The breakdown of Nina and Miracle’s once red-hot dalliance has thrown the entire House for a loop. Following a day fraught with tension and tears, the estranged couple’s closest friends, Alex and Tobi, headed to the privacy of the bedroom to try and make sense of it all.

Speaking after an emotional heart-to-heart with a visibly upset Nina, Alex seemed convinced that there was a lot more to the gripping drama that is the implosion of Mina, than meets the eye. At the heart of her suspicions, is strategy on Nina’s part. Despite the fact that Nina has asserted that her connection with Miracle is real even if she is spoken for outside the house, Alex feels it was all part of her game-plan from ‘Day 1’.

Tobi, on the other hand, seemed taken aback by how a matter so trivial could escalate to such dizzying heights so quickly and proceeded to place the blame on the looming Finale and everyone’s subsequent return to normal life in the outside world. According to Tobi, Nina’s connection with Miracle may be real, but the former is probably jittery about how her partner might receive her when she goes back home.

Getting to the bottom of it

During this past Sunday’s Live Eviction Show, Ebuka asked Nina about her relationship with Miracle and she confidently called him her “best friend”. Fearing that Miracle would think she was trivialising their special bond, she went on a ‘making amends and clearing the air' tour that has descended into a mess of epic proportions. Through all of this, Nina has continued to voice out her hurt and frustration over Miracle blatently ignoring her and insinuating she never truly liked him, when that is far from the truth.

It is no secret that Tobi, Miracle and Alex are as thick as thieves (Miralex, anyone) so it remains to be seen how the breakdown in relations between the two lovebirds will affect the House. For now, Miracle is hurt, Tobi and Alex are treading carefully and Nina says it’s over. But is it?
