Drama Queen Zita sent packing from BBNaija

The Big Brother Naija Season 10 house, already simmering with alliances and animosities, lost another vibrant contender tonight as Elizabeth “Zita” Oloruntola, the 24-year-old actress from Lagos, was evicted in a tense live show.

Known affectionately as “Barbie” for her glamorous flair and unapologetic style, Zita’s departure marks the second in a rapid-fire triple eviction that also claimed housemates Mide, leaving fans buzzing and the remaining contestants on edge as the finale looms.

“This is the end of the game for Zita. She served unforgettable highlight moments, and her Diary Sessions were fun to watch. We wish Barbie the best as she steps into greatness,” BBNaija said on its X handle.

Zita entered the “10/10” edition on July 26 as one of 29 housemates, bringing her acting chops and a penchant for drama that kept audiences hooked.

Described in her pre-show profile as a fierce competitor with a heart of gold, she aimed to leverage the platform for her career, often blending emotional vulnerability with sharp wit in Diary Sessions that became must-watch moments.

Her highlights included winning Head of House (HOH) in Week 8, a triumphant turnaround after skeptics predicted an early exit, and heartfelt breakdowns that humanized her amid the house’s cutthroat dynamics.

However, Zita’s run wasn’t without turbulence. Just days before eviction, she received a double strike from Big Brother for a physical altercation with Rooboy, where she allegedly threw food at him during a heated argument—one more infraction away from disqualification.

The incident, stemming from a task gone wrong, escalated tensions and put both at risk, with fans divided on whether it sealed her fate. Critics labeled her “aggressive,” citing prior clashes like pushing Koyin or slamming doors, while supporters argued it was passion under pressure.

“Zita has anger issues but Biggie encouraged physical violence,” one viewer tweeted, highlighting the show’s tolerance for drama.
