Just like the theme of the week, "The Switch," Biggie switched things up in the house today, creating new alliances and better bonding with the Twinning Tuesday task.
08:00 am: Kickstarting their day
Post-workout, the housemates kick off their morning prepping breakfast and preparing for the day ahead. Ricky has a chat with Keivo. Ricky believes he will never win MIPOW because he is not one to do things he is not supposed to do; Keivo, on the other hand, is open to it strictly to get a piece of the money. The duo also discussed Sultex and Goddessa’s eviction, with Ricky saying he expected Goddessa and Araga to leave instead. For Keivo, Sultex leaving made him ready to leave because of their bond.
09:00 am: Wager prep begins
In the kitchen, Sheba and Abi discuss cooking and how they plan to divide food. Later on, Sheba practices her wager brief and speaks to Oyin about the speech not landing. The duo then dissect the wager brief and their ideas, with Sheba noting that she believes they need to freshen up their idea.
10:00 am: It’s Twinning Tuesday
Following Biggie’s instructions, Abi gathers the housemates in the lounge to read a task brief. For the rest of the day, Big Brother has tasked the housemates to dress in coordination with their partner from the previous day's switch pairing. While they don't have to dress identically, housemates must find the similarities between themselves and their partner, then coordinate their outfits through matching colours, patterns, accessories or hairstyles. The goal is to make it clear, at a glance, who each switch pair is.
Oyin, Sheba, Gerard and Nomy continued with wager preparations while Chimsom Chuka, Ricky, Aikou and Barry discussed Abi, her HoH reign and defensive attitude.
11:00 am: More wager preparations and picking twin outfits
In the lounge, Nomy discusses their fashion looks and styling for the wager with Oyin and Flora. Flora and Chimsom Chuka chat about who gets to do modelling and styling. While other housemates began coordinating their outfits with their twins.
12:00 pm: Paired diary sessions begin
Araga and Bells sat down for their paired diary session, covering evictions, past drama, and game strategy. Araga admitted Goddessa's eviction stung, but said shaving his head on Sunday left him feeling refreshed and ready for a new start. He revisited his history with Sultex — the two had clashed before but said he respected him as a talented "superstar." On Goddessa, he opened up about liking her, only to realise she'd been "playing a game with every guy in the house." Turning to his pairing with Bells, he praised her Friday night Arena games win, saying she could dominate all the girls in the house if she took the games more seriously.
Bells reflected on Sultex and Goddessa's evictions, saying she didn't see either coming since she felt close to both — even though she and Sultex hadn't patched things up after a fight the day before. She said the house has started to feel more welcoming thanks to Araga, Oyin, Flora, Abi, and Yusuf. She also gave Sheba her flowers for being hardworking as HoH, while noting she's quietly been putting in similar effort behind the scenes all along. She closed out promising to dial back her chatter, in the spirit of their pairing.
1:00 pm: Flora and Keivo's diary session
Flora opened up about a rough patch: an argument with Temi Nkem on Sunday, plus the sting of Sultex's eviction. She was particularly hurt that Temi Nkem mocked Sultex's exit, joking she was now "the main dancer in the house" since "their parrot" had left — a jab Flora didn't understand given how close she and Sultex were. Keivo said he stayed neutral, being close to both sides, but admitted Temi Nkem had gone quiet on him since the eviction.
Both called Sunday's double eviction the saddest moment of the season so far. Flora was especially frustrated by the house's reaction: Goddessa and Temi Nkem laughing when Sultex was evicted, then Temi Nkem crying when Goddessa's own name was called. “They lack emotions, and it's not fair,” she said. Keivo pushed back gently, saying it's less about lacking emotion and more about people, himself included, learning not to show it.
The conversation turned to house dynamics. Flora vented about consistently landing in the wrong group for tasks despite her teammates' strengths. She also chatted about Sheba's MIPOW win, arguing the house only voted for her because she'd suddenly started doing visible chores. She claimed Sheba is strategic enough to "drop her friend to win," pointing to Goddessa's face dropping when Sheba's win was announced.
Flora and Keivo also traded compliments, with Flora calling him neat and hardworking, and revealed he'd written her a song.
2:00 pm: Ricky and Oyin's diary session
Before the session, Araga received the bench warmer vest he'd asked Big Brother for, so he could properly match with Bells. He headed to the orange bedroom to show her, and the two shared a heartwarming moment.
Oyin and Ricky then sat down for their paired diary session. Oyin admitted the wager and her assigned punishment kept her up all night, and said she felt set up as Chimsom Chuka simply handed her the brief and told her it was all on her, while usually vocal housemates like Sheba, Yusuf, and Chimsom Chuka went suspiciously quiet when she shared her ideas. She didn't hold back: "It's either they kill the wager, or hunger will kill them." Sheba later apologised and stepped in to help.
Ricky agreed it looked like a setup, saying some housemates assumed Oyin and Flora would fail simply because they complain a lot — and admitted he suspects the same treatment could be coming for him.
The pair also chatted about Sunday's evictions. Oyin called Sultex her favourite person in the house and said his exit hit her hard, while Goddessa laughing when Sultex was evicted only soured things further. She didn't hide her satisfaction watching Goddessa get evicted next.
Ricky opened up about his own frustrations: expecting more fun and games going in, only to find everyone being calculative and image-conscious. However, he said he's found his footing now and is no longer bothered by others' opinions. On Sheba's MIPOW win, both were skeptical, with Oyin suggesting it was a "plan and a performance," pointing to Sheba's sudden visibility doing chores in the run-up to the MIPOW voting.
The two also touched on their own dynamic, agreeing they've grown closer since being paired. Ricky admitted he finds Oyin "quite attractive" and called her the best partner he could've been given.
3:00 pm: Temi Nkem and Tram's diary session
Both said Sunday's evictions caught them off guard. Tram didn't expect Sultex to go, and while he wouldn't call himself happy about Goddessa's exit, he admitted things had felt off between them lately as he wanted to talk it out and end the "beef" she'd inherited from Sheba. Temi Nkem, however, was devastated by the eviction as she and Goddessa were close.
Tram named Oyin, Flora, Ricky, and Nomy as his people in the house: a shift Temi questioned, pointing out he used to talk badly about them. Things got tense when Big Brother raised the "local girls" comment, with Tram admitting it made an already divided house worse.
The pair also addressed their kiss. Tram was blunt: he has a partner outside the house and never intended anything serious — he called what happened with Temi Nkem a mistake. On Sheba's MIPOW win, the two clashed. Temi called it well-deserved. Tram wasn't convinced, accusing Sheba of performing for votes: doing chores and dishes for likes, feeding select people like Aikou to stay favoured, and framing her decision to save people as "paying a debt" rather than genuine loyalty.
