With the dust settling after a tense round of nominations, the No Loose Guard housemates turned to navigating their new reality. From party plans to unexpected drama over noodles and pepper, the evening was anything but dull. Here’s a breakdown of the juiciest moments we overheard from the house.

Party like there's no tomorrow 

Upstairs, Kassia, Ocee, Onyeka, Ozee, and Victoria huddled together, discussing how they would spend the week ahead. In a carefree mood, Onyeka declared that she planned to party hard, stating, "This could be my last week of fun." Ocee made jokes and warned that anyone who tried him would "catch hands," turning the conversation into a round of lighthearted jokes. Wanni, who later joined the group, admitted she was already looking forward to life outside the house.

Drama over pepper

Not all was fun and laughter though, as tensions brewed between Nelly and Sooj over something as trivial as pepper. Nelly was visibly upset with Sooj after she asked him to bring pepper so she could cook noodles, but instead, he went upstairs to give thanks for making it to the finale. When Nelly repeatedly said, "It's fine," Sooj, sensing there was more to the issue, tried to talk things out. Nelly, however, kept insisting it was in the past and didn’t want to discuss it further.

Confused by the situation, Sooj confided in Topher, explaining how he had jokingly told Nelly to make eight packs of noodles, not expecting her to take it seriously. Upon returning from his prayer session, Sooj noticed Nelly’s mood had shifted. While he was in a celebratory mood, Nelly’s cold response of "what are we celebrating?" left him bewildered.

Watch the Nelly and Sooj pepper drama

Later, Nelly and Sooj hashed things out in the laundry area. Nelly explained that when she’s upset, she prefers not to talk about the issue right away, something she said she had told Sooj many times before. Sooj expressed how hurt he was, feeling that Nelly’s behaviour signaled she wasn't happy for him reaching the finale. In his view, no matter what had caused Nelly’s anger, she should have put it aside to celebrate with him in the moment. Wahala no dey finish for these two side 😑.

It seems like the housemates are juggling their final days with excitement and emotional tension. As they inch closer to the finale, it’s clear that both friendships and friction will continue to play out under Big Brother’s watchful eye. Will they be able to leave the drama behind and focus on the bigger prize? Only time will tell.
