The battle for the last 5 is as tricky as gunning
for the ultimate crown.
Sooner or later, many
favourites would have to see the exit door, as
painful as it is, it is an inevitability that cannot
be avoided. It is the name of the game: there
will be losers and winners.
Now, we have witnessed another dramatic
week of surprises, intrigues and pure bravado.
The set-up we had last week isn’t what have
shaped out this week. There has been a
number of changes:
Tonto Dikeh: After having been shocked and
stunned by Stephanie Okereke last week, the
controversial actress and singer is back on top,
fighting tooth and nail to claw her way back to
the top.
Stephanie Okekere: She gain the first spot last
week but overdone again by Tonto’s bravado to
reclaim her spot. She has only lost a few steps
and stands on good ground to fight all the
way.
Ebube Nwagbo: All attention is on Tonto and
Stephanie, running the race neck to neck and
nobody is watching how dangerously close
Ebube is getting to the duo. She remains
restive on 3rd but closer to the first two
stronger than ever.
Yvonne Nelson: Yvonne still has her hand on
the 4th spot but not without a challenge from
Colette who is running wild at 5th. Here, is
another duo that may be worth watching.
Colette Orji: Ever since Colette has been able
to out-muscled Angela Okorie on the 5th spot
she seems to have develop some sort of belief
and she is pushing higher than ever.
Cynthia Agholor: I said Cynthia has remained in
the game only because she has learnt to play
the game with the ruthlessness it demands.
This week, she was simply outstanding and too
hot to handle as she leapfrogged two spots to
jump to six.
Queeneth Hilbert: Just like Cynthia, Queeneth
too has demonstrated some ruthlessness to
remain in the game. The duo were very much
at each other’s throats this week, bundling
their way into the next positions.
Angela Okoria: What could be said of Angela, a
lacklustre outing in the last couple of weeks
have seen her lots plummeted. Her fighting
spirit seems to be all-time low.
Men
Yul Edochie: Even though Ramsey and Benson
are doing the best they could, the guy
continues to make them look like they aren’t
trying hard enough, or are they?
Ramsey Nouah: This top actor will need to do
more than just sitting around, hoping the game
will cheer him on. With more outing like he
has been having the last couple of weeks,
Benson might just be given the right of way he
has been honking for.
Benson Okonkwo: Benson continues to push
but the harder he pushes the more Uti seems
to be enjoying the sight of him. He is still
doing fine at third and probably having a look
into second. With a couple of weeks to go,
anything can happen.
Uti Nwachukwu: Uti has been asking questions
for sometime now and right now he seems to
be getting some answers. He took advantage of
Pope’s lacklustre week to upstage him and here
he is on 4th and looking to do more damage.
Pope Odowondo: Pope was having a bit of a
wrestle with Benson until Benson got other
ideas, leaving Pope behind and now it seems
it’s not only Benson that will leave him, even
Uti has his pound of flesh. He is 5th now.
Odunlade Adekola: It was a huge week for
Odunlade Adekola who moved three places to
clinch the 6th place, taking off Van Vicker, Ali
Nuhu and Frank Artus. He has been blowing
hot and cold too but this week was his hottest
to date.
Mike Ezuruonye: For Mike, it has become a
never ending story of eviction that never
happened. He was the last man of the last ten
yet he survived. Then he was the last ninth
man expected to go out last week and again he
didn’t. Now he sits on 7th, stunning Frank, and
Ali Nuhu
Ali Nuhu: Ali too is a specimen capable of
anything. We have seen much of that in this
quest to rule him out just yet.
