Former Big Brother Naija star Adekunle criticized fans for overemphasizing love triangles.
He urged viewers to focus on housemates’ talents, activities, and the real entertainment value.
Former Big Brother Naija housemate Adekunle has expressed disappointment with the way fans are following the ongoing season of the reality show.
He argued that too much attention is being placed on relationships, and love triangles, while the true entertainment value of the program is being ignored. According to him, fans should pay more attention to the housemates’ different personalities, talents, and the variety of activities designed to keep the show engaging.
Adekunle reminded viewers that the show is ultimately a game, and contestants often adopt certain roles to achieve their goals. By focusing on just a few housemates and their relationships, he said, fans are limiting the season’s full potential.
Sharing his thoughts on X, he wrote:
“You guys aren’t enjoying this show and it sucks. I haven’t watched the show since Wednesday, and I hoped to get updates on the TL. But instead, it’s talk about alleged ships, potential ships and the drama within the triangles.”
“There are 26 people in that house and more than half of them are incredibly entertaining. THIS IS AN ENTERTAINMENT SHOW, not a show about love. I’m genuinely asking now, because I don’t get it. What exactly is the entertaining value in-boy likes girl, boy goes after girl.-girl likes the attention, girl plays hard to get.-boy talks to other girls, girl talks to other boys. Yes, it’s a storyline, but come on guys!”
He further stressed that in nine seasons of the show, only a few relationships have survived outside the house, yet fans still focus heavily on them. Adekunle urged viewers to embrace the bigger picture, noting that house activities such as pool parties, wager presentations, and curated events were created to enhance the audience’s experience.
“Remember that everyone in that house is playing a game. Some people get in there knowing exactly what they want to do. Others figure it out while they’re in there, while others have to constantly remind themselves where they are and that – it’s all still a game.”
“There was a pool party, a wager presentation and other things this week. These things are curated for the viewers experience. Allow yourselves to be entertained by EVERYTHING, not just the drama. Don’t make these housemates come out and pretend to be something they’re not just because they want to satisfy the fans.”
“This season has the potential to be one of the best, but we’ll dilute it if we focus on just a handful of the housemates. Let’s enjoy the SHOW. Let’s focus on ENTERTAINMENT!”
