Can Big Brother Naija ever stop surprising us? When fans thought they had seen it all, Season 10 delivers a never-before-seen twist — a Top 10 finalists lineup. For the first time in the show’s history, ten housemates will battle for the crown, and the internet is already split between excitement and suspicion.
The Bbnaija Top 10 Official Finalists
The final ten are Dede, Faith, Imisi, Isabella, Jason Jae, Kaybobo, Kola, Koyin, Mensan, and Sultana. These names now carry the weight of millions of fan votes and Biggie’s twists. But honestly, is this the strongest lineup we could have had, or did some heavyweights leave too soon?
A Historic First for BBNaija
BBNaija has never ended with this many finalists. Normally, the finale stage holds about five or six housemates. So why ten this season? Some viewers see it as Biggie giving more people a chance. Others argue it is a strategy to stretch the drama and keep fans glued. As one user put it, “Ten finalists? Abeg, this looks like Biggie is running a football squad, not a reality show.”
Fans React with Shock and Suspicion
Reactions online were instant and fiery. One fan tweeted, “I voted my fingers off for weeks only to get a crowded final lineup. So what was the point?” Another said, “This is genius! More finalists mean more entertainment. Stop crying and enjoy the show.”
The divide is clear: some viewers are thrilled by the twist, while others feel robbed after fan favourites like Zita, Mide, and Rooboy were sent packing.
Did Strategy or Favouritism Win?
Mensan secured his spot through the Most Influential Player award, Sultana clinched the Head of House, and Kaybobo controversially took the ₦10 million immunity deal. According to Premium Times and Punch, these moves secured their survival, but many argue they didn’t rely on sheer fan power.
So here’s the burning question: is this a game of strategy, or are the favourites simply being favoured?
A Bigger Cultural Conversation
The show may be about competition, but it also mirrors society’s highs and lows. From celebrity weddings that showcase glamour to mental health stories that highlight struggles, BBNaija sits at the heart of conversations shaping Nigerian pop culture. And this season’s controversial Top 10 twist will surely be remembered as a turning point.
So as we count down to the grand finale on Sunday 5 October live on Africa Magic Showcase (DStv 151) and Africa Magic Family (GOtv 49), Nigerians are left with one question: who truly deserves the crown — and who just slipped through the cracks?
