BBNaija Season 9: Shaun Explains Why He Needed Space from Victoria

• Tension Between Duos: BBNaija contestant Shaun revealed that he intended to give his duo, Victoria, space in the house due to pre-existing issues between them before the show began.
• Unexpected Reactions: Viewers were surprised by Shaun’s decision to distance himself from Victoria, as they expected the duo to be closer when first introduced on the show.
• New Connections: Shaun’s connection with Wanni, his romantic interest in the house, provided him with emotional support and helped him navigate the early days of the competition.
• Victoria’s Withdrawal: Victoria’s withdrawal into her shell during the show further solidified Shaun’s decision to focus on his relationship with Wanni, as he noted that this behavior was different from how she was before entering the house.

Shaun has opened up about the strained dynamics with his duo, Victoria, explaining on why he felt the need to distance himself from her even before entering the Big Brother house.

During a diary session with Big Brother, Shaun detailed the challenges he faced during his first week, particularly the tension between him and Victoria that stemmed from unresolved issues prior to their participation in the show.

Shaun revealed that he had entered the house with the intention of giving Victoria space, a decision that puzzled many viewers who expected the duo to be closer, especially since they were first introduced as a pair. His choice was met with confusion from the audience, who were unaware of the backstory between the two.

Despite the initial struggle, Shaun found solace in his blossoming connection with Wanni, a fellow housemate and his romantic interest. He noted that Wanni’s uplifting personality played a significant role in lifting his spirits and helping him adjust to life in the house, even though this relationship wasn’t part of his original plan.

As Victoria began to withdraw into her shell, Shaun found it easier to focus on his relationship with Wanni. He remarked that this wasn’t the same Victoria he knew before the show, indicating that the pressure of the competition might have contributed to her change in behavior.

Shanu – I struggled in the first week with my duo, we kinda had a problem before coming into the house, I came in wanting to have a space away from her a little, so when I was with Wanni, she lifted my spirit and Victoria went into her shell. #BBNaijaS9 #bbnaija cc @bbnaija pic.twitter.com/ZMVXvfabGt
