The day is off to a slow start after the housemates lost the Wager of last night. Shortly after their workout session, Chimsom Chuka and Bluethopia connect, while Tram fills Oyin in about his chat with Nomy earlier today.
Here’s a downlow on how the day went:
8:00 am – Painting and chats about housemates being fake
Sheba and Goddessa catch up and talk about the show being a game of strategy and entertainment. According to them, some people can't entertain, they take past housemates’ scripts, and they talk about Ebuka saying that fakeness can be seen from a far. Their discussion goes to people finishing the food and not thinking about others and how people spent the day in the kitchen.
Goddessa and Sheba also talked about how Tram and Ricky should have given a reason for not the participating in the Wager, and how Tram was the one saying he has ideas and ending up not doing it.
Some of the housemates start cleaning the house.
Abi, Bluethopia, Oyin and Tram start painting themselves.
Chimsom Chuka said to Bluethopia that she is giving him mix signals. He said that Bluethopia is stubborn but getting better. Bluethopia started talking about everyone she misses outside of the house.
9:00 am – Oyin checks Keivo playfully
Oyin talked to Keivo about him not giving her food. She said the moment Keivo got in the kitchen, he made for Nomy. He apologised to Oyin.
Keivo spoke about getting revenge for the person who stole his shoe. Aikou joined the conversation and corrected Keivo for using the word “pettiness” rather than using the word “malice”.
More housemates started painting their bodies.
10:00 am – Tram spills on his conversation with Nomy
The housemates move to the Garden.
Oyin unbraids Keivo’s hair. She talked to him about how people in the house are fake. She mentioned about a time when they were chilling and talking about guys they liked in the house.
Tram joined Oyin and Keivo. Oyin asked Tram what him and Nomy were talking about and why didn't he tell her about it.
He explained they spoke about everything and they are cool now. He mentioned how they have the same personality and he told Nomy that they are wasting their energy hating each other.
According to Tram, he is not beefing with anyone and a few days back he was talking with Barry and Bluethopia, and Sheba heard her name and started shouting that people shouldn't say her name. He says he didn't come here with a strategy but as his real self.
11:00 am – Fake friends?
Tram talked about people having fake friends. Keivo said he’s friends with everyone and not friends with anyone. Oyin agreed and said they know Keivo is surface level.
Goddessa and Yusuf reminisce about their time on stage, the process of applying and telling their people. They talk about acting and a director who has love for new people.
12:00 pm – Barry enters Goddessa and Sheba’s chat
Flora tells Aikou about makeup artist not liking to do their makeup.
Sheba and Goddessa are eating together. They talked about people coming to Biggie’s house to sleep and everyone being up for eviction.
Goddessa and Sheba talk about Barry. Goddessa said that is Biggie would give her an assignment to dance with only Barry for 24 hours; she would accept the challenge.
Ricky cooked burgers.
Sheba told Goddessa that she will have a conversation with Tram and not apologise. She said she can see that Tram is not okay and he’s just grateful people are cooking for him, she feels like his not mature for dragging her name.
1:00 pm – Teamwork is not dream work
Aikou, Ricky and Yusuf hang out. Yusuf said that being in this house made him realise that he hasn't done anything in life. He told them Bells is so interesting and that she knows so much.
Yusuf and Aikou’s talk changes to how the wild is and how the animals work and how they have weird relationships.
Yusuf then talked about having urgency and that he has learned in life to be fast with doing things. He talked about his writing and how he sold a book.
Abi, Goddessa and Sheba are together. Their conversation is about how people don't take their tasks seriously and that Biggie needs to remind people to show up.
Sheba said they should work as a team even if they fail, they can laugh and talk about where they messed up but people take things personally.
2:00 pm – A brief for an ad-hoc task arrives
Abi, Goddessa and Sheba were having fun. Abi did some modelling for the ladies.
Chimsom Chuka called the housemates to the Main Lounge to read the brief of an ad-hoc task.
He complained to Gerard about Bells eating the pizza that he gave her to keep in the Head of House (HoH) Loft.
Goddessa and Sheba laughed at Temi Nkem and Araga's faces – how it was painted. Temi Nkem insisted that they are just jealous.
