Housemates woke up happy today, constantly chatting about making it to the Top 10 and wondering how they’ve managed to get this far. The excitement in the house was tangible as they reflected on their journey so far.

Drama kicked off later in the day as tensions flared between Dede and Kola. Kola confronted Dede, accusing her of gaslighting him. While he tried to explain himself, Dede quickly interrupted, telling him he mustn’t “crash out.” Things took a wardrobe twist when Kola spotted a shirt and insisted it was a man’s shirt. Dede jokingly said, it was hers but had been bought by Kaybobo. Kola wasn’t impressed, frowning at the shirt for a long moment. 

The conversation soon turned personal, exposing some unresolved tension between the two. Kola asked why they weren’t on good terms, and Dede insisted everything was fine. When he asked if she wanted him to leave her alone, she said yes — which clearly didn’t sit well with Kola. “Wow,” he muttered, and Dede why he would even ask him that. She admitted she was grumpy and reminded him she had the right to be. She also explained her frustration with his constant assumption that she was mad at him even when she isn’t. She said she just doesn’t always speak her mind anymore.

Meanwhile, a lighter moment unfolded as Isabella and Koyin shared some downtime. Isabella joked about coming to the show and giving viewers a “show” of her own. She playfully told Koyin he should thank her for the food she's been cooking for him, adding that she's been feeding him. Koyin, however, didn’t seem impressed and told her to stop acting as if she were doing him a favour.

Earlier in the day, Kola shared a quiet, reflective moment with Imisi. He admitted that he wanted to understand what people saw in him that kept him in the house, revealing that during his brief chat with family yesterday, he asked his mum if they were proud of him.

Imisi, in turn, confessed that she wondered if her sister was proud of her too. She said that even though she had made it this far, seeing her sister yesterday left her uncertain about whether she truly felt proud.
