Christy O, Cyph evicted as BBNaija unveils two new housemates

Christy O and Cyph have been evicted from the 2022 Big Brother Nigeria (BBNaija) reality TV show.

The pair were sent packing from the ‘Level Up’ edition during the live eviction show on Sunday.

During the week, Biggie had asked Hermes, the head of the house (HoH), to nominate five housemates for possible eviction.

The performance artist, born Hermes Chibueze Iyele, then put up Christy O, Cyph, Phyna, Amaka, and Khalid for eviction.

Their eviction comes at about the same Beauty was disqualified from the show after getting a second strike.

The 23-year-old lawyer was punished for an altercation she had with Groovy during Saturday night’s party.

She had registered her annoyance at Groovy, her love interest, for dancing with Chomzy, the housemate whom she doesn’t consider her friend.

The organisers had said she was disqualified for throwing her wig and glasses at Groovy.

The development comes as two new housemates were added to the show.

Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, the host, unveiled the new housemates namely Rachel and Chizzy.

According to him, the two housemates identified as “riders” are agents of Biggie, the instructive voice behind the show.

Ebuka added that the pair cannot be disqualified but are not eligible to win the show’s grand prize.
