    One-time Deputy Head of House Prince has opened up to his love interest Tolanibaj on his losses in the last 39 days.

    After winning the puzzle part of the Pepsi TurUp challenge and losing the second round to TrickyTee and Ozo, Prince pondered the outcome of the task all through the night.

    Prince became anxious after the Housemates left the Arena for the night.

    Beginning in the room with Trikytee and Vee, Prince was already taking his losses quite hard.

    After all the Housemates had settled for their evening work, Prince went to confide in Tolanibaj who had already settled in for the night.

    Prince told Tolanibaj that he felt like he was always paired with people who did not want to win as much as he did.

    He confided in her that if he went harder than his teammate, it would not yield them a win either and so pondered what it meant.

    In the Pepsi TurnUp challenge, he and his partner, Nengi, had planned choreography and decided who would sing which verses.

    He said that this did not transpire in their performance.

    Prince also lamented the Head of House games which he kept losing, even though he wants to win.

    He and Tolanibaj discussed the possibility the HoH games were almost completely based on luck.

    Two-time Head of House Ozo and TrickyTee have emerged winners of the Pepsi TurnUp music challenge.

    The winning team performed Tekno’s hit song, ‘Duro,’ released in 2015.

    For winning the second task, Ozo and TrickyTee won themselves N1 million each, an all-expense-paid trip to Dubai for OneFest music festival and a year supply of Pepsi beverages.

    Earlier in the day, the Housemates in two per team had been asked to assemble a puzzle piece to determine which of the Pepsi ambassadors they will be representing.

    Team Tiwa Savage, which had Prince and Nengi, won the task.

    How the housemates performed at the Pepsi TurnUp music challenge

    The show kicked off at exactly 7pm after four hours of practice.

    Team Davido: Dorathy and Bright O performed Davido’s hit single, ‘If’. It began with a drama but was drab. However, Bright O tried to make the performance interesting by spraying BBNairas and putting a 30BG neck chain on Dorathy during the performance.

    Team DJ Cuppy: Lucy and Kiddwaya performed DJ Cuppy’s hit song feat Tekno, ‘Go Low’. Their performance was below expectation and they struggled with their lyrics.

    Ozo and TrickyTee

    Team Burna Boy: Neo and Erica performed Burna Boy’s hit song, ‘On the Low’. The performance was filled with so much energy. Although they struggled with their lyrics, they were able to make good use of their smiles and energetic performance.

    Team Tekno: TrickyTee and Ozo performed Tekno’s ‘Palanga’. The two men gave a sterling performance with good mastery of their lyrics as well as a well-balanced choreography.

    Team Tiwa Savage: Prince and Nengi performed Tiwa Savage’s hit single, ‘All Over’. The performance kicked off with energy from the beginning with Prince taking the lead with the lyrics and Nengi giving support. They ended their performance with a mild kiss.

    By Adeniyi Adewoyin

    Former Deputy Head of House Dorathy has said she’s trying everything possible to avoid standing on Wathoni’s way of having Bright O.

    She said this during a discussion with fellow housemate, Laycon.

    Speaking to Laycon, Dorathy said: “I never want to be in that situation. As I’m trying so hard, so she doesn’t feel like I’m in her way or anything. Maybe that’s her strategy I don’t know”.

    Responding, Laycon reminded Dorathy of Wathoni’s two previous triangles.

    “Yea it’s good. She has been in two already, first one with Kiddwaya and Erica and the second one with Prince,” she said.

    Wathoni had told Bright O she won’t let anyone take her space on his bed few days back.

    Evicted Housemate Praise has debunked rumors that he is engaged to a 60-year-old woman.

    While in the House, Bright O claimed Praise is engaged to a lady who is twice older.

    Bright O said Praise likes older women, which a weakness he would use it against him.

    But Praise, during a radio interview, said his finance is only 42-year- old and he isn’t ashamed about it.

    He also stated he never had such a conversation with Bright O so he doesn’t know where he came up with it.

    26-year-old Ozoemena Ozo Chukwu is bent on winning a second wager task for the Housemates after the first win under his leadership.

    On day 36, Ozo broke his record by emerging the first Housemate to win the title of Head of House for the second time.

    In the third week of the show, Ozo won the leadership mantle and steered the activities of Housemates into winning their first wager task since the show began on July 19.

    Two weeks after Ozo’s reign, the Housemates had continued to lose their wager tasks under the leadership of Erica/Kiddwaya and Kiddwaya/Tolanibaj.

    Upon his emergence as the house’s leader in the sixth week, Ozo and his Deputy for a second time, Nengi, have shown readiness to rally the housemates to win their wager task.

    Happy with Ozo’s reign, the 14 Housemates have been in a joyous mood as they prepared for their wager task.

    From little skits to jointly singing their favourite songs while they worked, they are determined to win the wager task for the second time.

    Already, the pressure is on Ozo by viewers and fans to lead the housemates to yet another victory. If not for additional shopping allowance, then to prove his first victory wasn’t a fluke.

    How 14 housemates won N4 million in cooking challenge

    By Gbenga Bada

    On Day 37, 14 Housemates won N4 million.

    The task for the day had the remaining 14 Housemates cook noodles with special spices and make a cultural presentation of their prepared meals.

    The Housemates were grouped into seven teams – a male and female housemate per team – and were given different special spices to make different tastes of the noodles.

    The seven teams

    Team One: Kiddwaya, and Wathoni

    Team Two: Neo and Erica

    Team Three: Lucy and Ozo

    Team Four: Tolanibaj and Trikytee

    Team Five: Prince, and Nengi

    Team Six: Dorathy, and Laycon

    Team Seven: Vee and Bright O

    The cooking

    Each pair was asked to exchange their special ingredients with partners and cook using the ingredients exchanged. Batch by batch they entered the kitchen to make their meals. Each batch made up of two pairs of Housemates had 30 minutes to make their meals and they hurried to make sure their meals were ready before the buzzer went off.

    The cultural presentation

    Dressed in their native attires, the housemates made their way to the arena batch by batch to present the dishes they made. First, they had to taste each other’s meals then share their culture and the recipe for the meal. They had 5 minutes to showcase their culture then score each other on how well they thought the meals represented their culture.

    How the teammates scored each other

    Team One

    Kiddwaya – scored Wathoni 7

    Wathoni – scored Kiddwaya 10

    Twisted scores result in monetary prize

    Biggie awarded the 14 Housemates all the cash prizes of N4 million courtesy of Indomie. Each team got a total of N570,000 but the twist was the sharing formulae. The scores given to each partner were reversed so each Housemate had the score they gave their partners while their partners had the score they gave them. The prize money was then shared based on their respective scores.

    Kiddwaya got N235,000; Wathoni got N335,000; Erica got N285,000; Neo got N285,000; Lucy got N285,000; Ozo got N285,000; Tolanibaj got N270,000; Trikytee got N300,000; Laycon got N270,000; Dorathy got N300,000; Nengi got N270,000; Prince got N300,000; Bright O got N263,000 and Vee got N307,000.
