Notes

[edit]
  • ^Note 1 : During the 2nd launch night on the 24th of July, 2022, Ebuka announced that there would be 2 levels of the Big Brother House. The first 12 housemates would occupy the Level 2 house, while the last 12 housemates would occupy the Level 1 house.[10]
  • ^Note 2 : In the Head of House games, Big Brother announced to the housemates that only the Head of House was to nominate for the week. However, when the time came for the HOH to make his nomination, Big Brother revealed that there would be no nominations, but it had to be kept secret to the rest of the house.[11]
  • ^Note 3 : On the Sunday Live Show on 31 July 2022, 2 fake housemates, Deji and Modella joined the season of Big Brother Naija.[12][13] Fake housemates can't be nominated and only Big Brother can walk them out of the house.[14]
  • ^Note 4a : The HOH once again was the only person who could nominate for Weeks 2–4.
  • ^Note 4b : Unlike previous weeks, the Head of House had to nominate 7 housemates instead of 5.
  • ^Note 5 : On day 14, Beauty got ejected from the show due to repeatedly flouting the rules.[15]
  • ^Note 6 : On the Sunday Live Show on 7 August 2022, 2 new housemates, known as "The Riders" joined the season of Big Brother Naija: Chizzy and Rachel. According to Ebuka, "The Riders" are basically Big Brother's agents, so they can't win the grand prize. However, they can partake in all activities in the house, can't be evicted and will play until the end.[16]
  • ^Note 7 : On Day 26, Deji and Groovy swapped levels, i.e. Deji moved to Level 2 and Groovy moved to Level 1.
  • ^Note 8 : On the Sunday Live Show on 21 August 2022, it was announced that the Levels were scrapped. This meant that as from Week 5, the housemates had to compete under one house.
  • ^Note 9 : On Day 29, Ebuka announced that all nominations for Week 5 were fake.[17]
  • ^Note 10 : On Day 36, it was announced that they would nominate for immediate eviction by Big Brother. Having the most votes by real housemates, Amaka was evicted.[18] Then, all housemates except the HOH were to be against public voting.
  • ^Note 11 : On day 43, the housemates had to vote for three housemates instead of two. Also, the Riders could not nominate.[19]
  • ^Note 12 : On the Sunday Live Show on 11 September 2022, Ebuka announced a new level, called Level 3, where, as from that night, evicted housemates would move to. Evicted housemates, now referred to as House Guests, can no longer compete for the grand prize, but can partake in all house activities except the Head of House games, and are also eligible to earn winnings from sponsored tasks.[20]
