The Big Brother Naija house is a breeding ground for entertainment, drama, and unexpected twists. As we gear up for the new season kicking off on Sunday 28 July, here are 7 things you can expect:
Drama (with a capital D 😁)
There's never a dull moment in Biggie's house; this season, we have signed up for the drama. Big Brother is notorious for throwing curveballs at the housemates and last season, Biggie's bag of tricks was full. From the Black Envelope challenge to the Pardon Me Please twist and introducing four house guests (Kim Oprah, Lucy, Prince Nelson, and Sholzy) into an already boiling pot, Biggie shocked us all, keeping us glued to our screens. Hold on tight, because things are about to get wild!

Ships setting sail (and maybe sinking)
In previous seasons, we've seen friendships blossom, and romantic connections sizzle. This season, the house will be buzzing with "ships". From ships that will have us scream "God when" 😍 to "God abeg" 🙄, we are ready. But remember, in the BB Naija house, jealousy and competition can rock even the strongest connections and the relationship drama that follows is top-notch.
Who else is ready for some ship drama?

Quarrels erupting (and hopefully resolving)
Peace? Not in Biggie's house! Confined spaces and strong personalities are a recipe for fiery clashes, this season will be no exception. Brace yourselves for Big Brother Season 9 is sure to be filled with drama, fueled by clashes over chores, and heated debates about wager preparations. Will our new housemates find ways to forgive and forget, or will these quarrels leave lasting scars? Tune in to find out!

Tasks that test and entertain
In past seasons, our housemates all participated in tasks that revealed their hidden strengths and sometimes, weaknesses. From the intense Head of House challenges and wagers to the sometimes hilarious sponsored tasks, the housemates will be kept on their toes. Expect these tasks to not only determine leadership and rewards, but also how their aftermath affects the dynamics of the house.

Party time!
Truth be told, the parties in the Big Brother Naija house have always been lit 🔥 and we expect them to be top-notch this season. Thursday night pool parties and Saturday Night Raves are not just breaks from the game; they're opportunities for the housemates to let loose, socialise, and maybe even spark new connections. The highlight of these parties is the aftermath. This is when housemates treat us to some intense smooching sessions, dramatic displays from too much booze, and some unexpected shenanigans, and this season, e go plenty 😂.

The parrot's got your back (or does it 🤔?)
Who can forget the parrot from the All Stars Season? The resident parrot had a habit of squawking out private conversations, adding a chaotic twist to the game. Each time the parrot squawked, the house was turned on its head. One epic parrot drama was when it revealed a conversation that caused Doyin and Pere to lock horns leading to a hole in the wall made by Pere's fist.

Strikes and suspense
Biggie's house, Biggie's rules, and breaking them comes with consequences. From a simple warning to a potential disqualification, strikes can change the game for a housemate and what's a season without a strike (or two). This season, be prepared for moments of suspense when Big Brother gathers the housemates in the sitting room, plays their tape, and lays down the law with a strike.
