During a late-night hair session between Thelma Lawson and Dede, the two housemates slipped into a heart-to-heart conversation about companionship and connection in the game.
Dede, while getting her hair done, asked Thelma Lawson if she ever missed having “her person” in the house. At first, Thelma Lawson misunderstood the question and assumed Dede was talking about a romantic partner. But when Dede clarified that she meant inside the house, and Thelma Lawson wasted no time in admitting that she doesn’t have anyone she considers her person anymore.
She revealed that her closest companions, Sabrina and Otega, were evicted in the early weeks, leaving her to navigate the game on her own. Thelma Lawson confessed that this sometimes leaves her feeling isolated and even bored. “Honestly, if I wasn’t doing your hair right now, I’d probably be sitting around with nothing to do,” she told Dede. Dede nodded in agreement, admitting that she too experiences stretches of boredom and moments where the loneliness inside the house becomes overwhelming.
Meanwhile, another revealing conversation was brewing. Faith confided in Joanna about his concerns over Kola’s friendships. He explained that Kola’s choice of allies paints a telling picture of his character.
Faith suggested that Kola is playing a calculated game, willing to excuse or tolerate questionable behaviour as long as it benefits him. According to Faith, Imisi is one of the clearest examples of this strategy.
He claimed that Kola appreciates her mainly for her resourcefulness, not necessarily for who she is as a person. “Outside this house, he wouldn’t be this close to her,” Faith insisted, implying that Kola is leveraging their connection for survival.
Joanna chimed in with her own perspective, pointing out that Imisi had been just as involved as Isabella in the infamous “Dracula” moment — a move that drew mixed reactions from housemates. For Joanna, it was proof that Imisi gravitates toward people who reflect her energy and match her game style.
For housemates like Thelma Lawson, the absence of strong bonds has created a quiet struggle. For others, like Faith, observing those bonds has sparked doubts about motives, loyalty, and long-term strategy.
All housemates are up for possible eviction this week, with the exception of Head of House Zita, Most Influential Player Of The Week Faith, Imisi, who has Red Envelope Immunity, and Rooboy, who was saved by the HoH via tree of trinkets.
