Every week on Big Brother Naija Season 10, twists and surprises keep millions of viewers across Nigeria, Ghana, and the wider African continent glued to their screens. But few moments generate as much talk as when housemates are asked to reflect on which evicted contestants they miss most — and who they would bring back if given the power. This past Wednesday, deep emotions and unforgettable alliances were uncovered during the Diary Session, where housemates spoke candidly about the absence of familiar faces and the impact of past evictions on their strategies and mental states.
For passionate fans of Nigerian reality TV and pop culture, social media has been buzzing with speculations, memes, and debates about “who deserves a second chance.” Those conversations mirror the ones going on inside the famous house, as contestants weigh their personal bonds against the need to outwit, outlast, and outshine one another in the chase for the N120 million grand prize.
During this week’s Diary Session, Big Brother asked each housemate to reveal which evicted participant they’d welcome back into the competition, and why. Their responses revealed the emotional complexity of life under the constant gaze of cameras — a blend of unresolved partnerships, cherished friendships, and heartfelt regret.
Mide, whose journey on the show has had its share of ups and downs, pointed to Dede as the housemate she’d most like to see return. Although their relationship in the house was, in her words, “not always rosy,” Mide confessed that the circumstances of Dede’s exit still didn’t sit right with her. A sense of unfinished business lingers, with Mide expressing, “Sometimes you need a second chance to show who you really are.”
Faith, on the other hand, couldn’t hide the fondness in her voice when she mentioned Joanna. “Joanna brought out a lighter side in me,” Faith shared, reminiscing about their night-time chats and shared laughter that once filled the house. Their connection stood out as one of the season’s heartfelt friendships — a reminder that beneath the strategic plotting and competitions, true bonds are often forged.
Jason Jae didn’t hesitate when it was his turn, naming Rooboy as the presence he feels most deeply. Rooboy, known for his magnetic energy and outspoken charisma, had become a source of support for Jason Jae in the early weeks. “There’s a kind of comfort only your guy can bring,” Jason Jae remarked, adding that Rooboy’s absence changed the very mood of daily life in the house.
Denari’s answer reinforced how alliances in Big Brother Naija often go beyond mere convenience. He selected Doris, highlighting how their game plans were abruptly interrupted by her eviction. “We had mapped out something big together. Sometimes, you just want to see how far a partnership can go,” Denari confessed. In a game where trust is currency, such alliances can change destinies.
Zita, moving from playful to bittersweet, named Danboskid as the contestant she misses most. With a smile, she called him her “baby,” sharing that their relationship was just beginning to blossom before his early departure. “Another week, who knows what we could have been?” Zita wondered, a sentiment that resonates with every fan who’s ever rooted for a genuine connection on the show.
For Sultana, making a choice proved even more complicated. Torn between Danboskid and Rooboy, she shared how both guys hold a “soft spot” in her heart but for very different reasons. While Danboskid, she explained, was a confidant and special companion, Rooboy’s relentless high spirits made him “the engine of every party.” Sultana admitted that sometimes the house just feels too quiet without their laughter and banter.
The collective reflections of the contestants shed light on a vital dynamic of the Big Brother experience — the way personal relationships and unfinished storylines continue to shape strategies and emotions, long after a housemate walks out of those famous doors. In the house, someone’s absence can change everything: friend groups shift, alliances weaken, and memories linger like the warm Lagos harmattan breeze.
It’s worth noting that the drama on Big Brother Naija is rarely what it seems on the surface. This year, following a now-legendary red phone call from the ever-charismatic host Ebuka-Obi Uchendu, Dede, Joanna, and Rooboy were told to leave the house. The tense moment sent shockwaves through the house, leaving the remaining contestants (and viewers at home) believing their friends had been permanently evicted.
However, unknown to the remaining housemates, those three ‘evictees’ have been living large in a secret room, complete with luxurious comforts and a screen to monitor everything happening back in the main house. This jaw-dropping twist has only added to the suspense, with fans on Twitter and Instagram spinning conspiracy theories about how — and when — Dede, Joanna, and Rooboy could make a dramatic return to the spotlight.
From Lagos to Accra, Abuja to Kumasi, viewers continue to debate which housemate’s return would shake up the game the most. Would Dede come back with unfinished business and renewed determination? Could Joanna pick up where she left off with Faith? Or would Rooboy’s reappearance turn up the energy with his signature style, sparking new alliances and rivalries?
Across WhatsApp groups, roadside bukas, and even office tea breaks, fans discuss what these choices say about the future of the show: Will old bonds reconnect, or have the remaining housemates learned too much to trust again? What does it mean for their strategies and the season’s unpredictable unfolding?
As the season continues, one thing is certain: the bond between Big Brother Naija and its viewers keeps growing stronger. Whether you are Team Dede, rooting for Joanna, or can’t get enough of Rooboy’s antics, your voice matters in shaping how this story unfolds. Who do you think would make the biggest impact if they returned to the house? Which relationships do you believe deserve a ‘second chance’?
