To the surprise of viewers, Big Brother, dubbed Biggie, has abandoned the pairing arrangement for housemates.

The competition for the $100,000 grand prize will now take place among the housemates as a result of this new development.

Biggie paired the housemates a few weeks back and told them to compete against one another for the reward.

Once Big Brother informed the housemates of the pairing system’s breakup and urged them to discuss their previous partners, it was an emotional Monday evening.

While they talked about their former lovers, the housemates started crying.

Ipeleng of South Africa won the Head of the House (HOH) game. She gets veto power and exemption from eviction this week.

Last Sunday, fans witnessed the first double eviction and saw the exit of Yemi Cregx and his partner, Nelisa (Yelisa) as well as Juicy Jay and Olivia (Juiovla).

Both pairs finished last on the leaderboard with 15.39% and 15.10% of the total votes, respectively.

Fans are keen to find out who will be the final man or woman standing as the solo rule puts housemates in danger of being evicted themselves.
