Big brother Naija’s latest twist caught housemates off-guard with a replication puzzle challenge.

Biggie, the mastermind behind the game, introduced what seemed like “an easy game of replication.” Little did the housemates know that this seemingly straightforward challenge would turn the tides of the game.

The task required the housemates to replicate a challenging Big Brother puzzle in the arena, which put their intelligence, coordination, and patience to the ultimate test. Mercy Eke, who is renowned for her unwavering spirit, had a rare setback and metaphorically “walked to walk of shame” as she struggled to solve the challenging puzzle.

Doyin, who never one to shy away from questioning Biggie’s intentions, openly voiced skepticism about the task’s apparent simplicity, echoing the sentiments of her fellow housemates.

After an intense showdown and a whirlwind of puzzle pieces falling into place, the triumphant trio of Ike, Soma, and Venita emerged as the leaders of the pack.

A surprising twist followed as Ike, who conquered the intricate challenge, was anointed the week’s Head of House.

Biggie chose to bypass the customary decider task, recognising Ike’s talent as the sole household member to solve the first puzzle.

As the newly crowned Head of House, Ike extended invitations to his close allies. Venita and CeeC were among the chosen few, while a twist emerged when Seyi, the lone male BFF, discovered a mysterious black envelope containing unexpected privileges.

In an unexpected turn of events, the envelope granted Seyi access to the coveted HOH gym facilities, rather than the anticipated immunity from eviction. Seyi, while honored, yearned to share the privilege, wishing he could extend the benefit to another housemate.

In a strategic maneuver, the alliance of Angel, Ike, Mercy Eke, and Seyi rallied behind Frodd in the “pardon me please” nominations. This united front secured Frodd’s immunity from potential eviction for the week.

BFF Venita added a dash pf unpredictability by creating alliance with Adekunle and eschewing alignment with her fellow besties, defying expectations.

As the housemates continue to navigate the unpredictable Big Brother Naija landscape, the stage is set for more twists, turns, and alliances that will shape their journey within the house.
