Bright and Mide Address Fallout With Dede
The day opened with a tense exchange between Bright Morgan and Mide, who revealed that she was no longer on good terms with Dede.
According to Mide, a seemingly harmless moment of asking Dede for help straightening her hair spiraled into a misunderstanding. Dede accused Mide of being defensive and not curious enough about improving herself, which Mide interpreted as condescending. The disagreement escalated quickly, leading to sharp words and Mide storming out.
Bright attempted to mediate, urging Mide to communicate openly, but she insisted the issue was not “serious” enough to dwell on. Still, Mide admitted she confided in Kola about the matter immediately after the clash. This friction now raises questions about whether the once-friendly dynamic between Dede and Mide can be salvaged.
Victory and Gigi Jasmine Confrontation Game Fallout
The emotional weight of the previous day’s confrontation game lingered into Sunday, with Victory and Gigi Jasmine taking center stage.
Victory admitted to being at fault, confessing that his actions had made Gigi question his sincerity. He denied intentionally playing multiple women in the house as a strategy but acknowledged that his “messy” behavior had hurt her deeply. Gigi, visibly shaken, expressed that the situation had left her embarrassed—not just in the house or on national TV, but in front of her young son who looks up to her.
The conversation highlighted the emotional toll of house dynamics, where blurred lines between genuine feelings and strategy can leave lasting scars.
Koyin and Dede Share Emotional Birthday Talk
Another softer but emotional moment came when Koyin revealed to Dede that his birthday falls on Tuesday August 19. Surprisingly, he admitted he has never celebrated his birthday, often feeling overwhelmed and emotional whenever people wish him well.
Dede, showing genuine curiosity, asked what he would want for his special day, while also sharing that her own birthday is October 17. Koyin’s heartfelt admission and Dede’s attentive response hinted at a growing bond between the two, even amid the chaos swirling around them.
Live Eviction Show: Otega and Kayikunmi Exit
The night’s tension reached its peak during the live eviction show. Otega and Kayikunmi became the second batch of housemates to be evicted after garnering the lowest votes for the week, closely followed by Ivatar.
Their exits dropped the house count to 24, following earlier exits by Danboskid and Ibifubara, while Sabrina had left voluntarily due to medical reasons.
The double eviction shocked many housemates, who are still adjusting to the fast-paced eliminations of the “Ten Over Ten” season.
Meanwhile, Jason Jae was crowned Most Influential Player of the Week. The title, determined by housemate votes, recognized his leadership and impact within the house—extending beyond popularity to influence and presence.
Ebuka’s Sunday Questions Shake the House
As expected, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu brought his signature style of direct, thought-provoking questions to the live eviction show. His sharp delivery not only unsettled the housemates but also peeled back hidden layers of tension, unspoken rivalries, and complicated dynamics that had been brewing quietly all week.
What started as a simple Q&A quickly snowballed into a night of exposed secrets, awkward confessions, and silent daggers exchanged across the room.
A) Tracy vs. Imisi: A Brewing Rivalry Reignites
Ebuka asked Tracy to name the housemate she found most difficult to get along with, and without hesitation, she pointed at Imisi. Her reasoning—that Imisi always made “unnecessary” comments—struck a nerve, sparking murmurs among housemates. Imisi, unfazed on the surface, brushed it off with a sly smirk, but the tension between the two women was undeniable.
B) Kola and Dede: The “Liked” vs. “Like” Dilemma
Ebuka did not let Kola off the hook when he pointed out his past-tense choice of words while speaking about Dede. “Kola, you said you liked Dede in past tense, but your actions suggest something else,” Ebuka noted, forcing the housemate into an emotional corner.
Kola admitted he had deliberately chosen the word “liked” because he did not want to appear foolish on national TV. With emotions running high in the house, he confessed that he indeed did like her, but his fear of looking vulnerable and being judged by millions of viewers influenced his wording. The revelation exposed Kola’s inner conflict—his genuine feelings for Dede versus his attempt to maintain a guarded public image.
