Temi Nkem told Sheba she now feels betrayed now. Sheba asked why and Temi Nkem said she feels like Barry just wanted them to dress up quickly because he knows they would take long.

Barry is done cooking and woke up Aikou who was sleeping on the Kitchen’s couch. He dished up for himself, Aikou, Temi Nkem, Bluethopia and Sheba.
Barry brought food to Bluethopia, Sheba and Temi Nkem in the Garden. He settled down next to the women and enjoyed his food. Temi Nkem continued to nap, while Bluethopia digged into her plate. Sheba was still busy with her makeup.
Bluethopia moved from where she was sitting to sit in the garden chair in front of Barry. She asked him if he’s looking at her? Barry laughed it off. She then sits on the garden chair, and he sits next to her.

They settle on the Kitchen’s couch. Temi Nkem joked, saying she wonders how she'll relate with her family, because she's a celebrity now.
Temi Nkem said she's happy she got her first immunity and added "At the very end." Ricky walked into the Kitchen and Temi Nkem asked him if he'll vote for her for Most Influential Person of the Week (MIPOW). Bluethopia then asked him who will win the grand prize and Ricky said he would have gone for Keivo. He said he was sure Keivo was going to win.
Bluethopia agreed and said Keivo is someone the youth would look up to. She also named Barry, but Ricky said he doesn't think Barry will win because he's too soft.
Bluethopia then named Aikou.
She said amongst the girls, it will be Oyin. Temi Nkem asked them why they (voters) will not make her win? Ricky leaves to go find something to eat.
Ricky is back chatting with Bluethopia and Temi Nkem in the Kitchen.
Bluethopia said Temi Nkem was annoying in the first few weeks, she was always gisting with Goddessa and Araga. Temi Nkem said: "You guys are silly, look at you now."
Bluethopia asked the question again: which lady will win? Ricky said Flora is supposed to win but Flora is the Gambit. Temi Nkem said everyone is saying Flora is the Gambit. Bluethopia said she'll laugh when Ebuka says someone else's name as the female Gambit.
Flora is done getting dressed. She found Oyin in the Garden. Flora updated Oyin that Ricky, Bluethopia and Temi Nkem are analysing the housemates. She said they're predicting who will win. She says she heard Sheba's name in the conversation.
2:00 pm – Who is your type?
In the HoH Loft, Tram and Oyin are dancing and talking in front of the mirror.
They walk back to the Garden to find Flora sitting on the couch. Tram remembered that it's Keivo's birthday and says, "Happy birthday Keivo."
Tram and Oyin are chatting in the Garden. Oyin insisted that she's just joking with Barry, it's not that deep.
Tram asked her if Barry would be serious with her, would she take him seriously? Oyin said she wouldn’t. She believes if her type would come and she's with Barry, she'd leave Barry. They then talk her experience with her ex-boyfriend. She said they weren't mature enough; there was a lot of learning in the relationship. Tram shared his views about his past relationship as well.
Barry, Bluethopia and Temi Nkem are together. Temi Nkem told Barry about the conversation earlier. Temi Nkem said the housemates probably wouldn't like her if she wasn't British. Barry said the housemates probably wouldn't have liked her if she wasn't this cute. He said Temi Nkem is cute and she gets away with anything.
3:00 pm – Divorcees?
Oyin, Barry, Tram and Bluethopia are in the Kitchen.
Barry called Oyin his ex-wife and he said that she had divorced him. Oyin asked Tram if he is not proud of her and he said he is proud. Bluethopia told Oyin that if their parents treated marriages like this, they would not be married right now.
Oyin responded by saying she does not need anyone as long as she has her twin Tra and he agreed, he said you do not need anybody.
Barry asked Oyin if the oil she is putting in the pan is not enough and Tram told Barry to not talk to her. Barry asked to see Oyin's earring and said so they are the same as the dress.
Oyin told him to bring the divorce papers and she will sign them. Oyin said Big Brother is giving us privilege we never had before and Barry told her the privilege he (Biggie) gave him is you (Oyin).
Oyin asked Tram how many eggs does he wants and he says ten, and then asked how many do they have? Barry said wow you are in wife duty mode I see.
Tram said he is enjoying the house now. He added that this is what he signed up for and said there is no food drama. He just wishes they can bring back Neche and Cassi.
4:00 pm: Reunion talk
In the Garden, chatting with Aikou, Barry said he couldn't wait to see the evicted housemates, since it felt like ages since Martins left. He was also glad he'd won the Travelbeta task, adding that since they won as a group, they'd all travel together. The two then bonded over a shared habit, washing any plates they see, and Aikou even included the toilets, calling it self-love. Barry said he missed Abi, who was known for always getting things done. Aikou agreed, and both said she's softer than people think.
5:00 pm: Housemates prepare for the Friday Night Arena Games
In the Kitchen, Sheba said the sink revealed food she hadn't known was cooked. She joked that Biggie should tell people they can't leave until the sinks are clean, just like boarding school. Sheba and Bluethopia had planned a proper cleaning session for the next day, especially the kitchen, so Sunday would be stress-free. Sheba also noticed the house had a lot of food and urged everyone to eat it.
HoH Barry then collected the betPawa merch from the Storeroom, and the housemates changed into it in preparation for the Friday Nigh Arena Games. Barry and Aikou played snooker, and Sheba asked Ricky which evicted housemates he was excited to see. He said all but Goddessa and Araga. His issue with Goddessa was that she wanted to lead without leadership skills and would repackage others' ideas as her own. Sheba pushed back, saying he could simply say he doesn't like her, and that opinion isn't the same as truth.
Sheba recounted yesterday’s Independence Day celebration, saying it was so good that she felt emotional and ranked it among her top three highlights. The duo also chatted about the Arena Games, with Ricky saying he wasn't trying to win anything because the show was over for him. Sheba, however, hoped to win.
