Big Brother has unveiled a new twist for Season 11 of the BBNaija show, bringing back audience participation in a different form.

In an announcement on Monday, Biggie told housemates that just like last season, they will be required to vote for the ‘Most Influential Player of the Week’

The title will be awarded to the housemate who, in the opinion of their fellow housemates, has had the biggest impact on house dynamics, tasks, conversations, and overall gameplay within the week.

Each week, housemates will privately nominate one fellow housemate they consider the most influential.

Big Brother will then tally the votes and announce the winner much later.

While Biggie did not reveal the exact reward attached to the title this season, the winner will most likely get special privileges, which may include immunity, power to influence nominations, or luxury rewards.

The ‘Most Influential Player’ twist was first introduced in Season 10 and it shifted house politics significantly.

Housemates became more strategic with alliances, tasks, and conversations, knowing their peers were watching and voting.

With Season 11 already packed with twists like ‘The Gambit’, this new addition is expected to raise the stakes and force housemates to play both the game and the popularity game among themselves. (The Nation)
