“Big Brother Naija All Stars” organisers have officially confirmed the elimination of the jury method for eviction choices, which is poised to transform the landscape of the reality TV programme. The decision was made in response to the preferences of the viewers as well as the necessity for a more open and democratic eviction procedure.
The jury system was introduced this year and has been a defining feature of the “All Stars” edition, with a panel of judges or former housemates wielding the power to determine the fate of contestants. However, the recent seasons of “Big Brother Naija All Stars” have witnessed a surge in viewer engagement, sparking conversations around the fairness and accuracy of the jury’s decisions.
The tipping point seems to have been reached with the most recent evictions where housemates who didn’t get the lowest votes were evicted due to the jury’s decision. This drew backlash from the show’s supporters.
Some of the jury members were Mike, Saskay, Bisola, Dorathy, Elozonam and Vee. They were all once contestants in the big brother show.
Fans took to social media platforms to express their frustration and disappointment, questioning the validity of the jury’s choices and even alleging potential biases.
In light of these concerns, the show’s organizers have taken a bold step by dismantling the jury system and opting for a more inclusive and participatory eviction process.
The new eviction process will be rooted in a combination of viewer votes and housemate interactions. Viewers will have the opportunity to cast their votes for the contestants they want to see stay in the competition. This move is expected to create a stronger connection between the audience and the show, as well as provide a more accurate representation of the public’s favorite housemates.
