The Big Brother Naija 10/10 housemates have been narrowed down to the top 10 finalists ahead of Sunday’s grand finale.

The finalists are Kola, Imisi, Isabella, Sultana, Jason Jae, Mensan, Koyin, Kaybobo, Dede, and Faith.

During the live eviction show in Lagos on Sunday, the show host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu announced the exit of three housemates; Mide, Zita, and Rooboy.

The remaining seven contestants joined Sultana, the Head of House; Mensan, the most influential player; and Kaybobo, who secured immunity through the red phone twist deducting ₦10 million from the prize money.

Mide, the first to leave, expressed surprise at how far she had made it in the house.

She said last week was particularly difficult without Bright Morgan but reminded herself why she was in the game.

She told fans, “Watch out for Mide the actress, she is coming,” revealing that her time in the house sparked a passion for acting she plans to explore outside the Big Brother Naija house.

Zita was the second to exit. On stage, she said she was grateful to God for the time spent in the house and reflected on her journey.

On a potential reunion with Danboskid, she said she cannot say until she meets him. Regarding her fight with Rooboy, she described it as emotional, saying, Rooboy is a cool person.

Rooboy was the third housemate evicted. On stage, he shared his plans to explore hyping, acting, contribution into the football community and acting.

The eviction also featured a brief moment with Faith, who acknowledged some tension in the house.

Asked by Ebuka about conflicts with colleagues, he admitted, “I am the problem sometimes and sometimes it is the housemates.”

Isabella addressed questions about her interactions with various male housemates, including Koyin, explaining, she was just having fun.” Koyin confirmed that the fun was mutual.

The bottom three for the week saw Mide topping the chart, with Zita at the last spot.

Sunday’s grand finale promises an exciting conclusion as the top 10 housemates compete for the BBNaija 10/10 crown.
