Mercedes Evicted from Big Brother Naija Season 11

On August 9, 2026, Mercedes became the second housemate to be evicted from Big Brother Naija Season 11, joining Martins, who was also eliminated from the Show Ya Self season. Mercedes, a 28-year-old self-employed performance artist and massage therapist from Delta State, promised viewers authenticity, confidence, vulnerability, and memorable moments throughout the competition.

Big Brother Naija returned for its 11th season in July 2026, featuring 24 new housemates competing for a ₦160 million grand prize. The show is currently in its third week, with housemates forming relationships and experiencing conflicts.

Earlier in the week, Mercedes won the Week 2 Head of House challenge, securing immunity from eviction and saving Chisom Chuka. In contrast, another housemate recorded the poorest performance in the challenge and received the Bench Warmer title, which comes with specific restrictions.
