At the end of the ninth week, Sir Dee and Esther bowed out of the Pepper Dem House after a total of 63 days in the house.

11. Tacha
Call her the cat with six lives and you won’t be overstating the obvious after coming out tops in six different evictions nominations.

Her perceived arrogance keeps clearing with the week and she even felt remorse that she apologised to Biggie, viewers and Ebuka Obi-Uchendu during one of her Diary Sessions.

12. Elozonam
Elozonam is still strong after spending five weeks in the house alongside Venita and Cindy.
Winning the Veto Power once and coming tops in few challenges, which earned him some Bet9ja coins, Elozonam has been a prized asset to the groups and teams he has been with since he entered the BBNaija house. Like few other housemates, Elozonam seems to feel strong about Diane but is yet to solve the puzzle as Diane is far from him yet near to him in the same measure.
Elozonam complained about how Diane has been giving him signs that he should keep to himself but the two always find a way to rest their emotions and move on.
