[quote author=Tetehjewels post=80468632][/quote]

I feel for Frodd sha....

Dude be looking like a sober somebody...

The fear of eviction is real

Na updates you just mention like that? Updates are gold

Whilst the battle(s) was/were going on, i think people abandoned ship same as you.

The last 100 to 200 pages have been "every man for himself" when it comes to trying to understand what was happening the house.

Luckily, i think the house was boring so we might not have missed much.

Eeghe:
She is happier
Seems to have dropped the chip on her shoulder/me against the world/haters attitude
Characters can usually not be faked up until day 22 (even for the most camera conscious)
We might be seeing the real/inner her?
For like four nights now, she had been gisting with IKe, Tuoyo, Sir Dee and in the past couple of days, Mike. It is obvious she wants to be accepted, the initial arrogance was just a front
She seems to have a crush (unknowing) on Mike
My thoughts (I could be wrong though)

I always hoped the "arrogance" was just a front or her way of coping.

Not sure if the Mike thing is a crush but who knows.

I think she feels freer with the men who seem to be sure of their relationship and who are less likely to stray.

I have a feeling that she will try to avoid getting into any situationship because of her fame as an Instagram booty shaking babe.

Threebear:
Public opinion .
Tacha is controversial so she has polarising effect.
Punters pay a lot of attention to word of mouth and that inspires their decisions .
Pay no mind to it.
The real voters are not in some betting store betting away their futures.
They're in their offices working and earning money graciously.
Take a punter seriously at your own peril

So the "Punters" are the ones that initially come up with the probabilities using public opinion.

But if more people put their bet on the lower probabilities, will this change the odds?

I am talking about betting in general now and not the one related to BBN.

Lol there was one aunty that used to hold conference call prayer sessions over the phone and whenever I'd call in I'd just mute it and come back when I heard 'In Jesus' name'. Scenario reminded me of Khaffi lol

ibkayee:
Lool bless her, I imagine she's the kind you can mute on your phone whilst she talks, take a nap, wake up and she won't notice because she'd still be talking

OMG, I have seen this happen in real life...

A friend was on the phone with her sister and actually dozed off. She woke a few minutes later and just continued with those soothing noises (um, erm, ahhh, yes ) whilst the sister was still talking nineteen to the dozen...

XML33:
I'm going to avoid mathematical jargon and explain this as easily as I can.

The numbers against each person is the probability that they'd win. The numbers are known as odds. The higher the odds the less likely it is that the bet would be won. You can think of odds as fractional equivalents of chances of the bet being won.

For instance, Tacha's odds of winning are 5.00. It means she has a 1 in 5 chance of winning or 1/5 chance of winning. You can interpret it as a 20% chance of winning.

People like Thelma have 18 odds which is a 1/18 chance of winning = 5.5% chance of winning.

Whatever money is placed on a bet gets multiplied by the odds of that bet.

Thank you. Luckily "probability" is familiar for me. Just did not realise that 5 was supposed to represent 1:5.

Thanks again.

amehrada:
I think it has to do with popularity factor in this case. In football, they(bookmakers) look at the teams form, head to head, key players available etc... What I'm saying is that in this case, I don't know all the factors they looked at before arriving at those values for each housemate. You know what I mean. Lol

Thank you for trying

I used to think betting was about how many people were willing to place their money for or against a theory e.g. 22 to 7 etc so I was surprised to just see one sided "values".

Eeghe:
My least liked housemate this season
Sheesh

I don't know why I feel she is contrived.

She can be adorably naive but still incredibly "planned".

I just don't know

amehrada:
The lower the number, the higher the person's chance of winning.

That part is obvious. But how did they arrive at the numbers?

Damn! Khafi is so long winded!!!!

1 question 50 answers.

Be like biggie has gone on ciggie break...

Anyway sha, she has found a way to bring back her issues with Jeff and Kim (Just to cut long story short)

XML33:
Current Bet9ja odds for BBNaija.

It's safe to say that Tuoyo is 100% going to be evicted tomorrow and Mike and Tacha are 100% not going to be evicted tomorrow.

Based the odds, Bet9ja(the chief sponsors of the show) currently see Tacha as having the highest chance of winning the entire show, followed by Mercy & Omashola then Mike.

Please could you explain what the numbers against each person means?

Why is Tacha with 5 a more likely winner than the person with 18?

Eeghe:
She was gisting with Tuoyo a lot during Ike’s party
How she was raised in a home with hardship
Mom’s sisters never looked out for her after her death etc
And how it was particularly hard during her second year
She had to start her hustle to be able to take care of her twin and herself
Basically that
Not much, but she shared and it was like she meant what she was saying
It was very late/very early and she seemed like she was talking to Tuoyo and not an audience if you get what I mean
I watched her cos of you/ and I was also idle
Sorry that you can’t watch a lot now (hope you are having a great time though)
Cheers hon

Thank you darling.

safarigirl:
I hate this whole Ike vs. Mike argument that has permeated this thread. These two guys are 2 peas in a pod in the house and you would think their fans would get along without all these mud slinging. I like the both of them a lot, so, the slander is uncomfortable to read, especially on Ike's person.

Dominique, I particularly want to address your comment on the possibility of Ike selling drugs. Just because a person deals drugs at certain times in their lives for the purpose of making money, does not mean they will do such when you give them money.

Do you know Jay-Z was a drug dealer? The same Jay-Z is now a billionaire musician, helping out hundreds of people to bettwe their lives. Motivating and inspiring people with his music, teaching financial freedom to those still stuck in that circle of violence he hustled his way out of.

