The Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemates breathed a collective sigh of relief as they learnt that no one would be evicted from the show in the first week.
During the live eviction show on Sunday, host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu eased the tension in the house as he announced that all 29 housemates were safe for now.
“You’re all safe this week,” Ebuka said with a laugh.
Earlier in the week, Biggie had instructed housemates to confidentially nominate two fellow contestants for possible eviction.
Unbeknown to the housemates, it was only a strategy designed to stir emotions and create drama.
However, Jason Jae, the current Head of House, was exempted from nomination, having won and successfully defended his title in the HoH challenge.
The uncertainty surrounding the fake eviction process kept emotions running high, with many housemates visibly anxious about their fate.
As the reality of the announcement set in, the house erupted in celebration, with housemates hugging and thanking each other for the second chance to solidify their presence and connect with the audience.
