Day 38: Recap, How It Went Down





First it was the surprise return of Bisola and Bally, who had spent a few days on a “beautiful island”, plus the surprise visit from TV personality IK Osakioduwa.

IK fetched Bisola and Bally from their island getaway, ushering them into the House and while the Housemates were still hugging and kissing the two in excitement, in came IK, sending the Housemates jumping with excitement.



The two Housemates were ushered to an island during the Live Eviction Show on Sunday, where they were wined and dined, while they watched the other Housemates on the TV screen, without them knowing. The Housemates had a lot of questions for the returned Housemates, with some asking if Fake Housemates Jon and Ese were really Evicted. Bally confirmed that they had actually been Evicted.



While sitting in the garden, Bisola and ThinTallTony talked about how much they missed each other.  “I missed you a lot and I was watching you a lot,” Bisola admitted to ThinTallTony.

Then came the paintball Game



There was a spray gun, some paint, screaming and a lot of ouchies!

That pretty much sums up the Housemates’ afternoon, as they played a game of paintball. This was their first Task for the day, after a morning filled with several surprises.

Immediately after changing into comfortable clothes, in readiness for the Task, the Housemates convened in the Arena where HoH ThinTallTony paired them into five pairs.

First up were Bisola and Bassey. Bassey, the shooter, had her screaming, as he took shots at the canvas. Some of the shots landed on Bisola. She had her turn, as she too fired strong shots at the canvas, with some landing on Bassey. Next up were Efe and TBoss, who were followed by ThinTallTony and Uriel, Bally and Debie-Rise, then finally Kemen and Marvis.

Immediately after all pairs had taken turns in shooting, Biggie wondered which team had the best artwork. A few names were mentioned by the Housemates, before Biggie asked them to step away from the artwork and further congratulating the Housemates for succeeding in creating fine pieces of art.

Diary Sessions



Diary Sessions kicked off with Biggie calling the Housemates in one by one, with TBoss taking the lead.

Soon as she was seated in the Diary Room, TBoss was asked how she felt about the return of Bally and Bisola she said she was happy. She admitted to being a little shocked at the unexpected nature of Big Brother’s twists, and she would love to see Miyonse and Gifty return to the House. She loved the paintball challenge and felt her team won the challenge, with Kemen and Marvis finishing second.

Marvis - said the mood in the House was definitely lit since the return of Bisola and Bally

ThinTallTony - told Bigge that Ebuka’s warning of not being too analytical of the game has been a constant reminder in his mind so he has tried to contain his curiousity, however he was still shocked albeit pleasantly at the return of Bally and Bisola. He admitted it all made sense why they couldn’t use the Arena for their morning exercises.

Bassey - couldn’t contain his excitement levels as he thanked Biggie vehemently for bringing IK into the House earlier, saying it was like being in the presence of a demi-god. He said he was happy to see Bisola and Bally return and would love to see Gifty and CoCoIce return as well

Bisola - couldn’t stop thanking Big Brother for the Paradise experience she got to enjoy with Bally. She was also grateful for the peripheral view of the House they enjoyed while in paradise as it helped her understand the House and the Housemates better. She believed by the mere fact of being on the show made her a winner as the show has given her a huge platform to springboard off.

Uriel - was shocked and pleased when Big Brother greeted her in her native dialect of igbo. She told Biggie that her heart dropped when she saw Bally and Bisola return, she told Biggie how unfair it was for Evicted Housemates to be brought back into the House.

Bally - said the mood in the House seemed high as all the Housemates seemed ecstatic to have him and Bisola return to the House. He cited that BBNaija is a competition and though he missed some of the Evicted Housemates, he didn’t see any need for them to return to the House because he didn’t want any of them affecting his chances of winning the game.

Efe - told Biggie that the general mood in the House was now lively again with the return of Bisola who he called the life of the party, and Bally; citing that their supposed Eviction had shaken everybody, himself inclusive. He told Biggie that he didn’t want any more Housemates returning because he didn’t want them to affect his chances in the competition.

Kemen - told Big Brother that he felt great and was content with the mood in the House as his fellow Housemates all seemed very cooperative lately. He felt very happy at the return of Bisola and Bally as he had asked for their return at yesterday’s Diary Session

Debie-Rise - told Biggie that the mood in the House was high now, especially after the return of Bisola and Bally. She also added that the visit of IK was very enlightening and she was grateful to big Brother for making it possible.

Just as the Diary Sessions were winding down, the Housemates convened in the lounge motivated by the words from IK’s visit earlier.

In a typical round table manner, the Housemates decided to take Ik’s advice about planning their futures ahead not based on the winnings from the competition, but calling on their strengths, talents and passion to create unique career path for themselves.
