It would seem that housemates need a new rulebook because the old one is getting completely rewritten. We saw this unfold with Big Soso, who complained about Koyin’s noisiness at night, only to roughly wake her up in the morning to change the bedsheet.
When asked about his behaviour, he tried to blame it on familiarity. This is the same Koyin that Big Soso has made the bed with before, and the same Koyin that was once at odds with Dede. All the while, Isabella serenaded the house with her loud singing, adding a hilariously chaotic soundtrack to the scene.
Friendships in the house are a special kind of complicated. Koyin proved his dedication by moisturising Dede’s swollen foot with his injured hand, a sweet gesture that was quickly followed by a classic friend-tussle. Dede playfully accused him of “ditching” her for breakfast, reminding him that she’s “fully dependent” on him for her morning meals.
Amidst the chaos, some housemates found time for genuine, heartfelt conversations. Joanna shared a deeply personal story with Faith, revealing the unbreakable bond she shares with her mother. She spoke of her mother’s hospitalisation and the fear of losing the one person she can truly count on. This emotional truth left Faith impressed by Joanna’s maturity, echoing a sentiment he shared with Zita just the day before.
Meanwhile, the game never stops. In a fascinating turn of events, Rooboy won the Head of House Challenge, picking Zita as his guest. This move was a perfect example of loyalty coming full circle, as she had chosen him as her guest last week. It was a case of the tenant becoming the landlord and the old landlady becoming the tenant. This decision sparked a conversation between Mensan and Big Soso about who Rooboy should have chosen, with Big Soso arguing that loyalty should be repaid.
The drama continued with Kola, who couldn’t find a key during the Supa Kommando task but found time to scold Imisi about her broken-zipper pants. Later, he approached her with a different issue, claiming a housemate “hates” him. Imisi, showing her awareness of the game, called him out on his paranoia, and Kola’s attempts to gaslight her into “protecting” him were a spectacle to watch.
The conversation eventually shifted to Jason Jae, with Kola admitting he knows Jason Jae doesn’t like him. He even asked Imisi for advice on how to handle the situation, showing how friendships can be used to navigate a hostile environment.
This is a game of strategy, and every interaction, from a shared meal to a heated argument, is just another play.
