Sandra Essien, the recently evicted Big Brother (BBTitans) housemate, says being paired with Theo Traw led to her removal from the reality TV show. 

In a chat with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Sandra said she had doubts about progressing in the show the moment she was paired with Traw, who she described as a “nonchalant person”.

“Yes. The moment I was paired with him. I was just like you have to just take me out now. I felt like it is about to be a wrap,” she said.

“You know there’s something that happens – iron sharpeneth iron. I know I am fire. You can’t take that away from me, but it was quite unfortunate that I was paired with the most nonchalant person ever. He’s okay, but probably not for me.

“But say I saw the eviction coming. I knew people were gonna put me up for eviction. It was both of us and I was just like okay this thing is done. I was kinda hoping we would stay more but it happened. It is what it is.

“I get iffy. Because I am a fire bulb. I would have loved someone who would, you know, wake me up. Just be at my pace and I think I had to slow down for him to catch up. And I think trying to run at my own pace.

“I tried but I was so iffy. I wasn’t having it.

“I’m not putting it all on him. I should have done better.

Asked if she would iron things out with Traw, Sandra said “he and his negative energy should keep off.”

“Now this is no more a controlled environment. I can choose not to exist,” she added.

Biggie, the instructive voice, had earlier paired the 24 housemates with their opposite gender.

He also said whatever happens to a housemate, their partner will be affected.
