Tonight's live show was a rollercoaster of emotions, with surprises and twists that kept us all on edge. The night kicked off with a bang as Kassia was evicted just moments into the show, setting the tone for an intense evening.

Two more evictions soon followed, with Topher then Ocee also bidding farewell to Biggie's house. This dramatic turn leaves us with eight finalists, Anita, Kellyrae, Nelly, Onyeka, Ozee, Sooj, Victoria and Wanni. 

Get this!

One of them will reign supreme, but only for those who “No Loose Guard!” Nelita, the duo of Anita and Nelly, is the only pair that walked in together and now heads to the finale together. Nelly is also the only housemate with both their pair partner and a romantic partner in the house, while Sooj secured a 'golden ticket' to the finale on Monday, after dodging nominations. For Kassia and Topher, the night was particularly significant – and not just because of their exits.

Watch the triple eviction:

Love confessions and hidden marriages

Topher had only just declared his love for Anita, creating a major moment in the house. Meanwhile, the housemates learned that Kassia is actually Kellyrae’s wife! This shocking revelation came with a bittersweet twist. Kassia had been hoping to share the news on Kellyrae's birthday, which happens to be today, but Kellyrae preferred to wait until their eigth months wedding anniversary this coming Tuesday. Perhaps Kassia sensed her impending eviction and wanted to reveal their secret before leaving the house. In a cruel twist of fate, the moment unfolded on the day Kassia had wished, but she wasn’t there to witness it. 

Ebuka stirs the love pot

Ebuka was in top form tonight, with Kellyrae even noticing that he was smiling more than usual. The seasoned host wasted no time stirring the pot, asking about the ever-popular topic of love in the house. He checked in with Tonita and Solly, who remain tight-lipped about the nature of their relationship. Nelly and Sooj also danced around defining their bond, with Nelly saying she prefers to wait until they know each other better before labelling things.

Anita and Topher were also in the hot seat tonight. When Ebuka asked Anita what "beau" meant in English, she described it as her "special person," while for Topher, it meant "lover." This was a far cry from his earlier declaration in the diary room that “there’s no time for love” when Biggie asked him about his highlights. It left us wondering whether the pair are truly on the same page, or if this new "relationship" is more one-sided.

Watch Ebuka stir the pot: 

Shifting away from the love talk, the drama didn’t end there. Onyeka and Wanni, both dressed in red, were given the chance to explain their heated exchange from last night’s gbedu afterparty. Onyeka, clearly frustrated, said she was tired of the negativity and felt someone had to step up and put 'people' in their place. We can’t help but wonder if Ocee and Ozee felt the same way when they jumped into the fire! 

All in all, it was an unforgettable night, filled with love, drama, and unexpected twists. With three housemates gone, and the top eight heading to the finale, the game just got a lot more interesting!
