Victory, the BBNaija season 10 housemate, on Monday, clinched the head of house (HoH) title for week 2, dethroning Thelma Lawson in a newly introduced title defense challenge.
Thelma won the HoH challenge in a two-peat game on Sunday night after the live eviction show.
However, in a dramatic new twist this season, Big Brother mandated that the interim HoH must defend their title against top-performing housemates the following day.
Thelma faced off against five strong competitors — Victory, Ivatar, Danboskid, Jason Jae, and Dede — who had excelled in the initial HoH challenge.
After intense rounds, Thelma, Victory, and Ivatar advanced to the final stage based on their speed and performance.
In a closely contested final round, Victory outperformed both Thelma and Ivatar to claim the week 2 HoH title, marking a significant power shift in the house.
Meanwhile, Otega received the unfortunate title of ‘House Snail’ for his poor challenge performance. As punishment, he was tasked with cleaning the house’s toilets and bathrooms — also a new twist in the season’s competitive dynamics.
The BBNaija Season 10 kicked off on July 28 with a two-day opening ceremony.
The female housemates came in on Saturday while the male contestants were ushered in on Sunday.
This year’s winner will take home a staggering N150 million — the highest grand prize in the show’s history since its debut in 2006.
