Tuesday, August 5, 2025, in the Big Brother Naija Season 10 house was a dramatic follow-up to Monday’s major shake-up that saw 27 housemates put up for eviction in a shocking twist. As tensions soared, housemates responded in different ways—some with bold declarations, others with emotional retreat.

From shifting alliances to simmering love triangles and surprise new roles, here’s what went down in the house.

Aftermath of the 27-Housemate Eviction Twist Leaves House in Shock

The massive eviction nomination twist, which placed 27 housemates up for possible eviction on Monday, August 4, continued to reverberate through the house on Tuesday. Introduced as part of Biggie’s plan to intensify gameplay and pressure, the twist stunned housemates.

Big Brother also introduced a fresh dynamic to the show—a weekly rating system where housemates now rank each other based on influence, participation, and overall entertainment value.

The twist adds pressure and strategy, with each housemate scoring fellow contestants from 1 to 5 across categories like task contributions, morning workouts, house chores, and impact on house dynamics.

One of the standout moments of the day involved Mide’s unexpected conversation with Dede, where she subtly unpacked sensitive details about Kola’s emotional state regarding Dede and Koyin. Although Kola had confided in Mide in confidence, Mide chose to open up to Dede anyway—revealing that Kola felt deeply misunderstood and was worried that he might appear foolish to viewers based on his interactions.

According to Mide’s own framing, Kola had shared some concerns with Big Brother, believing that people—both inside the house and possibly outside—might see him as being emotionally vulnerable or played. His discomfort was particularly focused on Dede and Koyin’s growing closeness.

Mide advised Dede to tread carefully, suggesting that Kola might carry these sensitivities beyond the show and that Dede risked being portrayed as the villain if she appeared dismissive. Dede, however, maintained that her connection with Kola was never intended to be romantic or serious. She felt pressured by Kola’s emotional expectations, especially since she had already disclosed to housemates that she has a boyfriend outside the house.

Dede expressed that her conversations with Kola were often too heavy, emotionally charged, and not the kind of light-hearted bonding she wanted in the house. From her perspective, Kola was misreading her intentions and becoming overly invested.

Mide, to her credit, acknowledged both sides—recognizing that while Dede sought peace and laughter, Kola’s growing emotional attachment was creating internal friction for him, especially as he witnessed her spending time with Koyin. Kola’s assumption that emotional dynamics inside the house should differ from those outside only added to his internal dilemma.
