Soma
Soma is one of the few participants who almost immediately left the show. He was the first to be evicted from the house.
He did not have a special temper or quarrels in the house, but he was nevertheless remembered for his relationship with Gifty.
Summing up all his actions in the show, we can say that the man left a trace in the heart of every viewer, it was interesting to watch him. He called it “Telemundo kind of drama” and promised viewers that they would like him.
After participating in the famous show, as befits the son of a musician, Soma went into music. He had several successful and loud performances that supported his fame after the show. But it was already a completely different glory.
Soma made his debut as an actor in the hit series "Jenifa’s Diary."
Miyonse
After Soma left the Big Brother show, Miyonse was the second to depart. At that time, the guy was 24 years old. The audience remembered Miyonse for his culinary skills. To say that he cooked wonderfully means to say nothing. It seems the flavor of his food came through the screens. So you wanted to stretch and take a piece.
One of the reasons for his departure from the show was a controversial relationship with TBoss. Other participants even say that it was she who influenced his departure.
After the project, Miyonse was not left without attention. He began to engage in cooking actively. Miyonse set a goal to become the best chef in the country, and we are confident that he will succeed.
Miyonse is now Indomie and Ajinomoto brand ambassador.
Coco Ice
Coco Ice was the third participant to leave the Big Brother show. The viewers remembered the incredible beauty of the girl not with her stunning appearance, but with shocking acts. For example, the game of truth or action plunged all residents of the house into shock, or instead, Coco’s deed. We only saw some moments, but imagine what had happened behind the camera.
Ice has always been bold and courageous, therefore, it is not surprising that she was not afraid to commit fearless acts. She remained an eccentric personality for all viewers.
Now, Coco Ice is diligently engaged in her musical career. The girl has released her first successful single titled "Feeling My P" immediately after leaving the show.
As for personal life after the show, Coco knew the failures in romance. All her relationships ended in brake-ups. This was a very emotional change for Ice, after which she decided to focus only on her musical career. According to Coco Ice herself, she used to be much more emotional, but now she is trying to control herself.
Now, she works very hard to achieve great success. She constantly disappears to practice, trains her voice and dreams of becoming a great singer.

One of her talents was a parody. She could parody anyone, she changed the accent with such skill that the viewers and residents of the house did not have time to learn, who exactly was copied by Gifty. She knew how to entertain and always brought a smile.

After leaving the show, the girl's life changed absolutely. She launched her vlog and later opened a London Wig store in Lekki. But after a while, she realized that all this was completely not what she wanted to do because Uriel returned to music. She blew up a musical hit parade with the single "Desire."
