The house was quieter, and many housemates felt a profound loss. Kuture, in particular, was not okay. He said the house felt "empty" without Rooboy and admitted that he cried because he didn't even get a chance to say a proper goodbye. Tracy, although she found Rooboy annoying at times, was also sad to see him go, and so were Bright Morgan and Kola. This raw emotion was a wake-up call, proving that in this game, every moment counts.

When asked who they would bring back from the evicted housemates, a clear favourite emerged. Kuture, Tracy, Bright Morgan, and Koyin all chose Rooboy. Their reasons were simple: he brought the "vibe" and "energy" that the house desperately needed. They felt he had more to show and that his exit was an unfair twist. Imisi, however, had a different choice. She would bring back Big Soso, calling her "interesting" and loving her energy. Kola had a surprise pick of his own, saying he would bring back Sabrina if he had the power.

Isabella, who said she was feeling fine, also shared her thoughts. She found a new connection with Koyin that started last week, and she likes the comfort and cuddles their friendship brings. She also connected with Ivatar (and Doris) because they are all single moms, and she felt sad when her friends left. Isabella was surprised by both Big Soso and Doris leaving. If she had the power, she would bring back Ivatar because she felt she played her own game, and Rooboy, because the house is now quiet without him. She added that she doesn't think about the new Head of House, Thelma, because they don't talk.

With Thelma Lawson as the new Head of House, the housemates were eager to give their two cents on her leadership. Imisi, who didn't want Faith to be the HOH, was happy with Thelma Lawson's reign so far, saying she was more coordinated and better at dealing with people. Bright Morgan, who was the first male housemate to talk to her, was also happy for her win, and Kuture, who told her to win, said she fit the theme perfectly by being of service to others. It seems Thelma Lawson's quiet and caring approach was a welcome change for the house.

Despite the drama and the game, the housemates were still a family in their own way. Mensan and Kuture were seen escorting Imisi to the Diary Room, telling Biggie she looked like a "rich aunty." Koyin was shocked to find that he and Isabella were getting closer, and Kola, who was grateful to still be in the house, was so happy to get a shawarma and dance to some music that he asked for.

It has been a day of sadness and confusion, but also a reminder that even in the midst of a heated competition, the housemates' humanity will still shine through.
