The day began on a slow note, with housemates struggling to shake off the slumber after their morning workout. As they drifted in and out of sleep, a few early risers like Sipha Lee and Sweet Guluva managed to rustle up some cereal in the kichen before succumbing to the snooze fest.

However, love was definitely in the air! The usual lovebirds, HoH Ezra and Jojo, Ash-ley Ogle and Sweet Guluva, gave us some adorable moments to swoon over. While chilling on the patio seats in the garden, Ezra apologized to Jojo for not bidding her a proper goodnight, sealing the moment with a warm hug.

Meanwhile, in the dressing room Ash-ley Ogle and Sweet Guluva were lost in conversation, debating which language their future babies would speak at home. The tender moment was made even sweeter as Sweet Guluva helped Ash-ley Ogle with her hair.

As the house finally came alive, the focus shifted to wager preparation. The Nyus'ivolume theme has clearly struck a chord with the housemates, and they're thoroughly enjoying every aspect of it. With shirts off and eyes locked on their arts and crafts projects, the design team was in full creative mode. The percussionists were also hard at work, drumming up a storm with their drums and shakers.

As the day progressed, the housemates set up the stage and began rehearsing. The energy in the house was electric, with a sense of unity and fun could be sensed in the air. It's clear that this wager is going to be something special!
