The exits of Goddessa and Sultex during Live Show 5 are felt by the Show Ya Sef housemates. Meanwhile, it seems that Bells is on a mission. Here is how Day 36 went down:
8:00 am – Missing sugar?
Shortly after the morning workout, Bells is on a search for food in the kitchen. She takes it in a black bag and went to one of the bedrooms to hide it. She mentioned something to Nomy about throwing the Wager and said that she will always get consequences when she does something.
Flora told Bells that her mouth is in pain as she walked in the Orange Bedroom.
Keivo and Gerard were in the kitchen searching for food. Keivo noticed that the sugar is gone. He said there was sugar yesterday and now it's finished.
Flora and Oyin talked about being happy that Sultex was one of the winners of the previous ad-hoc tasks. They were so sad that he left.

Some of the housemates were sleeping. Aikou and Chimsom Chuka played pool. Sheba and Barry were in the kitchen cleaning. Oyin was busy doing her makeup. Nomy sitting by herself, talking to herself.
10:00 am – Araga and Sheba’s friendship is blossoming
Araga and Sheba have a conversation about the Live Show eviction. Araga talked about how Ebuka was asking silly questions about him and Goddessa being intimate. Sheba said something was in the air last night. Sheba added that she told Biggie about Tram and Biggie advised her to see his side.
Sheba talked about leaving first not being important, it's about if you can get money outside and that you can be in the show until the last day and still not get brand deals.
They also talked about Temi Nkem being entertaining and how they would love to watch her outside and how different and funny she is.
They hope that this week is fun and are grateful that they can sit on chairs and not paint their bodies.
Sheba mentioned that Goddessa was an important part of her journey in the house.
Sheba also said says what if the Gambit does not know they are the Gambit?
The housemates move to the Garden area.
11:00 am – Chimsom Chuka, Tram and Yusuf gist
Yusuf asked Tram how he felt when Goddessa left the house. Tram said he has never had a problem with Goddessa; she just supported Sheba and he felt like she had already picked a side. Tram said he had asked Goddessa to talk so they can clear things out and she refused to. He felt bad she left but he didn't want to stand up and say bye to her.
The conversation went to Sheba. Tram said Sheba uses people as pawns for her own game. Chimsom Chuka talked about saving Sheba to pay a debt.
12:00 pm – A brief for an ad-hoc task arrives
Chimsom Chuka called the housemates to the Main Lounge.
According to the brief, the women have to choose a Man Crush Monday – they picked from the lucky dip box. Their task is to embody the person they choose.
Bluethopia got Barry, Nomy got Aikou, Bells got Araga, Flora got Keivo, Oyin got Ricky, Temi Nkem got Tram, Sheba got Chimsom Chuka, Abi got Yusuf, and Gerard picked Bluethopia. There are more men than women, so Bluethopia got two men.
The women start dressing up like the men they have chosen. Some of them act like them too.
Flora said she won’t feed Keivo because she cooked the beans before this task and said he must stay away from her. Aikou gave Nomy his jacket.
1:00 pm – Bells and Yusuf have a lover’s quarrel
Aikou was teaching Nomy how to play pool.
Temi Nkem impersonated Tram and said "I like the way you eat your Coco Pops.” He is all smiles.
Abi talked about how someone hid sugar and pepper.
Bells went to spend time with Yusuf. She said that Yusuf will always leave her and go chat to someone and forget about her, and that he does the same when it comes to him dancing with people. Bells added that he always puts her second.
Yusuf reminded her that yesterday she called him a liar and Bells said she takes it back and apologized for it. Bells told Yusuf he doesn't have loyalty and said he disrespected her.
2:00 pm – Yusuf and Abi get to know each other
Bells said to Yusuf that he is the one she likes and he’s her type. According to Yusuf, Bells told someone that she likes someone outside because they have money. Bells disagree with him and said people misheard her and she had not said that. She said she won't tell people her full story to catch people on a lie.

3:00 pm – It’s time for the HoH Challenge
The housemates move to the Arena for the Head of House (HoH) Challenge.
The first game is called “Fan a Fish”. The participants have to use the provided fan to move the fish from the platform to the tray. The 10 quickest housemates to successfully complete the challenge will advance to the next game.
The HoH of today will have no Veto power over tonight’s Nominations.
4:00 pm – The HoH challenge moves into the next round
The housemates remained in the Arena for the second game of the Head of House challenge.
For this round, they were presented with a board containing seven holes and seven balls. Each housemate had seven attempts to roll the balls into the holes, with the five housemates who landed the most balls advancing to the next stage.
At the end of the round, Biggie called Barry, Abi, Temi Nkem, Gerard and Araga and congratulated them on progressing.
For Game Three, the remaining housemates were given two small rods and ten dice. Their task was to use the rods to pick up and transport all ten dice from one table to another in just three trips.
The two housemates who successfully moved the most dice would advance to the final round.
5:00 pm – Abi wins HoH again!
Barry kicked off the third round, followed by Abi. Temi Nkem went next but was buzzed out of the game, while Gerard and Araga also took their turns.
Abi and Gerard advanced to the final stage of the HoH challenge.
Abi eventually emerged victorious, securing her second Head of House win of the season. She chose Temi Nkem as her Loft mate.
