\nBefore Wager prep kicked off, Abi<\/a> addressed the house on housekeeping, with HoH Chimsom Chuka<\/a> backing her up since shared spaces mean shared responsibility.<\/p>\n
09:00 am: Pool to de-stress 10:00 am: Focus mode 11:00 am: Diary room confessions 12:00 pm: The boys chat about the ladies 1:00 pm: Chimsom Chuka feels the heat 2:00 pm: Team Nurture strategise 3:00 pm: Team Nature wrap up rehearsals as Wager prep continues 4:00 pm: Trouble in paradise 5:00 pm: What\u2019s cooking?<\/p>\n
\nTo de-stress from back-to-back Wager prep, Martins, Sultex, Gerard<\/a>, and Araga played a round of pool. Aikou<\/a> was spotted soliloquising, while Abi chatted with Yusuf to clear her head.<\/p>\n
\nWager prep ramped up fast. Chimsom Chuka told Yusuf to start thinking of three group outfits for Team Nature’s presentation, while Team Nurture members Temi Nkem and Nomy<\/a> ran their lines together. Ricky also rehearsed, entertaining himself with a song along the way.<\/p>\n
\nIn a chaotic and hilarious diary session, Temi Nkem<\/a> admitted to Biggie that she’s felt stuck in her shell, opening up about her fear of the dark, her struggle to trust Biggie, and a tense house moment she stepped into between Neche, Bluethopia<\/a>, and Ricky<\/a>. She got candid about growing up in London, insisting her journey wasn’t without hardship, and confessed to having a soft spot for both Barry<\/a> and Keivo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\nSheba’s<\/a> diary session was a mix of gratitude and humility \u2014 she admitted last night’s outburst left her feeling lighter, opened up about the pressure of her team’s Wager prep, and shared her admiration for Chimsom Chuka’s emotional side as HoH. In a chat with Cassi<\/a> and Barry, Tram<\/a> had a moment rating the female housemates’ beauty: Neche<\/a> was crowned the “full package,” while Tram couldn’t stop gushing about Sheba, and Goddessa<\/a> also earned a mention. Tram’s own diary session followed, unveiling more of his personality \u2014 he praised Aikou’s intellect, called Sheba’s honesty about her own weaknesses impressive, and admitted his early read on Chimsom Chuka was one of competition, while calling Martins easily swayed \u2014 a trait he called risky in the game.<\/p>\n
\nYusuf<\/a> used his diary session to reflect on his HoH partnership duties, his early read on Aikou as a “special guy,” and his growing respect for Chimsom Chuka’s leadership, teasing that he’s ready to reveal more of himself in the coming days. Meanwhile, HoH Chimsom Chuka used his own diary session to admit the pressure of leading for the first time, sharing his read on several housemates’ game plays, and admitting he misses his family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nWith the clock ticking, the ladies of Team Nurture gathered to divide up roles for their Wager presentation. Biggie then summoned the housemates into the Arena, where, under the guidance of HoH Chimsom Chuka, they were split into their teams and given time to rehearse as a group. The ladies of Team Nurture went first, followed by the men of Team Nature.<\/p>\n
\nAfter the men wrapped up their group rehearsal, the housemates split off but kept practising. Flora<\/a> and Oyin<\/a> rehearsed lines together, Cassie ran through his part solo, while others chatted in smaller groups.<\/p>\n
\nAfter sharing a kiss earlier in the day, it appears all is not well between Goddessa and Araga<\/a>. While chatting in the lounge, Araga opened up about some issues that have been affecting him in the house. Goddessa expressed that she doesn’t always want to be focused on having constant conversations with him, as she also wants to chat with others, and she encouraged Araga to try to do the same. Is Goddessa just pushing him to open up to others, or is there real trouble aboard this ship?<\/p>\n
