Big Brother Naija Season 11 housemate, Abisola “Abi” Ayoola has won Head of House for the second time, defeating Gerard in the final of Monday’s challenge.

The win makes her the first woman this season to take the title twice. She first held it in Week 4 and now leads the house in Week 6. Chimsom Chuka remains the only man to have won it twice.

Privileges that had been stripped or randomised are coming back with the role. There was no Lucky Dip for the HoH Loft. The loft now belongs to the Head of House, so Abi is the first winner this season to use it herself. She chose Temi Nkem to join her.

Organisers also said this week’s Head of House may compete again next week, ending the rule that barred an outgoing winner from the next challenge. After the contest, Big Brother cancelled the usual nomination saves following talk in the house about alliances and possible rescue votes.

The changes give Abi more comfort and more influence as the Show Ya Sef edition heads deeper into the middle weeks.
