BBNaija wild cards Maria and Pere
. . . To remain and fight for N90m grand prize
There was surprise and shock in the Big Brother Naija Shine Ya Eye house as Pere and Maria were revealed as the two wild cards on Sunday evening, August 1, 2021.
Wildcards are the fake housemates of the show who the housemates have to nominate out of the show.
During the wildcard nomination show on Sunday evening, the housemates with the highest nominations were Jaypaul and Liquorose.
Big Brother announced this to the housemates after the nominations were concluded.
However, the show host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, called on the real wildcards to show themselves to the housemates.
At the request, Pere and Maria stood up and every housemate was thrown into surprise.
After the revelation, the rest of the housemates applauded the wildcards for perfectly concealing their identities in the house.
Some of the housemates even went on to congratulate them and share hugs with them for their perfect showmanship.
When asked how he was able to pull it off, Pere confessed that it was very challenging for him.
“It was very challenging. I had to be under the radar,” he said.
According to Pere, he was sure that he wouldn’t be discovered because of his manipulative traits in the house.
Thereafter, Ebuka announced that since the housemates failed to predict correctly, the wildcards are to remain in the house and compete for the grand prize worth N90 million naira. (Adapted from a PUNCH report)
