Diane
It was the end of the road for Precious Yunana ‘Diane’ Yashim, as
she couldn’t make the race to the final five in the ongoing Big Brother
Naija reality TV show, which is expected to end on Sunday, October 8.
The Monday night twist in the Pepper Dem edition of the show, which is
now in its season 4, saw Diane leave the House after being randomly
picked out from an unlucky draw.
The task of picking Diane to leave was performed by Frodd as the second
and final part of the privilege of his Ultimate Veto Power. Although the
choice wasn’t entirely in his hands as he had to pick randomly from a
magic hat.
To get the ball rolling, the Housemates were asked to fetch all
their remaining Bet9ja Coins including the big gold Bet9ja Coin they
were each given four weeks ago. The Housemates were asked to drop all
the Coins in the magic hat except the big gold Coins. Their ordinary
Bet9ja coins had become redundant at this point. It was a good thing
some of them spent theirs when they did.
Sunday night live eviction saw Ike and Elozonam leave the Big Brother
House, hence reducing the number of the Pepper Dem Gang to six
Housemates. However, for the grand finale, there are only five slots,
which means someone had to leave.
It need be noted that before the process started, a few of the Pepper
Dem Gang were assured of their presence in the finale. Seyi, by virtue
of winning the Head of House (HoH) the previous week, secured a spot for
himself in the finale. The immunity Mercy bought for herself got her
sitting in the finale, while Mike’s public save during the live eviction
show guaranteed him a spot in the finale.
Diane and Omashola were the only two housemates left without a
guarantee, hence a decision had to be made between the two on who will
bid the House goodbye. The housemates were mandated by Biggie to write
their names on their gold Bet9ja coins and dropped it in a magic hat
with the rest of the coins.
Frodd as the Ultimate Veto Power holder had to do the job of picking
which housemate to go home through an unlucky draw. This left the house
in a tense moment, as Frodd reached into the sac picking again and again
till he eventually picked Diane. This makes Diane the 21st Housemate to
leave the Pepper Dem House.
Diane as she is well known in the reality show, describes herself as an
easy-going girl, whose favourite outfit is a shirt, trousers and
sneakers. She stated that one of the highlights of her life was being
chosen as a Big Brother Naija Season Four Housemate.
The model and aspiring cook had hope to travel round the world if she
wins the N60 million prize money and try to get into the entertainment
industry as an actor or television presenter.
