The housemates will face a four-game course. The points will be added to determine their final score. The housemate with the highest score will be crowned the HoH. Ultimate Veto Power Holder Barry will sit out this week's games. Temi Nkem is the first one to complete the games; the rest of the housemates went out of the Arena while she is busy.

4:00 pm – HoH games continue

The HoH Games continued with Aikou stepping up as the second housemate to play. Game 4 proved tricky as he struggled to keep his blocks standing, forcing him to rebuild more than once after they came tumbling down. Bluethopia played next, followed by Ricky.

5:00 pm – More housemates take their turn

The HoH Games remained in full swing as Oyin, Keivo, Sheba and Tram took their turns.

6:00 pm – Keivo wins HoH

Flora was the final housemate to play before the results were announced.

After finishing as runner up last week, Keivo went one better this time and claimed the HoH crown. He picked Aikou as his Loft mate, while Oyin became the Benchwarmer.

Back in the house, Keivo called everyone to the lounge and asked the housemates to support one another. He also addressed this morning’s issue with Oyin, saying some jokes may not land the same way with everyone, before apologising to her.

Barry congratulated Keivo, who jokingly said he did well by letting Barry win the previous week. Bluethopia and Temi Nkem also congratulated the new HoH with hugs.

Flora later hyped Oyin as “the sexiest Benchwarmer” while Oyin playfully hit the bench with a water bottle. The pair laughed before heading into the kitchen.

7:00 pm – Barry’s Ultimate Veto changes everything

It’s time for Live Nominations. HoH Keivo has immunity for the week but no power to influence nominations. That responsibility belongs to Ultimate Veto Power Holder Barry, who is handed an envelope and called into the diary room. Inside, Barry finds two options: Immunity For All or Immunity For None, which would strip every housemate, including the HoH, of immunity.

After asking Biggie for clarity, Barry chooses Immunity For All and confirms his decision. Biggie instructs him to keep it completely secret, warning that any hint to the other housemates would cost him his own immunity.

Biggie later announces that nominations are complete and tells the housemates their fate will be revealed on Sunday. The mood turns tense, with Temi Nkem saying the uncertainty is giving them anxiety. Tram admits he would rather know his fate immediately but says he will take things as they come.

Biggie then asks the housemates to watch the screen, where they receive heartfelt messages from their loved ones back home.

8:00 pm – Housemates still emotional after receiving messages from home

Oyin remains emotional after seeing her father in the video messages. Sitting with Flora, she says she is happy to see him and has never been away from him for this long.

Barry finds Bluethopia still emotional on the couch and encourages her. Keivo joins them, teasing her lightly before also offering some encouragement.

Biggie later sends treats into the house. HoH Keivo collects them from the Store Room, while Ricky and Tram help bring out the food supplies.

9:00 pm – MIPOW campaigns in full swing 

Bluethopia, Barry, Keivo and Aikou sit around the lounge table chatting while Barry eats. Tram later joins them.

Bluethopia declares that she wants to win MIPOW this week. When Oyin calls from the kitchen for people to wash their plates, Bluethopia volunteers, saying that she needs the points for MIPOW.

Keivo later gathers the housemates for a brief wager discussion. He describes the week as relatively straightforward and notes that Bluethopia, Tram and Temi Nkem have expressed interest in leading the presentation.

He suggests they work with housemates who are strong writers, while Barry proposes asking Biggie for access to their entry videos to incorporate into the presentation.

Temi Nkem then announces that everyone should leave the chores to her this week because she also wants MIPOW.

The housemates discuss how the award has played out so far, with Sheba pointing out that some people may have deserved it more than once but were ineligible to win in consecutive weeks.

Later, Sheba speculates with Bluethopia and Flora about what may have happened when Barry entered the diary room, wondering whether he removed anyone from the nomination list. She also brings up the Gambit twist.

Tram interrupts to ask what Sheba plans to do for the wager. She says she is preparing a monologue and jokes that she is channeling her inner Chuka.

10:00 pm – Housemates try to decode the nominations

Tram chats with Ricky in the closet area about MIPOW and reflects on how he ran things during his HoH reign. He counts the housemates who have already won MIPOW and those who are still eligible, noting that he believes he has support from three of the six.

In the kitchen, Flora and Oyin continue discussing the game while Oyin cooks.

Tram admits that although he likes Barry, he does not fully trust him. Oyin says she feels the same way about Keivo.

The housemates speculate that only six people may be up for eviction, factoring in Barry, Keivo and the Gambit situation.

Tram reassures them that they are strong and should not worry too much, saying they only have a few more days before finding out their fate. Flora says the waiting is the hardest part.

They agree that the potential finalist lineup is strong.

Tram then asks Flora if she is the Gambit. Flora stays silent.

11:00 pm – Keivo jokes about sending housemates home

Bluethopia, Keivo and Sheba are chatting in the bedroom when Temi Nkem joins them. Bluethopia shows the group a picture of her younger self before the conversation shifts to what Keivo would do if he had the power to send housemates home.

Keivo plays along, teasing the women and calling them out one by one.

Later in the garden, Flora, Oyin and Tram catch up as Tram revisits what caused his fallout with Nomy.

Following the decision of Ultimate Veto Power Holder Barry, all Housemates have immunity, meaning there will be no public vote this week.
