When Jason Jae was announced as the interim Head of House on Sunday night, it was a quiet sign that this season of Big Brother won’t follow the usual script. But barely 48 hours later, Biggie dropped a surprise that changed the tone of the game completely—every single housemate is now up for possible eviction.

The announcement dropped like a bombshell. Just as the housemates were beginning to settle in and navigate early alliances, Big Brother changed the game. What began as a routine nomination process—Diary Room murmurs and calculated name drops—ended with a stunning twist: every housemate was placed on the chopping block.

Jason Jae’s victory in the Head of House challenge earned him a brief seat of authority, along with the expected immunity. But unlike past seasons, his position didn’t come with nomination powers or any real influence. He’s the Head in name, but the power remains firmly in Biggie’s hands.

Inside the house, the twist stirred immediate tension. A few housemates kept their cool, but most were clearly rattled. Conversations grew shorter. Eye contact became calculated. The early days, usually spent building friendships and routines, were suddenly charged with suspicion.

Outside the house, fans had been scrambling to make sense of the twist. Was it a real eviction week? A hidden task? A mind game? Speculation ran wild—until Ebuka cleared the air: it’s a fake nomination. But even a fake move in Biggie’s world isn’t without consequences. Some viewers now see it as a calculated shake-up, designed to rattle early bonds and expose where loyalties really lie.

Whatever the motive, one thing is certain—Big Brother Season 10 isn’t easing into the action. The mind games have started early, and the psychological pressure is real. In this house, it’s not just about playing the game—it’s about staying ahead of it. And this time, no one’s coasting through the opening week.

The most talked-about reality show in Africa is back on our screens again with the theme 10/10 and this time, Big Brother Naija isn’t playing games. Just when viewers were expecting the usual  housemates rollout, Big Brother flipped the script.
On Saturday, 15 female housemates were introduced with no men in sight. Then on Sunday, just as fans were beginning to pick their favourites, the male housemates made their surprise entrance.
Now that the full cast is in play, unless Big Brother has another surprise up his sleeves, it’s time to dive into who’s who inside the house.