C) Koyin’s Secret Kiss with Sultana and Jason’s Potential Reaction
Ebuka then turned his spotlight on Koyin, drilling into a revelation that instantly shook the house. “Koyin, would the tension between you and Jason get worse if he finds out you kissed Sultana before him?” Ebuka asked, raising the stakes.
The disclosure that Koyin shared a kiss with Sultana before Jason was completely unexpected, leaving the housemates visibly stunned. Gasps echoed across the stage as cameras panned to Jason’s unsettled expression.
In response, Koyin admitted there was indeed friction between him and Jason, but he insisted it was not because of Dede as many assumed. He stood firm, acknowledging that if the tension deepened over the Sultana kiss, he really did not care. His bold and almost dismissive reply set the stage for what could become one of the season’s fiercest rivalries.
D) Ivatar Clarifies Her Interest in Kaybobo
Next, Ebuka confronted Ivatar with a direct question: “Ivatar, is it safe to say you and Mensan are done? Because it seems like the person your heart is with is Kaybobo.”
Ivatar calmly clarified her earlier comments, explaining that her interest in Kaybobo had been misinterpreted. She said she was simply drawn to qualities he possessed—his discipline in fitness, his spirituality, and even his cooking skills.
E) Dede’s “Three Fishes” Revelation
Finally, Ebuka stirred the house once again by addressing a playful yet controversial comment from Dede. “Dede, why did you call Koyin, Jason, and Kola your fishes?” Ebuka pressed, forcing the truth into the open.
The cameras panned to each of the so-called “fishes” one after the other—Koyin, Jason, and Kola—heightening the drama as viewers watched their reactions in real time.
Dede explained that the nickname “fishes” was simply a playful code she used when discussing the trio with her close friend, Mide. According to her, it was never meant to stir trouble or imply possession, but rather a private term she coined to keep their conversations discreet.
Her explanation, however, did little to ease the curiosity in the house. With Koyin, Jason, and Kola all connected to her in different ways, suspicions grew about whether the “three fishes” had deeper implications than she was willing to admit.
AFTER THE EVICTION SHOW DRAMA
A) Imisi Pushes Kola to Retaliate Against Dede
Shortly after the eviction show, Imisi privately urged Kola to take a stand against Dede. She insisted that Dede was only playing him and manipulating his emotions inside the house. While Imisi pressed for him to act immediately, Kola appeared reluctant, choosing instead to postpone the conversation.
This exchange highlighted the growing tension surrounding Kola’s complicated connection with Dede and how other housemates are trying to influence his decisions.
B) Koyin and Dede Discuss Ebuka’s bombshell questions
Koyin and Dede shared a lighthearted moment as they defined themselves as “fish besties,” showing no animosity despite the tension stirred by Ebuka’s revelations. Dede admitted she expected Koyin to react angrily over the Sultana kiss incident, but instead, he brushed it off.
Their conversation took a deeper turn when Dede revealed she believed Sultana had a habit of pursuing people she was already linked with, a subtle accusation that suggested patterns of rivalry within the house. Despite this, Koyin reassured her that their bond stood firm, proving that the drama only strengthened their unusual alliance.
C) Kuture Stirs the Pot Over Sultana’s Kiss
Kuture wasted no time adding fuel to the fire, questioning why Koyin exposed Jason and Sultana’s kiss when he was guilty of being her first kiss himself. The revelation left Jason stunned, with the house buzzing over the double standards.
Doris strongly criticized Sultana’s decision to kiss Koyin, describing him as inexperienced compared to other housemates, while questioning her true motives. The exchange escalated into yet another heated debate about loyalty, maturity, and the blurred lines between game strategy and genuine emotions.
