Kola opened up about feeling sidelined by Dede and Imisi and Isabella didn’t sugar-coat their advice. Isabella called Dede a game player, while Imisi told Kola to stop entertaining what wasn’t serving him. Tough love, but maybe just what he needed.
Kola is growing increasingly frustrated with Dede. Despite knowing she has someone outside the house, he admitted to noticing that she spends more time with other male housemates, something he finds unsettling. Determined to respect himself, Kola told Mide and later, Bright Morgan that he intends to step back from Dede emotionally. Mide didn’t offer much on her end but passed on that Dede had suggested a conversation might help clear the air. Still, the tension lingers.
Elsewhere, Isabella and Imisi offered their unfiltered takes. Isabella believes Dede is playing a game and Kola, feeling fed up, declared he was too old for the emotional rollercoaster and wouldn’t entertain her advances any longer. Isabella also relayed that Otega thinks Dede is pretending to be tough while hiding a softer side. Imisi advised him to give Dede space and focus on someone else.
In a quiet moment with Bright, Kola revealed that more than anything, he simply wants someone to connect with in the house. Bright Morgan asked him if he plans to stop speaking with Dede and he said he won’t cut her off but he also won’t extend himself any longer.
As feelings get murkier and alliances shift, the question remains: who’s here for connection, and who’s here to play the game?
