Big Brother Naija Season 10 shocked its audience on Saturday night as Thelma Lawson and Bright “Morgan” Mbata became the latest housemates to leave Biggie’s house, an unexpected twist that has thrown the competition into even sharper focus with just weeks to the finale.
A Surprise Move After the Party
The drama unfolded shortly after the weekly Saturday night party when longtime host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu entered the house unexpectedly. In a move that defied the show’s usual rhythm, he announced an immediate double eviction—marking the first Saturday eviction of the season. According to Channels Television, viewers and contestants alike were caught off guard, with many initially suspecting a “fake eviction,” a strategy Biggie has occasionally deployed to build suspense.
Thelma was the first name called, visibly emotional as she embraced her fellow housemates. Moments later, Bright Morgan was asked to leave, prompting stunned silence before his friends rallied to send him off.
Why It Matters
Traditionally, BBNaija evictions take place during the Sunday live shows, giving housemates and fans time to speculate about who might be next. Saturday’s surprise changed that rhythm entirely, reminding contestants that Biggie’s rules can change at any moment. The departure of Thelma and Bright reduces the number of contenders to 15, amplifying the pressure for the coveted ₦150 million prize.
House Reactions and Social Buzz
Inside the house, the atmosphere shifted from party vibes to palpable tension. Bright’s budding romance with Mide brought emotional farewells, while Kaybobo, who had grown close to Thelma, appeared especially shaken. Ebuka reminded the remaining housemates that “nobody is safe” and urged them to sharpen their strategies as the finale nears.
Online, the double eviction sparked a wave of reactions. On X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, hashtags like #BBNaijaShockSaturday and #ThelmaAndBright trended for hours. Some fans expressed heartbreak over losing two entertaining personalities, while others applauded the show’s producers for keeping the game unpredictable.
What’s Next
With only a few weeks left, the rare Saturday eviction has redefined the stakes. Alliances may shift, strategies will tighten, and every move inside the house will be scrutinized more than ever. As BBNaija Season 10 barrels toward its climax, viewers are bracing for even more curveballs from Biggie.
