The August 14 episode of Big Brother Naija Season 10 delivered a full mix of entertainment, emotions, and drama — from high-energy poolside celebrations to teary diary room revelations, strategic conversations, and late-night verbal showdowns.
Pool Party After the Indomie Task Win
Thursday night kicked off with the much-anticipated weekly pool party, which came shortly after the Indomie Task in the kitchen. The challenge saw Team Oriental Fried Noodles — comprising Koyin, Dede, Imisi, Thelma, Otega, Jason, Kuture, Kayikunmi, and Sultana — emerge victorious.
The win added an extra layer of excitement to the evening, as the winning housemates headed to the pool in high spirits, showing off their best dance moves, swimwear, and playful banter alongside others.
Emotional Diary Room Sessions
Some housemates broke down during their diary room sessions. Among the notable ones:
Imisi revealed deep frustrations over repeated verbal jabs from Isabella and Thelma, who allegedly called her derogatory names. She expressed feeling singled out and underestimated, saying the constant antagonism during tasks had taken an emotional toll.
Denari also became emotional, though his reasons were less explicitly stated, showing that tensions in the house are affecting multiple personalities.
Ivatar shed tears over what she described as repeated disrespect for her personal belongings. From Kuture drinking directly from her water bottle to Jason using it to wash his face, dirty clothes being placed on hers, and even her slippers going missing, she lamented her discomfort with “dirty” habits from fellow housemates.
Friendship Tensions Between Dede and Koyin
One of the evening’s more layered conversations unfolded between Dede and Koyin. While the exchange was playful at times, it exposed subtle tension over boundaries, mutual expectations, and unspoken emotional connections.
Dede questioned whether her consistent efforts to “help” Koyin were appreciated, while Koyin reassured her she was never a disturbance. Still, undertones of pride, vulnerability, and potential strategic awareness surfaced during their banter.
Dede and Kola Address Their Relationship Dynamic
Dede confronted Kola over comments she perceived as diminishing their bond, particularly a remark about only being interested in her because she was the “only one” in the house. Kola denied any malicious intent, insisting she was the only person he had a real connection with inside the house.
He even revealed that his habit of winking at her was unconscious — something he found sexy because of her reactions. The conversation ended with mutual reassurance, though it’s clear their dynamic remains under the microscope.
Kayikunmi’s Situationship Woes
Kayikunmi spent much of the day seeking advice on his relationship with Isabella.
Speaking with Kaybobo after talking with Kola, he described her as “too full of herself” and claimed she made the first move. Kaybobo advised him to be himself and not let her overshadow him.
Meanwhile, Thelma had earlier openly criticized his lack of strategy, suggesting his current survival in the game might be a stroke of luck rather than a result of gameplay.
Mide and Dede Disagree Over Alliances
Mide expressed disappointment that Dede appeared friendly with Zita, who had previously called Mide “boring.”
Dede defended herself, stating that in the BBNaija house, issues are not “inherited” from others and that she had no obligation to avoid Zita simply because of Mide’s conflict with her.
Isabella’s Explosive Clash with Thelma and Otega
The night’s biggest blow-up came after the pool party when Isabella engaged in a fiery verbal war with Thelma and Otega. The confrontation, which stemmed from unresolved tensions involving Kayikunmi, quickly devolved into personal insults.
Thelma accused Isabella of being “empty” and dependent on her situationship for relevance, while Isabella fired back with equally harsh words, including derogatory labels, transgender slurs.
Otega tried to assert his independence, saying he didn’t need the prize money, but Isabella retorted that he should “go home” if that were true.
Jason’s Perspective on the Dede-Koyin Alliance
In his diary session, Jason claimed that his recent game answer upset Dede’s ego, leading her to align more closely with Koyin.
He also expressed frustration that Dede was upset over his kiss with Sultana, insisting they were “just friends” and that he owed her no explanation.
Koyin’s Loyalty and Diary Room Insight
When asked by Big Brother who she would save if given the power, Koyin named Rooboy (who already had immunity) and then Dede, whom she called her best friend despite house gossip suggesting Dede was trying to “play three guys.” Koyin maintained that she was not in competition with anyone and that her bond with Dede was based on mutual respect, not romance.
Dede Reacts to the “Pee Incident”
Perhaps one of the day’s interesting revelations came from Dede, who spoke on Sultana urinating in her open box after last Saturday party. She expressed disbelief that Sultana could stand, walk, and still choose her box over the nearby bathroom.
While she said Koyin suggested Sultana might have been drunk, Dede wasn’t convinced, described the act as the “worst thing” anyone had done to her in the house.
August 14 in the BBNaija S10 house was a microcosm of the show’s unpredictable nature — moments of joy at the pool party sharply contrasted with personal grievances, strategic tensions, and explosive confrontations.
From shifting alliances and budding friendships to heated fights and shocking incidents, the day highlighted just how volatile and emotionally charged the BBNaija environment can be.
