BBNaija S10 Day 25-2

On Thursday evening, the air in Biggie’s house was thick with unspoken tension and a silent language understood only by those whose bonds had been tested. For Denari and Gigi Jasmine, a simple chat became an apology. It also morphed into a plea for understanding. Denari opened up, confessing that he hadn't made time for Gigi Jasmine – a friendship that had been his bedrock in the 10/10 house. 

He also unpacked his new connection with Doris, detailing how he’s been "putting in the work" to get to know her, a choice that had unintentionally pushed Gigi Jasmine away. He’d seen the anger in her eyes, the detachment that had grown between them, and he now owned it. He went on to apologise for how he had been moving, pinning a chunk of the blame on being overwhelmed by the pressures of the house. He’s also had suspicions about people using him for information, which didn’t help matters. 

Gigi Jasmine’s response was a mix of frustration and hurt. She admitted that she was angry and had tried to talk to him. She wasn’t about to be a third wheel; yet every attempt to approach him ended the same – she couldn’t burn through two minutes without Doris popping up to disrupt momentum between the pair. 

Gigi Jasmine fessed up to how she’d tried her best not to let her frustration show, but that the distance had been painful. Denari listened intently, asking how they could move forward. And while the question still hangs in the air, his attentive posture bore a testament to a desire to mend what had been broken.

Meanwhile, other friendships were finding their rhythm. Tracy and her bestie, Kuture, found solace in each other's company. Tracy, wanting a way to process her thoughts and feelings, expressed a wish for a colouring book and a journal. She confided in Kuture about her conversations with Biggie, and the friendships she felt she had lost in the house – a raw and honest admission.

In another corner of the house, Jason Jae chatted with Gigi Jasmine and Sultana. When he asked how fast they fell asleep, Sultana admitted that it took a while, especially when she was alone. Gigi Jasmine, still processing her feelings, repeatedly referred to Victory as her "ex," a term that underscored her difficulty detaching. Jason Jae, showing empathy, said he understood how hard it was to move on in the house.

Other relationships were also being defined by their boundaries. Mensan playfully counted Ivatar's tattoos, teasing her about adding weight. The playful banter took a serious turn when he tried to get touchy. Ivatar, ever direct, pulled back and firmly reminded him, "We are just friends." Later, Ivatar asked Mensan how he felt about her getting to know Kaybobo, the person Mensan had been fighting with. He admitted he wasn't angry, but felt bad because she wanted to get to know the person he was at odds with. Ivatar explained her intentions were nothing "deep," and that she just wanted to get to know him.

Other housemates also navigated the nuances of their bonds. Dede told Zita that her short-lived connection with Danboskid was something everyone in the house had wanted, even though she hadn't. It was nice, and that was enough. Dede and Zita continued their conversation, discussing how emotions in the house are amplified and how a small gesture can feel bigger than it is in reality. Dede confessed she felt like she couldn't cry, a trait she said she got from her strict mother, and she feared she didn't feel anything at all.

This raw honesty was a recurring theme. The conversation between Jason Jae and Sultana revealed lingering tension from a past misstep. When Jason Jae said he was still unsure where he would sleep, Sultana offered her bed, only to be refused. "You messed up," Jason stated simply. Sultana, having already apologised, was frustrated. "What must I do to prove that I am sorry?" she asked, her question hanging in the air.

In the end, even the simplest of friendships were celebrated. Dede and her bestie, Koyin, sat together, talking about their victories. Dede proudly stated she had won four tasks, a small moment of joy that grounded them both. From Denari and Gigi Jasmine's emotional reconciliation to Tracy and Kuture’s quiet comfort, the housemates proved that even in a chaotic environment, friendship remains a constant.
