Big Brother Naija Season 10 proved once again why it’s the most unpredictable show on African television.
The call that changed everything
The red phone, a new twist introduced this season, has quickly become a symbol of suspense and danger. When it rang today, it was Rooboy who picked it up and in a heartbeat, he was seemingly evicted from the house. Cue the tears, gasps, and stunned silence from his fellow housemates.
Ebuka, ever the master of suspense, confirmed the news during the live session, sending the house into emotional chaos. Rooboy, one of the more energetic and polarising personalities in the house, had been cut down by a phone call. Or so it seemed.
The secret room twist
What the housemates didn’t know was that Rooboy’s eviction wasn’t real. Instead of heading home, he was whisked into a secret room — the same hidden corner where Dede and Joanna had been lying low after their own twists.
This move instantly flipped the game on its head. Three “evicted” housemates now sit behind closed doors, likely watching the house unravel, strategising, and preparing for a possible re-entry that could shatter existing alliances.
Emotional fallout
Inside the main house, the shockwaves were immediate. Imisi, Kaybobo and Kola stayed rooted to their seats, mouths agape, as they struggled to come to terms with the scene that had just unfolded. Mide punctuated the air with a well-place "Heeeh!" while Kuture unleashed the waterworks in the closet. Head of House Thelma Lawson sat quietly on her chair, seemingly deep in thought.
Later, Biggie's cameras cut to Rooboy reuniting with Joanna and Dede, who were pleasantly surprised to see him entering the secret room. Hearty laughs were exchanged as Rooboy caught the girls up on what had just happened, while they did the same concerning their luxurious stay in the secret room.
The house dynamic is already fragile with 19 contestants fighting for a ₦150 million grand prize, and this fake eviction has turned the pressure dial to maximum. Big Brother Naija thrives on chaos, and this twist was a masterstroke. By pulling Rooboy out under the guise of eviction and hiding him in plain sight, the show has set up the perfect recipe for drama. Viewers are bracing for the moment he and the others re-emerge, ready to flip the house upside down.
For now, the housemates remain clueless. But for the fans, one thing is clear: the red phone isn’t just a gimmick; it’s the ultimate game-changer.
All housemates are up for possible eviction this week with the exception of Head of House Thelma Lawson, Most Influential Player Of The Week Kaybobo, and Dede, Joanna and Rooboy, who have immunity.