Attention then shifted to the Benchwarmer position. Biggie called Yusuf, Bells, Ricky, Aikou, Nomy and Sheba, with each housemate required to roll a die. The housemate with the lowest number would become the Benchwarmer.
Bells rolled 1, Yusuf and Sheba rolled 2, Nomy rolled 4, while Ricky and Aikou both rolled 6.
With the lowest number, Bells became the Benchwarmer once again.
6:00 pm – Chimsom Chuka spots a pattern as eviction night still lingers
Back in the house, Chimsom Chuka and Temi Nkem reflected on the previous night’s eviction.
Chimsom Chuka said Goddessa played a good game and admitted he had expected Sultex to go much further in the competition. He also recalled Araga once telling him that the best approach in the house is to always prepare for the worst.
Temi Nkem admitted she had to hold back tears when Goddessa was evicted. Chimsom Chuka reassured her that Goddessa would not have wanted her to cry, adding that the first eviction is usually the hardest to process.
Temi Nkem also said Sultex’s eviction shocked her and left her speechless.
Chimsom Chuka, meanwhile, said he was grateful to have made it past the halfway point of the season before pointing out what he believes is an interesting pattern. He recalled how Cassi shared out his BB Bucks, won the Friday night arena games and was then evicted that Sunday.
Looking ahead to nominations, Chimsom Chuka said he was convinced his name would come up and doubted anyone in the house would save him.
7:00 pm – Biggie cancels the saves and cuts ₦5 Million from the prize money
Live nominations began with the housemates entering the diary room one after another to name two people they wanted to save.
During the process, Biggie gave Aikou and Flora a major update. Their Gambit roles are officially over, meaning they are now fully participating housemates and eligible to compete for the prize money.
Once nominations were complete, Biggie announced another twist. Due to the housemates’ repeated conversations about conspiracy and nominations, all saves were declared null and void.
As a result, only HoH Abi and MIPOW Sheba are safe. Every other housemate is up for possible eviction.
Biggie also addressed the fluctuating prize money, citing last week’s wager loss and repeated rule violations. He announced that ₦5 million had been deducted from the prize money and transferred into the MIPOW prize pot.
8:00 pm – Abi and Temi Nkem settle into the Loft
Inside the HoH Loft, Abi and Temi Nkem were enjoying their new space. Abi joked about having their own shower and bathroom, adding that she planned to look sexy even though they would not be attending the Pool Party.
She then teased Temi Nkem not to fall for her, leaving both of them laughing as they settled into their Loft privileges.
In the garden, Tram told Gerard and Oyin that the house already felt different this week. He described the atmosphere as calmer and more peaceful, almost as though something that had been controlling the tension had lifted.
Gerard agreed and said he was not afraid of possible eviction, especially now that they had crossed the halfway point of the season.
9:00 pm: Accountability takes centre stage as wager talks begin
A new brief arrived in the house, and HoH Abi informed the housemates that everyone must contribute to the House Accountability Book.
Each person is required to write one rule they believe the house needs to remember, followed by one better choice they personally intend to make going forward. Their names must be written beside each entry, and once everyone is done, they will take turns reading their rule and commitment aloud to the house.
Abi kicked things off by making the first entry.
Wager discussions soon followed, with Oyin taking charge and explaining her ideas for the presentation.
Ricky questioned why the models in the act needed to dance, prompting Araga to clarify that they would be freestyling rather than dancing. Ricky maintained that he wanted to model without having to dance.
Oyin urged the housemates to listen to Araga’s direction for the catwalk and avoid creating unnecessary problems.
Tram stepped in, reminding everyone that a wager win benefits the entire house. He argued that if someone does not want to dance, they should not be forced to, and encouraged the group to find common ground.
Ricky then pushed for more creativity in the overall concept. When Oyin asked if he had an alternative idea, he said the entire show needed a clearer direction.
10:00 pm: Oyin serves her punishment
Upstairs, Oyin was busy making the housemates’ beds as part of the punishment Biggie gave her for damaging property in the house.
As she worked her way through the beds, she complained about the size of the task, asking, “Why is it that my punishment is too big?”
Meanwhile in the lounge, Chimsom Chuka and Bluethopia were trying to clear the air over a misunderstanding between them. Chimsom Chuka insisted that he had never made Bluethopia feel replaceable, while she responded with her own side of the issue.
With the conversation becoming difficult, Chimsom Chuka brought Sheba in to help mediate.
11:00 pm: Housemates read their accountability rules
The housemates gathered for the House Accountability Book readings, with Chimsom Chuka kicking things off. One after another, they read out the rules they believe the house should uphold and the personal choices they intend to make differently going forward.
After the exercise, the housemates shared the supplies they received. Despite losing their wager, the provisions were more generous than they appeared to expect.
Later in the garden, Chimsom Chuka continued discussing his misunderstanding with Bluethopia while sitting with Sheba on the swings.
He explained that Bluethopia had walked away while they were talking, and when he called her out for it, she focused more on the fact that he had confronted her than on the original issue.
Chimsom Chuka said there is a difference between being patient and protecting one’s self worth.
Sheba suggested that he ask Bluethopia directly about the kind of man she likes. Chimsom Chuka responded that Bluethopia already seems to have a particular idea of the kind of man she wants.