Gerard reads the brief and it says they will play The Alphabet Challenge.
Chimsom Chuka explained the game to the housemates, and they start playing the game.
3:00 pm – The game gets the housemates fired up
The Alphabet Challenge tests the housemates’ memory, speed and general knowledge. They can decide which categories they want to use: for example, names of girls.
HoH Chimsom Chuka is the Game Master.
For the first round, they must name countries that start with the letter A. Sheba, Gerard, Barry are the remaining housemates in this round.
With Sheba announced as the winner of the first round, the housemates start a new round.
There's commotion, as Araga, Temi Nkem and Tram contest a submission. Gerard steps in to clarify they were supposed to be naming cities that start with the letter A.
There's commotion again, as the housemates contest another submission. They're on their feet this time, with Temi Nkem shouting the loudest.
4:00 pm – Bells questions Yusuf as kitchen tension brews
The Alphabet Challenge wrapped up, but Bells was still concerned about Yusuf’s behaviour from the previous night. Yusuf said he could not remember much because he was sleepy, only recalling that he pushed her hand away and turned to face the other direction. Bells appeared upset and was not ready to continue the conversation. Yusuf said he respected how she felt.
In the kitchen, Abi and Sultex had a brief back and forth, with Sultex saying he would be the bigger person for the day.
5:00 pm – Arena games begin as Biggie returns
The housemates headed into the arena for the games and were visibly excited to hear Biggie’s voice again after his warning the previous night about their disregard for instructions. They shouted that they had missed him before Biggie read out the arena games brief.
The housemates will compete across four games, aiming to earn as many points as possible in the quickest time. One by one, they were called forward to take on the challenge.
6:00 pm – Goddessa sits out as Aikou steps in
When it was Goddessa’s turn to compete, she asked Biggie for permission to sit out the game. Biggie then called Aikou into the arena to take his turn.
7:00 pm – The battle for the arena win continues
The arena games continued as the remaining housemates took on the challenges, each pushing for the fastest time and the overall win.
8:00 pm – Bells wins the arena games
The Arena Games wrapped up with Gerard as the final housemate to compete. Biggie announced Keivo as runner-up with 170 points, narrowly edging out Sheba on time. Bells emerged the winner with 195 points. Bells jumped up in celebration as Yusuf cheered her on. A Ninja then presented Bells and Keivo with a bag of BB Bucks.
9:00 pm – Tram and Yusuf clash as bread sparks another kitchen argument
Back in the house, tension flared between Tram and Yusuf over an exchange that happened during the arena games.
Tram accused Yusuf of calling him a "small boy," while Yusuf denied it and said Tram had challenged him to fight outside. Araga tried to calm things down, but the argument escalated as Tram confronted both Yusuf and Araga before they eventually walked away.
Later, another disagreement broke out in the kitchen when Sultex accused Chimsom Chuka of taking bread. Chimsom Chuka denied it, and the argument quickly shifted from bread to meat.
Oyin and Flora listened in before Flora stepped in to say she had seen people take meat in the house. Meanwhile, Nomy stayed out of the drama and focused on making her noodles.
10:00 pm – Bells opens up to Abi
Abi and Bells took a walk in the garden, where Abi asked what motivated Bells to enter the Big Brother Naija house. Bells said someone once made it seem like getting into the house was beyond her reach, which pushed her to prove otherwise. Their conversation later drifted to gadgets and jewellery preferences.
Sheba and Goddessa settled in the lounge before Temi Nkem joined them. The conversation turned to comments about Bells having more wins in the house, with Goddessa admitting that hearing people say that gives her the ick.
Sheba noted that things are likely to feel different after Sunday’s eviction, whether a housemate stays or leaves.
The trio also discussed voluntary exits, with Goddessa saying the decision carries more weight when a housemate keeps their plans to themselves rather than announcing them beforehand.
All housemates are up for possible eviction this week, except Head of House Chimsom Chuka, The Gambit Aikou and Flora, Abi voted Most Influential Player of the Week and Sheba saved by the house and HoH Veto Power.