It is unfair to judge people based on their past mistakes. A man is made, not just by the good he has done in life, but the bad things too. You think Ike has not learned his lesson from that arrest?

If we decide that we will not give people chances because they have done some bad things when they were younger, then, many people castigating Ike on this thread will be stuck in their past failures.

Well said Safarigirl! Well said!

Both guys are lovely in their own ways and a chance at something good can turn even the hardest criminal in the right direction.

Ah ah Tuning in to see diary sessions on a saturday..

What happened to Tacha though? She seems to be more relaxed in the diary room.

Its like her "thight face" attitude is relaxing small small.

Eeghe:
Lol
Hope you are becoming proud of your girl?
She was very happy in the early hours and told her story, which like you guessed, has been hard
I am opening my heart to her again
Good morning doll

Mily, I feel so sad. I have only been able to watch in dribbles and this will continue till end of july

So majority of what I know for the past 1 week is what I can eke out from in-between the arguments and de-marketing going on here.

Please update me with her story. She is such a closed in one. Who did she spill to? I read from here that she seems to be a bit free with Sir Dee.

In other news, I see that battle lines are being drawn between Team Mike and Team Ike

eksbabe:
Mercy- you quench the flame in me, you walked right into my heart. I see myself thinking about you, and I keep questioning myself if I am doing the right thing. I can’t deny the fact that I like you a lot, I like the gangster in you and I also like the sweet baby boy in you.

You ‘reseted’ my brain and i’ll kill you for that.

Seriously? This is "ruv wantintin"

Eeghe:
I would never ever want to support the same housemate as you
Ever
Chai!

Oh Mily! You are becoming savage

creolehunt:
Jesus!!! Bro, what the fvck?

If you marry threebear, una pikin go be towncrier.

Munzy14:
All this epistle no deh pay o..
Small uppercut u are writing epistle...

You are such a pot stirrer

Almost impossible to track Khafi's explanations to Jeff about how she perceives him...

Koko is that Jeff says 1 sentence and Khafi replies with 58 sentences and the vicious cycle continued until biggie went to advert.

We are hopeful that the conversation will end by the time the adverts are done and each one of them will know where they might have gone wrong or been misunderstood...

After apologising to Khafi and getting a hug in return, Jeff is asking Khafi to let him know what exactly upset her to the point of her running off on him.

Khafi explains that he seems to be constantly "rubbing" his good acts on the face of the person he helps.

Jeff explains that he referring to his good acts is to show that he has no ill intentions but that Khafi seems to misinterpret things.

Threebear:
All these sympathy votes for Frodd

Sunday will be shocking

Imagine on Sunday Ebuka says ...Frodd and Tuoyo have a seat , you're safe.

Viewers will just faint left right and centre....

Geezeem:
Bloooddy witch hunter

MizzD:
Yup she blamed Kim and Jeff for this. Said the two of them ganged up against her and referred to the fact that they kept coming to ask for the number of coins she had. She believed it was this information they used to help their friends get ahead of her. She eventually sorted this with Jeff, but never forgave Kim

And once she has something fixed in her head, it takes a lot of time for her to let go.

Housemates have taken the opportunity of biggie opening the front doors to take a break from their rehearsals.

Esther trying to get everybody back outside to continue rehearsals.

Mercy seems to be lagging behind and Ike comes back inside to "harass" his babe for some kissy kissy action but Mercy was able to deny the bloke after some friendly "struggling".

DoubleeDee:
Khafi is totally unrealistic.
First, she's struggling with the lyrics and the correct tune of the song. Jeff has been trying to help her and rather than appreciate his assistance she's trying to cover up her ineptitude by playing a victim. Up till now she's still not getting the song and even Gedoni has been correction her.

This is not the first time I have noticed this. She went on and on about Kim in the week she was almost evicted. Instead of her to be proactive about getting more coins, she chose to blame someone who was strategic....

So the solo position that Khafi rejected in annoyance was kinda seconded to Esther.

As Sir Dee starts to re-arrange, Khafi says she is okay with singing if her voice does not disappoint but on learning that Esther has been used as a replacement, says that she is fine with Esther taking the solo.

Sir Dee explains that they will prefer for Khafi to do it but they were only putting a backup in place.

Esther says she prefers Khafi to do the singing but she was not willing to beg anybody (she said this as an aside so Khafi did not hear her )

Anyway, Gedoni gets Jeff to go meet Khafi who is with Mike and Mike was able to explain Khafi's feelings to Jeff. Jeff promptly apologises to Khafi and says that they will surely get the song done...

Biggie goes to advert and all is well I guess.

Khafi is willing to report Jeff to a mosquito if the mosquito dares to show interest

So she has reported Jeff's "prideful" ways to Gedoni, Diane, Omatsola and now Mike..

Khafi is in tears saying her voice is going....

Gedoni consoling her and telling her to rest her voice and just learn the lyrics.

Diane comes over to ask her what is wrong.

Khafi updates Diane that she asked Jeff for help on the lyrics and he was being mean because of a misunderstanding. (So she asked him but he was not ready and by the time he came back, she told him she wanted to rest her voice because she felt it was going).

She says she apologised for the misunderstanding but he kept on being mean. She thinks he is really proud and this is not the first time she has felt that he has pride as a character trait.

Gedoni says he was probably being like that because Khafi called him out in front of everybody.

Diane continues consoling Khafi and advises that she should try to wing the song if she does not remember all the lyrics.
