The eviction of Uriel from the ongoing Big Brother Naija All Stars reality show has triggered a wave of dissatisfaction among viewers, who are voicing their discontent with the decision made by the eviction jury.
Uriel’s eviction took place on Sunday after a voting process carried out by the eviction jury, composed of Teddy A, Laycon, and Diane.
Last week, Seyi was saved from eviction by the jury, marking his second time being rescued by jury members.
However, this decision hasn’t sat well with the Nigerian audience, as Seyi had garnered the least number of votes and has now escaped eviction twice.
Critics are pointing out a potential bias within the jury system, particularly due to the relationship some jury members have with Seyi.
Teddy A and Laycon, two members of the jury, are both of Yoruba ethnicity, just like Seyi.
The sentiment among viewers is that Uriel, who is praised for her active participation in tasks and her contribution to the house, was unfairly ousted while someone like Seyi, who consistently finds himself at the bottom of the votes, continues to be saved.
The widespread outcry against the jury system is gaining momentum as viewers question its credibility and fairness.
Many are suggesting that the jury’s composition should be reevaluated to ensure a more impartial selection process and to eliminate potential biases.
Comments collected from social media platforms illustrate the growing frustration among fans, who believe that Uriel’s eviction highlights the flaws in the current jury structure and its impact on the show’s integrity.
Concerns have been raised that if these issues are not addressed promptly, this edition of Big Brother Naija could be marred by its handling of evictions, resulting in disappointment for the audience.
Comments from frustrated viewers include:
@DrOlufunmilayo: “The day is coming when an actually popular person like Mercy or WhiteMoney finds themselves in the bottom 3 and then a drunk compromised jury will kick the person out even though they do not actually have the lowest votes.”
@AssistantEbukaa: “Isn’t it common sense to not save someone who was saved by Jury just last week?”
@TWEETORACLE: “The jury tonight reeked of Bias. Seyi is Yoruba and 2 of the jury members are Yoruba — Teddy A and Laycon. Why? Of Course they are gonna save him. You can’t tell me that Big Brother didn’t think about this before picking the panel for tonight’s eviction. Doesn’t make sense.”
@Masco_: “This right here is the problem with the eviction Jury panel. For the 2nd week running, Seyi ends at BOTTOM barrel but somehow evades eviction because of a familiar Jury. I don’t think this makes sense, the idealization, composition and execution of this. THUMBS DOWN!”
@chinasa_anukam: “I HATE this jury rubbish. Uriel is extremely active in tasks, she cooks, she has an active storyline. This man has been in the bottom two for two weeks FFS and spends his whole time in the house gossiping.”
@phillyf_: “Scrap the jury abeg. It’s obvious they aren’t watching this show, because what the hell?”
@Nobsdaslushhkid: “A jury made up biased ex-housemates is pure ass and does not represent the viewer’s choice.”
@Naijasinglegirl: “This Jury thing is the worst thing to happen in the history of #bbnaija. It has created room for biases because the jury would tend to favor those in their circle. How can those clowns pick Seyi over Uriel?”
@AfroVII: “On what basis did they save Seyi over Uriel??? Even if she came last in the polls, shey that didn’t matter last week? Did these jury guys even watch the show?”
@damidawson: “BBNAIJA SHOULD REVIEW THEIR EXTANT JURY SYSTEM. There is still time to make the adjustments… A disheartening reality transpired with Uriel’s untimely departure, a departure unbecoming of her contributions. If nothing is done to this weak jury system, then this will be the most disappointing edition ever. What an irony”
