The first arena games of Big Brother Naija season 10 brought the heat, literally and figuratively. The stakes were high, the tension was thick, and every housemate came hungry for that number-one spot. But when the dust settled, Joanna emerged victorious, proving she didn’t come to play, she came to dominate.

The games consisted of a fun obstacle course with six challenges aimed at testing the housemates' balance, coordination, and speed:

1. Inflate and balance - Blow up a balloon, walk across a beam while bouncing it, and drop it in a basin

2. Ping-pong bounce - Bounce a ping-pong ball off a table into a crate.

3. Bead fill - Pour beads into a battle until they pass a marked line.

4.Ring toss - Throw two rings and land them on a target.

5. Cup pyramid - Build a pyramid using 21 red cups to match a sample.

6. Ball toss - Throw a coloured ball into a hole, then run to the finish line.

Kuture gave a performance that had everyone holding their breath, breezing through each stage with power and precision. It looked like the win was his, until Joanna stepped up and said, “Not today!”

With smooth moves, unwavering focus, and major cool-girl composure, Joanna smashed the course and edged out Kuture by a slim margin. The crowd? Shocked. The girls? Screaming. The message? Loud and clear: she did it for the girls.

It wasn’t just about winning, it was about making a statement. Joanna proved that grit, grace, and a little bit of quiet confidence go a long way in this game. And after her big moment, the whole House couldn’t help but take notice.

Whether it’s strategy, style, or straight-up skill, Joanna just made it clear she’s bringing all the smoke. With one arena games win already under her belt, all eyes are now watching what she does next.

Let the games truly begin.
