BBNaija 2020 1st Runner-Up, Dorathy
Dorathy Lynda Bachor is a 24-year-old entrepreneur who also emerged as the first runner of the BBNaija Season 5 show. Dorathy copped a degree in accounting from Joseph Ayo Babalola University and went on to start a procurement business after looking tirelessly for a job.
Coming into the house, Dorathy was able to garner attention from the viewers not just because of her physique but also her sass. Dorathy is witty, fun and a complete sweetheart who made sure the house was always in a good old whenever she could. She was known for her famous statement, ‘Lose my number’ which she used whenever she wanted people to know that she wanted nothing to do with them anymore albeit jokingly. Let’s talk about her journey in the BBNaija 2020 house, shall we?
Starting from her introductory video one could tell her vibe and we also saw that she is not afraid to show her huge chest. Dorathy stepped on to that stage laughing and won more hearts with her beautiful gap-toothed smile. In the house, Dorathy clinched one of her friends, Ozo in the house during a game of ‘Don’t leave me’. This relationship between the two went on to be a messy triangle involving Nengi. The entire house felt Dorathy was the sunder in the hypothetical love between Ozo and Nengi causing her to drift away from Ozo slowly.
Recall the conversation between Dorathy and Ozo in the first week where Dorathy asked him to give her space since he was the one always in her business. For a period, both housemates were cold to each other coupled with subtle hints from Dora’s friends Lucy and Ka3na who felt like Ozo was putting her in an undesirable position.
This was not the only situation Dorathy found herself in. She found herself having feelings for another housemate, Brighto and by extension got herself in another love triangle consisting of Brighto and Wathoni. Brighto liked Wathoni but both were evicted the following Sunday, making Dorathy’s heartbreak shortlived.
Lucy and Ka3na were her closest female friends in the house until ka3na was evicted and she had a misunderstanding with Lucy. Luckily as the house got smaller she was able to find one of her best friends in the house, Prince. Although they were not best of friends in the beginning, their relationship started blooming halfway through the show and Prince’s eviction in the 8th week broke her.
Dorathy was not a Head of House until day 67 in the last week when all the finalists were to take turns in being HoH. However, in week 8 she was close to being one but tied with fellow housemates Vee, Neo and Trikytee of which Trikytee emerged the winner.
Her fanbase called ‘The Exploras’ after one of her nicknames, ‘Dora the Explora’ were silent but strong in their support for their favourite putting her in the second position as the 1st runner up of the BBNaija season 5 show while Laycon won the grand prize.
