@IamEriOluwa reacted:

"Second chances aren't common in life. And only a few people get to use the opportunity very well. Like it or hate it, we've got to give it to Liema for sustaining the fire and winning this season. And yes, she's got an unfair advantage. Congratulations."

"I'm just hearing of the show fr. The energy SA influencers could've used to promote the show, it's Nigeria this and that every blessed day."

"A whole musician against ordinary South Africans. What a waste of the housemates' time."