D) Gigi and Doris Debate the Sultana Situation
Gigi found herself drawn into the drama when Koyin attempted to downplay the kiss, but she quickly shut down the conversation, expressing her disinterest in being entangled. Doris, however, openly defended Sultana, arguing that the kiss was consensual and not the product of intoxication or manipulation.
She pointed out that Dede, who had labeled several male housemates as “fishes,” was in no position to criticize Sultana. Doris insisted the situation was being blown out of proportion, emphasizing that Sultana should not be singled out for something others in the house were equally guilty of.
E) Sultana Seeks Gigi’s Help to Appease Jason
The fallout from the kiss scandal left Sultana visibly shaken. Aware that Jason was upset, she turned to Gigi, pleading for her to intercede on her behalf. With her budding connection with Jason at risk, Sultana grew desperate to repair the damage.
The plea for assistance showed just how fragile the dynamics of relationships in the house have become and how quickly alliances can shift when secrets come to light.
F) Kola Confesses Confusion About His Feelings for Dede
In a conversation with Zita, Kola admitted his uncertainty about Dede after Ebuka exposed her use of the “three fishes” code. He explained that he had started to feel closer to her but was unsettled by the revelation.
While Dede clarified that the term was created in the first week as a playful code between herself and Mide, Kola remained unsure of where he stood. He expressed relief that he was not one of the men involved in the Sultana kiss drama, noting that such entanglement would have made the situation even more awkward.
G) Sultana and Jason Confront Their Relationship Crisis
The tension between Sultana and Jason reached a breaking point when she tried to explain why she had kept her kiss with Koyin a secret. Sultana admitted she was afraid of losing Jason and had chosen silence to protect their growing bond. Although Jason listened to her explanation, he admitted he was overwhelmed by the drama and needed time to process everything. While he did not shut her out completely, his reserved response left their relationship hanging in uncertainty, with Sultana breaking down in tears as she pleaded for understanding.
H) Kaybobo Advises Ivatar on Mensan
Kaybobo engaged Ivatar in a thoughtful conversation about her situation with Mensan after she opened up to Ebuka about liking Kaybobo. He encouraged her to address her boundaries directly with Mensan, especially after she complained about his habit of constantly commenting on her body. Ivatar revealed that she preferred to build a friendship first rather than dive into a relationship.
She also admitted she was uncomfortable with Mensan’s behavior, but Kaybobo urged her to have an honest one-on-one talk. The exchange highlighted the balance Ivatar is trying to maintain between friendship and romance in the highly pressured environment of the house.
Sultana and Doris Reflect on Imisi’s Game
Away from the main drama, Sultana and Doris analyzed Imisi’s gameplay. While Sultana praised her intelligence, Doris jokingly dismissed her chances at surviving the game’s intensity. They also noted how Imisi’s onscreen image contrasted with her personality inside the house, adding another layer to the growing intrigue around her.
Interim HoH Game Ushers New Twist
Week Four kicked off with a fresh twist in the Head of House games, themed “Nostalgia.” Housemates battled through rounds of memory-based challenges, asked to recognize former housemate of BBNaija from Michael to Kesha to Angel to Peace, others, with Doris ultimately emerging victorious.
In a nail-biting final round against Mensan, Isabella, Koyin, and Joanna, Doris remained composed and clinched the win. Her victory earned her the Interim HoH title, and she immediately picked her love interest, Denari, as her guest.
Meanwhile, Rooboy humorously earned the “Snail of the Week” tag for his slow performance, providing comic relief amidst the day’s tension. Doris will now face challengers in a follow-up game to retain her position, raising anticipation for further drama.
August 17 was a whirlwind of emotions, strategy, and revelations in BBNaija Season 10. From unresolved fights and emotional confessions to shocking eviction outcomes and explosive fallout from Ebuka’s probing questions, the day encapsulated everything fans expect from the reality show: drama, strategy, vulnerability, and unexpected twists.
With Doris as the interim HoH and alliances shifting rapidly, the coming days promise even more intrigue and intensity in Biggie’s house.
