Zita Takes the Crown: A New Queen in the House

The week kicked off with Doris as the interim Head of House, but it didn’t last long. Zita snatched the coveted HOH title after a fierce challenger game, making history as only the second female Head of House this season.

Zita’s reign immediately set the tone for the week. Acting like the eldest sister during Nostalgia Week, she assigned chores and tried to keep the house in line — though not without sparks of rebellion from some housemates.

A Morning of Confessions

Week 4 began on a calmer note with Kaybobo leading the indoor exercise session. But breakfast quickly brought out the emotions. Imisi snapped when accused of hiding bread, while Sultana confided in Kuture about a kiss with Koyin before her situationship with Jason Jae.

Rooboy reflected on trust and personal growth, while Victory had a heartfelt moment with Bright Morgan, apologising for being too blunt about his feelings for other women. Dede and Mide clarified boundaries, and Jason Jae revisited his triangle with Dede,  ultimately closing the door on lingering friendship tensions.

The Hunt for the Red Envelopes

As usual, nominations kicked off with a frantic search for immunity red envelopes. Only four housemates — Koyin, Imisi, Mensan, and Victory — were left at the end, with Victory just missing out. A dramatic standoff between Koyin and Kaybobo ended with Kaybobo winning by strength.

HOH Zita, Most Influential Player Jason Jae, and House Snail Rooboy sat out, leaving Rooboy automatically nominated. Using the Tree of Trinkets, Zita saved Mensan and Faith, but 20 housemates remained vulnerable, with the prize pot rising to ₦25 million thanks to Biggie’s reward.

Frenemies and Fish Feuds

Kitchen tensions flared with Victory preparing two fish for himself, leading to a heated exchange with Kaybobo. Imisi received a stern warning about cooking her own meals, and Doris gave Gigi Jasmine advice on navigating “negative energy” in the house.

Advice and gossip ran rampant, revealing cracks in friendships and trust, and prompting whispers, warnings, and blunt confrontations.

Inside the Diary Room: Confessions and Quiet Battles

Imisi revealed her exhaustion, emotional turmoil, and distrust for most relationships in the house, while Denari reflected on his own performance and observed growth in others. Gigi Jasmine admitted to feeling lonely despite a bright exterior, and Rooboy declared he was “no longer the good guy,” frustrated by power struggles and food politics.

Ivatar warned of hidden “snakes,” and Konyin celebrated his first real birthday in the house — an unforgettable day of cake, games, and laughter.

Nostalgia Sparks Sibling-Style Tensions

Nostalgia Week had housemates reliving childhood memories, resulting in sibling-like power struggles. Zita, as the eldest sister, tried to manage chores, but complaints and subtle rebellions from Faith, Big Soso, and others kept her on her toes. Mide’s playful policing earned her the “Kitchen Police” crown, but underlying tensions persisted.
