From playful banter and romance to heartfelt gratitude speeches, the house was buzzing well into the night.
Isabella and Koyin: The romance continues
Isabella and Koyin were inseparable after the live show. At one point, Isabella sat between Koyin’s legs while he relaxed on the swing, asking for a sip of his drink as they laughed together. She told him how good it felt to have made it this far in the game and admitted she was happy to be here until the end. Their chemistry was on full display as Isabella pulled Koyin in for a kiss, saying she missed him. Jason Jae teased the pair, telling them to give viewers what they wanted, which led to another kiss that had the housemates cheering. Later, Isabella asked Koyin to spoil her, and the two walked back inside with Isabella hugging him tightly from behind.
Despite their closeness, Isabella expressed some mixed emotions during the night. She mentioned feeling sad and even playfully called Koyin out for not clapping during her speech, though he explained he was just carried away in the moment.
Laughter and banter among the housemates
Elsewhere in the House, the other finalists were keeping the energy high:
Kola and Jason played a lively game of table tennis while Dede and Faith stuck to pool. Kaybobo served food as Dede, Kola, Imisi, and others gathered at the table to eat and roast each other in good humour. The jokes flew thick and fast, especially around Isabella’s connections with different Housemates, sparking laughter when past kisses and playful moments were brought up. Dede in particular had everyone in stitches as she teased Kola about lasting only “30 seconds” in a playful chase, before mocking Mensan about his interest in Isabella.
At one point, Mensan jumped on Isabella in a joking attempt to kiss her in front of Koyin, with everyone laughing at the stunt.
The top ten gratitude speeches
Later in the night, emotions took centre stage as each Housemate delivered heartfelt speeches about their journey so far:
Kola expressed deep gratitude for making the top ten, thanking everyone who supported him.
Faith spoke about how he started out feeling small but now feels like a star, urging his fans to keep believing in themselves too.
Dede admitted she once felt undeserving but has grown into herself, dedicating her journey to God and her mother.
Kaybobo thanked God’s grace for carrying him this far, saying he never imagined making it to the finale.
Imisi thanked her fans and related to Dede’s struggles, saying she has found strength in the house.
Koyin credited God, fans, and his fellow housemates for his growth, sharing that he always believed he’d make it this far.
Isabella gave an emotional speech about wanting the world to see her true self, controlling her emotions better, and being grateful to her fans for keeping her till week 10.
Jason Jae reflected on his journey from feeling invisible in week one to being made HoH and surviving many ups and downs.
Sultana said her strength came from doing it for her mother, and seeing her sister again was a deeply emotional moment.
Mensan gave thanks to God, proudly recalling how he had applied for Big Brother for over eight years before finally making it.
The speeches ended on a high note, with housemates celebrating each other’s journeys and achievements.
Final moments of the night
The night wound down with lighter interactions - Jason helping Sultana loosen her dress at the back, Imisi jokingly declaring “peace to those who want peace and chaos to those who want chaos,” and Isabella and Koyin once again sharing quiet moments together.
From laughter to tears, from romance to speeches of gratitude, the Housemates gave viewers a night to remember. With the finale drawing closer, the bonds, rivalries, and raw emotions are stronger than ever and fans can’t wait to see who takes the crown.
