Make no mistake, Big Brother Naija remains as fickle as they come – complete with all the intrigues, antics, hate-to-love and love-to-hate and almost every other thing on the spectrum that comes with a show such as this. But as we have already said, we do not know of any other thing that has completely shaken the popular culture scene as much as this fickle show that rewards all of our guilty pleasures.

[Quick one: When was the last time anything took over Nigerian Pop Culture like #BBNaija?]

Thankfully (or not), the show is finally drawing to a close and we’ll soon move on to something else – could be Dino Melaye’s very great career in music or Pablo Kosibar’s very good judgement, for an 18-year-old . I t literally could be anything but we just have to get this business of #BossNation building finished first.

The question is how did we move from point A to T? How did the same “manipulative” and “snobbish”, “thinks-she’s-better-than-everyone-else-so-she-won’t-dance-with-others” become Nigeria’s heartthrob, trending worldwide on Twitter?

Well, it’s most likely not her Romanian fans, if she has any. It’s all Nigeria and it’s only another example of how quickly our interests and loves can shift.

But really, why do Nigerians love TBoss? Why have over 2 million people voted to keep her in the house? And we do not dispute those numbers one bit because we saw, in real life, people “donate” all 100 We Chat votes to her cause.

Our theory is that it is simply because we like to associate with the “finer things”. And right now, that is what TBoss represents in the house: pretty, confident for the most part, can hold her own, half-caste, and God! doesn’t look monstrous when she’s pissed.

It’s also because at the end of the day, despite what we say, tweet, Instagram… no one really likes real.

We like to say we are and will even easily chill with people who claim to be real, down-to-earth and blunt. But deep down, we all aspire to be calculating, always collected, know the right words to say at the right time and Lord knows, we all desire that elusive mix of sass, class and calm. Make no mistake, it’s what we all want.

Think about how annoying all those “real” boys and girls in your secondary school became by SS2. They probably just started to look dirty. The kids these days will say “ratchet”.

And TBoss is sooo not ratchet. Classy is all she’s been. Even when you hated her. Even when she made that comment that sounded like she was admitting to having “sugar daddies”; she just somehow made it sound okay – aspirational even – to have people who want to fly you in their private jets for nothings.

And she knew it; even when you did not know what you wanted. She served it to you. Without honey.

It was bitter at first but now you have acquired the taste.

It’s necessary. Don’t worry; we know you’ll try to deny it at first. But that’s okay too.
