The game began with 23 housemates, but as the competition became more difficult, several were dismissed, leaving us with the final six remaining as they speculate on who will win.

They aren't the only ones that are curious about who will win the competition. We are all in the same boat, but we can only estimate and forecast who will win based on patterns and events that have occurred over the last three months.

In this post, we examine the finalists and their strengths in order to determine who will win the event on Sunday.

First, who are the finalists?

We know you know them by name, but who are they in relation to the show and the stance they have in the grand scheme of things?

Ipeleng

This South African housemate is perhaps the trailblazer in the house with the highest number of first-to-dos, from being the first female to win the arena game to being the first housemate with a guaranteed slot in the finale, among others.

She may have had a successful tenure on the program for a variety of reasons, but her fandom is not the strongest on the outside.

Ebubu

The Nigerian housemates grabbed many hearts on the first night and are undoubtedly one of the audience's favorites.

Whether as a tactic or for genuine, this person emanates an aura of honesty that has won him many fans.

Because of his humble demeanor, the participants see him as the underdog inside the house.

Khosi

Khosi…Khosi…Khosi… Khosi would be the individual who saw the notorious shege. This housemate is arguably one of the strongest in the house, and we believe she had clear strategies, stayed focused, and gained from what was widely acclaimed as a toxic relationship with evicted housemate Yemi, kissing Thabang, breaking down during diary sessions, and being up for eviction every week.

She manages to trend every other week, demonstrating how unique she is on the program.

Kanaga Sr.

Another intriguing roommate who had a nice time on the program. He is entertaining to watch since he is known for giving advise, offering fascinating information, and orchestrating faux battles. He stands out as a finalist of the highest caliber.

Tsatsii

We can also leave this housemate's canvas blank. Except from a few love tales here and there, she didn't deliver anything that might ensure her a position in our eyes as a winner. To be honest, the only reason she's in the finals is because she won Head of House at an unusual moment.

Yvonne

To be honest, we have no idea how she made it to the finale. She hasn't done anything except than being close to the recently ousted Justin. Her fan following is the most deafeningly quiet. Perhaps they are simply silent movers who are causing havoc, but we don't see her breaking into the top three.

Who do our analysts think will win, and why?

Khosi

Khosi will win, according to Solape Solape, since she "went through a lot" and never wavered.

In her own words, "Khosi is my pick. She has weathered the test of time with several nominations and has never finished last."

Kelvin

Kelvin, caught with the problem of deciding between Ebubu and Kanaga Jr., remarked, " "Ebubu can be predicted since he is just himself. He is not superficial in any way. If he doesn't win, Kanaga Junior, who is really gifted, may."

Crackit

He was also caught between picking from the three strongest finalists: Ebubu, Khosi, and Kanaga Jnr. He finally threw his weight behind his most preferred housemate, Ebubu.

He said, "Ebubu, an underdog obviously. He has not been tested that much, as he was rarely up for eviction per se. Will that work for or against him? I don't know. Na Ebubu I want make e win."

Doris

Doris thinks Khosi will win the show, and her reasons border on the South African housemate's resilience and fanbase.

"I would say Khosi because she seems to be a strong contender given the amount of time she has survived eviction; she has literally been up every week of nomination in the show," she said.

Talking about her fans, Doris opined, "Her fans are also consistent with their votes because she hasn't dropped or appeared at the bottom of the result polls, unlike some other contenders like Kanaga and Yvonne, who have had lapses. Another reason is because I think she has given us a good show. Whether good or bad, there's always something to say about her. Then there's the possibility that Thabang's fans might vote for her since their favourite is rooting for her to win the show. We can't deny the fact that he has a relatively strong fan base."

Inem

Predicting the winner as Kanaga Jr., Inem’s reason is solely that the housemate is loved by both men and women and he didn’t cause trouble in the house. According to her, Big Brother Naija Lockdown season 5 contestant Laycon was the same way, and he emerged the winner.

"Because he is the most likeable person, he doesn't have wahala. The ladies and guys love him," she said.

Debby

The value that Kanaga Jr. has is the reason why Debby thinks he will win the show. According to her, "He brings a lot of value outside the house, and many brands and filmmakers will be looking to feature him in their businesses or films. He just has that vibe to him. I think he will win."

Babatunde

Torn between Khosi and Ebubu, he finally picked Khosi, his reason being almost the same as everyone else's. According to him, “The Big Brother franchise has been a game of numbers, and many times more than not, the winners have been the persons with the largest fanbase, so it stands to reason that the winner of this year’s edition of the show will be Khosi, who is by far the one with the largest and most devoted fanbase. But, since this is the first edition of this conglomeration franchise, things might change. I mean, there’s always a first time for everything. Asides that, Khosi is sure to win.”
