Well, mixed reactions actually trailed Kaisha’s exit from the house after it emerged that she had more votes than the remaining three housemates but was still evicted.
During the old voting system, housemates would put up each other for eviction while the viewers would vote to save their favourite housemate from eviction.
Subsequently, the housemate with the lowest vote would then be evicted from the show.
With the new method of eviction, however, the regular process has been turned on its head. Now, all housemates are up for eviction and the four housemates with the lowest votes stand the risk of being evicted.
They can, however, be saved by fellow housemates who have escaped the eviction block that week.
Well, while Kaisha escaped last week, she was not quite lucky this week and she was evicted. Of the four standing housemates, however, she had the highest votes, and now viewers are outraged.
Viewers took to social media to show their displeasure as they feel that their votes no longer count. See the reactions below:
With this elimination process, someone with 0 votes can even survive eviction, while someone whose fans voted for will leave.

I said this before and I'm still saying it again .
It is unfair for @BBNaija to tell viewers to vote for their favorites in the house and then housemates decides who leaves or stays, it is robbery. It happened to Lilo and now Kaisha. @Ebuka#BBNaijaLocdown #BBNaija pic.twitter.com/zFlb41OoQk

BRING BACK OLD VOTING PROCESS.
Are they trying to bring unity among housemates? Is that why we watch? We need war! They should be real and not pretend.
Perhaps, we’d stop voting and let HMs eliminate those they want. #BigBrotherNaijaLockdown2020 Lilo Kaisha #BBNaijia pic.twitter.com/ymINFrYjhW

Tbh this new voting method is annoying as hell.. Why do the housemates get to decide who stays or leaves.
