Chimsom Chuka secured the first Head of House title of BBNaija Season 11 after winning the inaugural Head of House Challenge with a time of 2:08.17, earning immunity from the week’s first eviction according to show organizers. The opening round of the “Show Ya Sef” season established immediate strategic shifts as Biggie introduced rule twists affecting lounge access and the nomination process.
Men’s and Women’s Rounds Decide the Inaugural Title
The initial challenge required male and female housemates to compete separately in an arena timed event. According to show producers, contestants were buzzed out progressively until only the fastest contenders remained in the running.
Ricky stepped up as the first competitor for the men, but Chimsom Chuka, running as the third contestant, set a blistering pace of 2:08.17 that remained unbeaten through the rest of the men’s round. During the subsequent women’s heat, Sheba briefly held the top position before Abi posted a faster time to claim the fastest female spot. Abi’s performance earned her the title of Deputy Head of House alongside Chimsom Chuka, according to the official game results.
Lounge Privileges and Nomination Twists Change Week One
Winning the Head of House title did not grant Chimsom Chuka automatic access to the exclusive Head of House Lounge, marking a format change for the season. Instead, Chimsom Chuka drew a random name from a lucky dip box and selected Tram.
Tram exercised the unexpected privilege by choosing Sheba to join him in the lounge, making Tram and Sheba the season’s first occupants. Following the arena events, housemates entered the Diary Room to name two fellow contestants for possible eviction. Ricky emerged as the most nominated housemate, with Bells, Nomy, and Sultex close behind, while Cassi, Goddessa, and Oyin also received multiple votes.
Biggie introduced a final twist after the voting concluded, announcing that every housemate except Head of House Chimsom Chuka would be eligible to become The Gambit. Viewers can cast votes for their preferred housemates on the Africa Magic website, mobile site, or via the MyDStv and MyGOtv apps, with voting open from Mondays at 9:00 PM WAT until Thursdays at 10:00 PM WAT.
