Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) Season 9 contestant Fairme has revealed that his journey to the reality show was far from easy, sharing that he auditioned 9 times before finally securing a spot this season.

Fairme, who is part of the pair known as The Radicals, expressed frustration over consistently finding themselves in the bottom four of the weekly rankings.

Despite their efforts, the pair has struggled to gain traction with the viewers.

During the diary session, Fairme shared that Toby Forge, a fellow housemate, had suggested that he and his partner, Michky, change their personalities to better resonate with the audience and boost their chances of staying in the competition.

However, Fairme emphasized that he is unwilling to compromise his true self for the sake of votes.

“I don’t know why the public doesn’t like me and my partner. I auditioned nine times to be here”

“Toby forge asked me and Michky why the public has kept us in bottom four, that we should try something else. But I cannot be what I’m not! I can’t pretend.”
