In a dramatic turn of events, Kellyrae pulled off a major win by being crowned this week's Head of House, not only dodging the nomination block but also becoming the first finalist of the season. Sooj, who miraculously avoided any nominations, followed closely behind as the second finalist. However, the road to the finale isn’t as smooth for Anita, Kassia, Nelly, Ocee, Onyeka, Ozee, Topher, Victoria, and Wanni, who find themselves up for possible eviction this Sunday.

The penultimate HoH showdown

The HoH challenge tonight was the most critical one of the season. A win didn't just secure immunity but also a guaranteed spot in the finale. Kellyrae rose to the occasion, clocking the fastest time of 5 minutes and 36 seconds to claim the coveted HoH title.

In addition to his immunity, Kellyrae will enjoy the luxuries of the Head of House condo, which had been locked for more than a week as part of the house’s punishment. He chose Kassia as his guest, sparking speculation that the two might enjoy a second honeymoon in the cosy quarters 😊.

The nominations twist 

With the finale in sight, Biggie reinstated the diary room nominations, abandoning the face-to-face nominations of recent weeks. One by one, the housemates entered the diary room, each tasked with nominating two others. Their reasons ranged from personal rifts and strategic moves to simply targeting those who haven’t been on the chopping block often enough.

After the dust settled, nine housemates were placed on the nomination list: Anita, Kassia, Nelly, Ocee, Onyeka, Ozee, Topher, Victoria, and Wannii

With the finale just around the corner, every move counts. As Kellyrae and Sooj relax in their finalist status, the rest must fight for their place in the finale or risk leaving the house on Sunday. Who will make it out of the danger zone?
