BBNaija Season 10 Kicks Off with Game Twists, Tears, Tension in the House
The much-anticipated 10th season of Big Brother Naija burst onto screens on July 26, 2025, with a bold mix of emotional highs, unpredictable twists, and a dynamic lineup of 29 housemates all competing for the grand prize of ₦150 million.
This milestone season has already set itself apart with major gameplay innovations, including a redesigned house, a restructured Head of House (HoH) contest, and a mysterious Bag of Big Twists exclusive to each week’s reigning HoH. In a new twist, HoH duties are now temporary—until they’re revalidated during a Monday “Challenger Game.” The housemate who finishes last in the HoH challenge automatically lands on the nomination list.
Adding to the intrigue is a red telephone that rings at random intervals. Only the HoH is allowed to answer it—and Biggie’s surprise instructions have proven to shake things up.
Another new feature, the “Influential Player of the Week,” promises to spotlight standout contestants beyond typical nominations.
Last week, Jason Jae clinched the first HoH title and successfully defended it during the Monday challenge. He chose Doris to share the HoH lounge, marking the first official alliance of the season.
But beneath the strategy and competition, emotions have run deep. Contestants like Koyin, Imisi, Mensan, and Rooboy all broke down in the diary room during the intense opening week.
Koyin’s breakdown followed a heated kitchen argument with Kaybobo, which escalated when Koyin accused him of disrespecting his late father.
The emotional weight of the confrontation lingered during a subsequent task, pushing Koyin to tears.
Imisi, meanwhile, confided in Biggie about her insecurities. “I came with what I could find—only three wigs. Everyone looks so good and I’m just trying to keep up,” she said through tears.
Mensan’s vulnerability struck a deeper chord as he opened up about growing up without a father figure and his desire to support his family. “I’m not just here for me. I want to be someone they can rely on,” he shared during a tearful confession. While Biggie offered reassurance, some fans—like former housemate Pere—were skeptical. “You see this? This is acting,” Pere posted online, sparking mixed reactions.
Rooboy also showed signs of emotional strain, contributing to what fans are already calling one of the show’s most emotionally charged opening weeks.
Adding to the tension, all housemates were told they are up for possible eviction. Unbeknownst to them, the nominations are fake, and no one will be leaving just yet. Still, the looming fear has pushed contestants into high emotional gear, setting the stage for what promises to be a rollercoaster season.
