The Head of House game was super competitive yesterday as Hermes emerged the winner for the second time. The HoH title seems to be moving around in a circle in a manner that showed most housemates didn’t stand a chance. Predictably, Hermes picked Allysyn to be with him in the HoH room. Unlike many others, they really needed a secluded space to go intimate. However, we shouldn’t underestimate the power of an enticing bedroom.

Utilising his veto power as one of the spoils of his leadership of the house, Hermes saved Adekunle and shockingly put Bryann up for eviction. He emphasised that his choice was merely due to the fact that he didn’t “fuck with” Bryann. Hermes had his head stuck in the game and focused on the big bag for the longest time. It was the right attitude for winning on this show.

As usual, a fresh argument about the situation in the house emanated from the streets of Twitter. Most housemates are in relationships and entanglements of different Kinds. The viewers suggested that the duos toned down the drama and excitement in the house. This might be a bit of an oversight as the ships sparked the most misadventures in the house. Even now, most people watch the show awaiting the next spicy altercation among couples.

On another note, Doyin’s new found bestie, Chizzy squared up to the former concerning her involvement in the ‘Shella’ (Sheggz & Bella) issues. In the past few weeks, Doyin was deep in people’s businesses, earning her the sarcastic title of ‘the therapist’. When Chizzy asked that she reduced her engagement with the relationship rift, she was offended. In her defence, she mentioned that she never went to meet them, they always came to her and what would she do in that situation, she asked.

However, this conversation was prompted by the buildup of too many incidents that classified Doyin as an intruder. This was not the first case. Why was she always caught up in gossip issues? Chizzy, who was very transparent and bold about instigating controversies, gave his two cents on the issue, ignoring Doyin’s vexation. “I cap as a legend, I don’t miscap….whatever I said, I said it with my full chest.” said Chizzy. A fan mentioned that “Chizzy didn’t audition at all, they must have begged him to come on this show because…”

Nominations were hot yesterday and now Bella, Bryann, Chomzy, Eloswag and Phyna are up for eviction come Sunday. Rachel and Chizzy were also nominated, but as riders, they would be on the show till the end. The riders can’t also contribute to nominations as a condition for their stay in the house.

Surprisingly, Toke Makinwa’s comment on the ‘Shella’ dispute earned her some dragging on Twitter yesterday. In her opinion, Sheggz and Bella deserved each other as they had been kicking through their toxic relationship. The Twitter streets insisted that Bella needed saving and Toke as a toxic marriage survivor should know better. All efforts to explain her comment was to no avail as Sheggz and Bella’s situationship became a deep concern for viewers.

In other news, Sheggz remained the legendary Tail of House second time in a row. His costume was an apron that read “ready to serve”. His punishment also allowed housemates to send him on errands. Viewers must be excited that this was his karma for being outrightly annoying.

Stay tuned to catch up on all the juicy events on this show and vote to keep your favorites till the end.
