Ben and Tjay were the lucky pair that won the first immunity challenge last week. Another opportunity presented itself last night during the second custodian challenge. Despite their best efforts, they did not win. Instead, Streeze (Toby Forge and Mayor Frosh) won the challenge, providing them a much-needed break from being in the bottom four.
Watch Streeze become the new custodians:
The loss did not sit well with Tjay, who thought the challenge was "basic engineering." After they lost, Tjay asked Ben to explain how they failed, and between disappointment and guilt, Ben became upset. He did not appreciate how Tjay questioned him and complained to other housemates. Chizoba tried to calm Ben down, and other housemates also chipped in, with Shaun emphasising the importance of the custodian challenge and how disappointment might cause one to snap.
As housemates played games chaired by Nelly and Fairme David, Tjay sat alone in the bedroom, clearly pained. Meanwhile, Ben continued in the games, daring housemates in a game of "concentration concentration."
Tjay and Ben's friendship has never been questionable in the house; their bond was evident at the Thursday night pool party. Ben helped Tjay out of the pool as he struggled in the water. Ben also spoke with Tjay when Rhuthee was upset over Tjay's recommendation to use food sparingly.
Perhaps Ben is feeling blamed for losing the custodian challenge, as he was responsible for finishing the game. According to Tjay, he did not do it strategically enough, and that’s what cost them the win.

Hopefully, the two can talk it out soon and make amends, trying their best to win upcoming challenges and hopefully gain immunity once again.
