In a dramatic twist that left millions of viewers stunned and housemates gasping with relief, Big Brother Naija Season 10 served up its first major surprise of the season no one is going home in the first week.
“You’re all safe this week.” With those words, Ebuka turned tension into triumph inside the Big Brother house.
During Sunday’s highly anticipated live eviction show, host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu diffused the anxiety that had been mounting all week. After teasing the housemates with the possibility of eviction, he finally let the suspense break: all 29 contestants were safe.
The news hit like a wave of joy. In an instant, the mood shifted from dread to delight. Housemates erupted into cheers, some breaking into hugs while others sank to the floor in emotional relief. For many, it was the lifeline they didn’t see coming.
Earlier in the week, Biggie had cleverly instructed each housemate to secretly nominate two others for eviction, sparking tension, backroom whispers, and strategic gameplay. But it was all part of a grand design. Unbeknownst to the housemates, the entire process was a ruse a psychological test meant to stir the pot and reveal early alliances, rivalries, and raw emotion.
One contestant stood apart from the chaos Jason Jae, the reigning Head of House. Having secured his position in the week’s HoH challenge, Jason was immune from nomination and watched the proceedings from a place of relative comfort. Still, even he didn’t see the twist coming.
The fake eviction has now set the tone for a season that promises mind games, emotional rollercoasters, and explosive surprises. For the housemates, the first week was a wake-up call. While they may have dodged the first eviction, the real game has only just begun and Biggie is clearly pulling no punches.
With 29 vibrant personalities under one roof and one host known for shaking things up, BBNaija Season 10 is already living up to the hype. If this first twist is any indication, viewers should buckle up. The drama has only just begun.
