You know that saying, ‘weekend wey go sweet, na from Thursday you go know’? Well, it’s a new week in Biggie’s abode, and all 29 housemates are not pumping the brakes. Week 2 started with Thelma Lawson winning the Head of House games, becoming the interim Head of House (till the HoH Challenger, when she will have to defend her win for the week). She selected Kayikunmi as her interim assistant.
Her first flex of power came in food management, setting the cooking schedule and trying to cater to the different palates in the house. At the morning meeting, with last week’s lost Wager Task Presentation in mind, Thelma Lawson urged housemates to avoid cooking alone and invited them to share any kitchen concerns.
The conversations soon took an expected turn (given the current tension in the house), with the rebels airing their opinions.
Imisi announced that she wouldn’t be cooking with a group of people that she had yet to dine with. This, of course, led to a head-on collision with Thelma Lawson, who, frustrated with Imisi's indecisiveness, told her to go upstairs if she wasn't interested in the conversation. The gloves came off as Imisi shot back with a "You're stupid," and Thelma Lawson retorted with a jab about her "playing victim."
But Imisi wasn't the only one stirring the pot. The "rebels" of the group, as they've been dubbed, are Isabella and Imisi. Isabella insisted on cooking her own small portions, arguing that because the other housemates "flexed with food last week," she should be allowed to do the same. She defiantly stated she would enter the kitchen whenever she wanted, warning that while they might shout, no one would "touch her."
Kaybobo was quick to challenge Isabella, reminding her to respect the house and the Head of House, who was given power by Biggie. Still, Isabella stood her ground, maintaining that she cooks small portions and doesn't waste food.
With this menu of drama between these three, we can’t help but wonder if it has anything to do with Thelma Lawson choosing Kayikunmi to share the HoH room with her. What do you think?
Amidst all of these, Otega decided to protect his own interests, declaring that the goat meat was his and his alone, fearing the "crazy" housemates would consume it all.
In the end, with the dissenters making their voices heard, the housemates organised a new committee to manage the kitchen, which includes Sultana, Kaybobo, Victory, Otega, Doris, and Kuture. In the thick of the chaos, some housemates tried to find common ground. Sultana and Jason Jae both expressed their willingness to be a part of the general cooking, even if they had specific food preferences, and Joanna offered to help cook even on days she didn't want to eat.
We are surely eating well this week, but for the housemates, the wager loss might just mean more food fights ahead.
