BBNaija Season 9 is coming to an end! The housemates had their week 9 Head of House challenge and nominations today (September 23, 2024). From these activities, KellyRae and Sooj made it to the finale.
See how Kelly Rae and Sooj became finalists!
How Kelly Rae became a finalist of BBNaija Season 9
The housemates had their Head of House challenge earlier in the day. They had to complete a series of tasks, with the housemate that completes the tasks in the least time crowned the winner of the challenge and the new Head of House.
Luckily for him, Kelly Rae completed the tasks in the least time, making him the new Head of House. As you may already know, the head of house title comes with immunity from possible eviction in the week. This gave Kelly Rae a pass to the finale, making him the first finalist of the Big Brother Season 9.
How Sooj became a finalist of BBNaija Season 9
Sooj’s path to the finale was by escaping nominations in the Week 9 nomination show.
After the Head of House challenge, the housemates were each invited to the diary room to nominate two housemates for possible eviction from the show.
Luckily for him, Sooj escaped being nominated. Being free from possible eviction gave him a pass to the finale (joining Kellay Rae).
