving puzzle assembly and painting, which saw Abi, Chimsom, Tram and Ricky advance.
In the final round, Abi faced Chimsom in a memory and image-recreation challenge, where contestants were required to accurately recreate displayed images.
Abi eventually edged out Chimsom to claim the HoH title and secured immunity for her team for the week.
However, the nomination process subsequently put Temi Nkem, Cassi, Gerard, Goddessa, Tram, Nomy, Araga, Yusuf and Aikou up for possible eviction.
Aikou’s inclusion on the list is notable as he is one of The Gambits, a category of housemates with season-long protection from eviction, although Gambits are not eligible to win the grand prize.
Abi exercised her power to save Bells and Bluethopia from the eviction list, replacing them with three members of her team — Yusuf, Araga and Aikou.
Chimsom, who finished as runner-up in the HoH challenge, also secured individual immunity.
The latest eviction list is, however, subject to any further twists or official confirmation by the show.
The next live eviction show is expected to hold on Sunday, August 23.
Abi, whose full name is Abisola Ayoola, is a model and chef. She joined the show, saying she believed she was “perfect for the show” after people she had met encouraged her to appear on television.
The 25-year-old lists cooking, dancing, working out and reading among her hobbies and said she can speak Italian “almost perfectly.”
She is married and described being “too happy” as one of her habits that could irritate people.
