From Jason Jae’s battle with betrayal, to Mensan breaking down in tears, and Big Soso serving unfiltered takes, the diary room was packed with revelations.

Jason Jae - loyalty tested, friendship strained

Jason Jae admitted it’s been a long, heavy week. He confessed that Ebuka’s Sunday table-shaking unsettled him, and he struggled with disappointment in two close relationships. He felt Sultana should have told him about the “Koyin matter,” though they later cleared it up. But Dede’s “fish incident” cut deeper, leaving him feeling betrayed by someone he considered a real friend, so much so that he avoided her for six days.

Although he won HoH, Jason Jae said he deliberately didn’t push in the challenger because he didn’t want to face his fears. He nominated Thelma Lawson and Faith for being strong players he isn’t cool with, but celebrated Rooboy, saying if he doesn’t sit on the throne, then the people he picks should.

He described the house with one word: chaotic. He admitted he fears failure and disappointing his supporters. He also asked Biggie whether he had overreacted to the Dede situation, but Big Brother brushed it off for later.

On lighter notes, he asked Biggie for more clothes and requested his music be played so housemates know he’s a recording artist. He also reflected on bonds  - with Sultana as a confidante, Joanna as a budding friend, and Dede as someone who, despite hurting him, he still values.

Thelma Lawson - beauty, brains and competitiveness

Thelma described her mood as “good but anxious,” admitting she’s always wary of what Biggie might throw their way. Like Jason, she also summed up the house as chaotic.

She praised her HoH’s energy but noted he can be too playful and speaks without thinking. She recalled stepping in to help when the deputy wasn’t available, though she later felt unappreciated. She laughed while explaining her nominations of Koyin and Jason Jae, saying they’re too fast and would block her HoH chances.

Confidently, Thelma Lawson declared herself the life of the party, a “15 over 10” who is both beauty and brains. With seven task wins already, she said her personality probably intimidates those she nominates.

Mensan - illness, hurt and tears

Mensan admitted he’s been struggling with a stomach bug but revealed the real weight on his heart came from Ivatar’s behaviour towards him. He explained that she had crossed boundaries, from jumping on him and trying to pull off his towel, to making uncomfortable advances. The experience left him unsettled, especially since he said he had never carried even his girlfriend up a staircase, but did so for Ivatar.

The incident pushed him into a spiral of sadness, and his diary session turned highly emotional as he broke down in tears. Shifting focus briefly, he mentioned plans for their wager, revealing he intends to approach it with a “horrific” edge.

  

Denari - calm after anger

Denari said the week began with anger but he’s feeling much better now. He observed that everyone seems poised to perform.

His nominations went to Kola (for lack of connection) and Kuture (who he feels gives off weird vibes and can’t keep secrets). On the twist of cancelled nominations, Denari said he felt relieved that the usual packing anxiety wouldn’t hang over them, but worried that it could instead lead to multiple evictions, maybe as many as five.

Dede - oddly calm, but still watchful

Dede described herself as “very good” which is unusual for her and summed up the house as chaotic. She admitted fears of worms and tight spaces. She nominated Big Soso and Sultana, saying she doesn’t know them well.

The nomination nullification left her indifferent since she wasn’t up. She praised Rooboy’s performance, asked Biggie again for a hair curler, and then raised a familiar complaint: the stealing in the house. With exasperation, she revealed her sardines disappeared in less than 10 seconds.

Big Soso - raw truths and friendship

Big Soso came into the diary room cheerful, saying life was good, though she admitted being “traumatised” the day before. She accused Thelma of double standards — wanting rules followed when she’s in charge, but quick to break them when it’s someone else.

Her nominations were Ivatar (not close to her) and Dede (whom she branded selfish, recalling how she dishes first for herself when cooking). She described Rooboy as her best friend in the house, saying she felt he needed love and care the moment he walked in.

In a quirky moment, she insisted that “worms have teeth” and begged Biggie to excuse her from creepy challenges. She admitted she’s never visited a zoo because she once harmed animals as a child and fears they might take revenge.

Faith - lessons, attraction and suspicion

Faith said he feels settled in the house and has learned that sometimes losing is also winning. He called the house unpredictable.

He nominated Denari (for not doing much) and Ivatar (whom he saw as weaker). On a softer note, he admitted attraction to Joanna, describing her as wise beyond her years and beautiful.

But he also cast suspicion on Sultana, calling her sneaky. He claimed she hid Doris’ missing necklace and even stashed honey in her closet, behaviour he isn’t comfortable with despite their friendship.

Today’s diary sessions revealed a house buzzing with contradictions - laughter and tears, loyalty and betrayal, strategy and survival. If there’s one thing the housemates all seem to agree on, it’s that Big Brother’s house this season can only be described in one word: chaotic.
