(Prime), Paul Manuwa (P.Scholes), Okemiri Uloma Margaret (Uloma),
Omodele Diana Fatoki (Modele) and Ese-Amadasun Imuetiyan (Nex2).
For
some, making the top 12 cut was a rather easier task with a lot of
thanks to their performances and the public voting process. Others had
to travel the nervy route laden with uncertainties, happenstance and the
Judges’ Wild Card to get to this stage.
In the first eviction
show featuring 10 contestants from an initial pool of 30, Prime, Dolu
and Preye expectedly got the nod ahead of seven others after posting
outstanding performances to position as the brightest choices of both
the judges and the viewing public.
The second batch was dubbed
the ‘Group of Death’ on the strength of its consisting of the
competition’s leading contenders in Brenda, Modele, Sther, Tama Nisa,
Shayee and Classic Tunez.
At the end of proceedings, Brend, Tama
Nisa and Nex2 emerged victorious, but not without some displeasure from
the judges over Nex2’s qualification. He had been dubbed the ‘worst
performer’ from the pack. Tama Nisa however, pulled out of the
competition on health grounds, and was subsequently replaced by Classic
Tunez who had to prove his mettle after returning to the show on the
Judges Wild Card platform.
The third batch threw up the likes
K-Peace, Ayoka and Uloma whose qualification raised some eyebrows
especially from the Judges and a section of the viewing public that
rated her performance below par.
Esther, Modele and P.Scholes
were picked to complete the puzzle by the judges through the wild card
route. They had to fend off last minute competition notably from Oluchi,
Sopriye and Precious
