She said it would have been wise for them to have put her up for possible eviction this week but they didn’t because “we have bonded so well and they are now seeing beyond the game.”
She stated this while answering questions from the host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu during the live eviction show on Sunday.
Ebuka asked: “Mercy Eke, you seem surprised that you weren’t nominated this week. Why did you think the housemates didn’t like you?”
Mercy Eke responded: “It’s not about liking. I think they already know that I am a big threat so it would be wise to put me out there. I take it like we are now family so we have bonded so well and they are now seeing beyond the game but they still think I am a threat.”
Mercy is the only previous winner to make it to the All-Star final. She qualified for the final after the housemates failed to put her up for possible eviction.
