The final week of the season kicked off with the highly anticipated Head of House Challenge, structured as a series of games featuring props and elements from previous HoH tasks. The goal was speed and success, with the housemate finishing the complex circuit in the shortest time, securing the final reign.
Biggie called on Jason Jae, the housemate who won the first Head of House title for the season, to start the challenge. After every housemate had taken their turn, the results were in: Jason Jae had the shortest play time and claimed the final HoH title. This made for a truly poetic moment, as the housemate who opened the season as the first Head of House closed it out as the last.
For his house guest, Jason Jae made an interesting choice, picking Sultana. This stood out because he had consciously avoided picking her both during his first win and during his brief interim HoH period. In addition to the official house guest, Jason Jae was granted the privilege of having two extra house guests daily, though they were limited to staying in the HoH lounge only during the day.
The win wasn't the only news, as the store room opened to reveal the promised bounty for their wager victory. Items like chocolate and ice cream were the highlight, bringing loud cheers and excitement as the housemates celebrated the mountain of goodies.
On the flip side of the win, Imisi was named the house snail for recording the longest time on the task. She was joined by Isabella, who earned the punishment for not fully fulfilling her house snail duties last week. Isabella immediately voiced her confusion, complaining that she took just as long as Kaybobo did on one of the games.
The celebration of victory was quickly overshadowed by drama when Jason Jae stepped into his HoH duties and read the brief. He was first instructed to call out Kola for infringing a rule. Kola had previously picked up the red telephone and turned down an immunity offer on the condition that he never spoke of the conversation. Kola, however, slipped up and mentioned it in passing.
Biggie, seeing all things, caught the slip and awarded Kola a punishment: he was banned from speaking until further notice. His only way to communicate with fellow housemates was through a writing pad, with the exception being his arena visits or diary sessions.
The HoH brief continued with a new task for the entire house: housemates were paired up and assigned dolls. Their task was to attend to their assigned dolls and not let them out of their sight, echoing their previous duties as egg parents.
The housemates quickly resumed their parental roles. While challenged to a ping pong match by Faith, Sultana placed the baby on the ping pong table. As Sultana started beating Faith in the game, he turned the doll around so it wouldn't witness his defeat, playfully saying, "I don't want you to see me get beaten."
The final week of the season began with a triumphant win, a supply of treats, and a hilarious new challenge, proving that even as the housemates close the chapter, Biggie still has plenty of surprises in store.
