Big Brother Naija All Stars, is in full swing since the show started on Sunday, July 23, 2023, re-introducing previous housemates from the last six seasons into the Biggieverse.
The eighth season, the first of its kind, changes the show’s dynamic typically known to fans. Everyone contesting already has a fanbase and must work to either recruit new fans or poach others.
Considering this unique position, popular media personality and longtime BBNaija commentator, Hero Daniels, took to social media to share tips with diehard fans on ensuring their favourite housemates make it to the finale.
There’s been social media chatter about the devastating ‘repute’ effect being the first to drop off from the season would cause, so real fans are weary of watching their ‘faves’ go through any such issue.
Considering this is a difficult season where Big Brother has stacked the odds against everyone, some of Hero’s advice is quite intense.
The more intense ones include putting your fave on a billboard, infiltrating the markets by gifting traders to vote for housemates and controlling contestants’ narratives by ensuring you document their time in the house.
Hero also had some other sound pieces of advice. These include – finding your tribe (a community of other fans), joining Facebook groups, following the voting polls, and getting your friends and family to contribute by voting with their DStv IUCs.
Others are using TikTok as much as possible to control the narratives, putting your money and DStv subscription where your mouth is and using all available votes.
Interestingly, voting is at its highest on the DStv app, where fans can access as many as 10,000 votes per round when they use DStv Prestige or 2,500 votes on a Premium subscription.
Every DStv subscription, no matter how small, comes with at least 150 votes more than what’s available to the general public on the mobile and website.
While Hero Daniels’ tips may come across as a little too extra for passive viewers of the show, longtime fans will come to find them useful. Also, the media personality has the best experience to advise fans on how best to play the game.
He has been leading Big Brother Naija commentary since the show’s comeback in 2017 and has interviewed every housemate currently in the Biggieverse. Fans with a penchant for one or more housemates will have a lot to benefit from his tips.
The housemates from the BBNaija See Gobe, Double Wahala, Pepper Dem, Lockdown, Shine Ya Eye and Level Up seasons are all superstars in their own right. They include Adekunle, Alex, Angel, Cee-C, Cross, Doyin, Frodd, Ike, Ilebaye, Kiddwaya, Mercy Eke, Neo, Pere, Princess, Seyi, Soma, Tolanibaj, Uriel, Venita and Whitemoney.
It explains why the grand prize from this All-stars season supersedes all others, as the winner will walk away with ₦120 million cash and other gifts.
If the past week has been anything to go by, the housemates are aware of the grand prize and are ready to play the game hard enough to win, so the competition promises to be tighter than ever! Following Hero’s tips may just separate the winning fanbase from others.
