BBNaija Eviction Vodcast episode 1: “I collapsed backstage after I was evicted”
The first episode of the BBNaija Eviction Vodcast, hosted by Elozonam, dropped yesterday evening, and things got off to a juicy start when Christy O shared that she collapsed backstage after she was evicted from the BBNaija house.
“When Ebuka called my name I was disappointed in myself, but I was holding it together and I went out. I was just trying to control myself but then when I got backstage, I don’t know what came over me, the next thing I just felt really dizzy, and then I was on the floor, I think Cyph helped me. I literally collapsed right there.”

She said that she’s better now and adjusting to the reality of having been evicted barely two weeks into the show.
On how she ended up on the chopping block, Christy O shared that she was very shocked to have been nominated by Hermes as she had no business with him. She can only conclude that Hermes took note of her during the BBNaija tasks when Bryann would chant, “Christy O with the drums”.
“I was eating before and I almost choked when I heard my name. Thinking about it, I think it was the drumming situation because my housemates were really shouting ‘Christy O, you dey drum’ repeatedly and the name Christy O can stick in your head.”

Also on the show was Cyph, who shared that, weirdly, getting nominated by Hermes made him feel strong because it meant he was perceived as a threat.
But that’s not all Cyph had to say about Hermes. Asked who he would evict if he had the power to evict one housemate, Cyph responded that it would be, you guessed it … Hermes!
“I would choose Hermes because, for some weird reason, Level 1’s high-spiritedness revolves around him. Also from a tactical point, I would go after him than the rest, cut off the head first.”
Speaking of Level 1 housemates, Elozonam quizzed Cyph on his “long-distance” relationship with Level 1 housemate Doyin. Asked if the relationship was real, Cyph responded that it was. Hello, shippers!
“I actually feel it was real. If after the two months we reconnect, I’m game.”
Watch Christy O and Cyph’s audition video, their candid impression of their fellow housemates, why it took Christy O so long to open up, and other juicy tidbits on the debut episode of the BBNaija Eviction Vodcast.
The BBNaija Eviction Vodcast streams on Showmax on Wednesdays at 7pm WAT.
