About Erica and Laycon...
Erica's biggest mistake was becoming friendly with Laycon and carrying on being friendly, even giving him hope, after he openly told her that he likes him.
When a guy you don't like asks you out, you must be firm with your no. Don't offer friendship and don't put him on a hook. If the guy offers friendship, then you must consider one aspect: his dating pool.
A guy with a vast dating pool will not stick around for long. He might be friends for a while but sooner or later he will get tired and move on.
A guy with a limited dating pool will glue himself to you. He knows that his chances of getting the attention of an attractive woman comes but once in a blue moon, so he will trying to make you change your mind.
Erica is arguably the prettiest babe in the house and because she's friendly and easy-going, she made friends with Laycon. She did not consider that on a normal day, Laycon doesn't have access to women like her. Now Laycon is in love and Erica is still being nice, making him believe that without Kidd in the picture, he'd stand a chance. But Kidd is not the only attractive guy in that house, and without him, Laycon still wouldn't be a choice.
It's as though, in this season of Big Brother Nigeria, they went to various gyms and packed a bunch of bodybuilders. Then they picked Laycon. The guy in charge of rearranging the weights and providing chill water, to round up.
Erica's only solution is to stop speaking with Laycon or tell him no in way that leaves him with no hope. This will inevitably result in his becoming resentful and bitter towards her. "Laycon is nice, Laycon is this". You don't want to see what a reality check will do to him and his fans. It won't be pretty. Because let's be honest: can Erica carry on like this for 71 days or until one of them is evicted? They are both fans favourites.
Erica must drop her good girl attitude. It's not playing in her favour. Laycon couldn't try that nonsense with Nengi. She will break his heart in thousands of pieces. But Erica is always laughs and smiles.
This is what happens when you refuse to tap into your attributes. You are not being arrogant for knowing that you can date a much more attractive man. You are being conscious of your opportunities and choices.
And who knows, Erica might keep going back to Kidd because she wants to escape Laycon's attention.
This story will not end well. Not for Laycon, not for Erica.
