Joanna and Kuture experience consecutive eliminations in a single night. Furthermore, some contestants struggled, while others thrived under the pressure of Ebuka’s challenging questions.
The 9th Live Show began under the dazzling Lagos lights with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu firmly at the helm, emulating the legendary style of Sonny Okosun in a sophisticated denim ensemble: a zip-front, long-sleeve shirt with a sharp collar, tailored front-seamed flares, and sleek black shoes.
“Evictions can be brutal,” he warned, and the night unequivocally proved this assertion.
In less than 24 hours, the host had brought the party at Biggie’s house to an abrupt end, shortly after the Saturday Night Turn-Up, and in a ruthless post-party twist, Thelma Lawson and Bright Morgan were escorted out.
Sunday provided the pair, who had been evicted just minutes after the music ended, with a dignified exit, via a stage walk, and an opportunity for introspection. Thelma Lawson, who remained calm and collected, revealed that she had steeled herself for the possibility.
‘I was in high spirits last night, making it the ideal time for my eviction.’ The mention of Kaybobo, the gentleman she might consider pursuing outside, brought a spark of enthusiasm to her demeanor.
Bright Morgan accepted the shock, disclosing that he had been delighted to witness his impressive longevity in the highly competitive game. “I informed my mom that I want to be here for one week.
Then, from one week to two weeks, then from two weeks to three weeks… I’m just grateful to be here.” When asked about the outside girlfriend versus his reality-show chemistry with Mide, he replied frankly: “I entered the house and instructed myself that I would live in the moment”, he recalled.
“This is a reality show, and I needed to live the reality – and Mide happened. That’s the reality of it!”
The game, however, refused to settle. Ebuka saluted Zita’s second Head of House reign as the first woman this season to attain it.
However, he promptly turned up the heat, inquiring about her conversation with Kola, where she mentioned that certain aspects of Koyin’s behavior “throw her off.” Zita remained unfazed, confirming the pattern originated from her first reign, providing just enough information to sustain suspicion, and leaving the specifics to simmer.
Her dollhouse week had already generated new alliances, sudden fallouts, and Biggie’s double after-party eviction. Clearly, Zita has a lot on her mind.
Pepper navigated the room expeditiously. Dede deftly sidestepped confrontation when questioned about labeling Kola “two-faced”.
She has valid reasons, declines to share them, and asserts he will discover them regardless.
Kola attempted to tread carefully: “Dede has made it clear she has someone outside.”
While he finds her attractive, that fact remains an immutable reality.
Jason Jae maintained a professional demeanor, reaffirming his friendships with both Sultana and Joanna while advocating for diplomatic neutrality as a means of mitigating the apparent tension.
The room fell silent as Joanna’s name was announced.
The timing was particularly poignant, coming mere minutes after she had been prompted to clarify her relationship with Jason Jae and acknowledge Faith’s affections.
Joanna became the first housemate to be evicted, and as she exited, she maintained a composed demeanor.
On stage, she remained diplomatic, referring to Jason Jae as “my friend.”
She similarly downplayed her connection with Faith and dismissed the significance of their Saturday-night encounter, stating “nothing happened; he simply stayed there.”
Joanna’s departure was marked by her refusal to engage with the narrative, instead choosing to control her own edit.
Following the cessation of the floorboards’ vibrations, a second name was disclosed from the eviction envelope: Kuture.
The man who had previously gasped audibly at Joanna’s departure mere seconds prior became the next prominent headline, inducing a collective dropping of jaws.
He responded to the news with the same unbridled candour that contributed to his popularity. When asked if he was surprised, he smiled:
By the final commercial break, the storylines had undergone another transformation.
With Zita firmly at the helm, Koyin discourse was poised to intensify without the answers, and the Joanna–Jason–Faith triangle had been abruptly dissolved, the house felt strangely quieter and somehow more treacherous.
Without Kuture’s running commentary, gossip would not circulate as quickly; it might simmer in corners and, perhaps, emerge at the nomination board instead? And now, without Joanna, Jason Jae had only one ‘friend’ who was ‘free to do what she wants’.
Evictions can be ruthless,” Ebuka stated initially. By the time cameras faded, the line felt less like a caution and more like a prediction.
Two shocking exits, alliances scrambled, power consolidated: the 10/10 house didn’t just deliver drama, it rewrote its own headlines in real time.
