Big Brother Naija reality TV star, Mercy Eke has expressed her thoughts on why she did not win the reality show a second time.
The former participant, who competed in both the 2019 and 2023 seasons, voiced her opinion that the reason she didn’t win the All Stars edition was that the voters had an allergy to winners.
Mercy made this claim in a recent Celebrity Quickies video that was uploaded to comedian AY’s YouTube channel. She claimed that although the audience had been kind the first time she appeared on the show, they had not been so friendly the second time.
The Imo-born entrepreneur claimed that she had enjoyed the second experience and would not alter a thing if given the chance since it let her see people for who they truly are.
Mercy said;
“The first time, I went into the Big Brother House, it was all cute, lovely people. I played the game and I won the show. And I thought it was all cute, then I went back for the second time, and I found out that people were allergic to winners.
They were like, ‘She had that, she can’t have it again. She has this, she can’t have it again.’ That’s why I did not win for the second time because they are allergic to winners. They were like, ‘She is already rich, give others a chance.’
This second experience, I loved it. I will not even take anything away from it because it made me see people for who they truly are. It can only be God’s doing because without this second experience I would not know a lot of things. I didn’t know that it is a crime to want to win again. But anyways, I am still a winner.”
