Thelma Lawson has emerged as the new Head of House on Big Brother Naija Season 10 after winning the Monday challenger game, dethroning Faith barely 24 hours after his initial announcement as HoH.
The dramatic twist, introduced as part of Big Brother’s evolving game format, saw Thelma Lawson outplay other contenders to seize control of the house for the new week.
Thelma, who previously held the HoH title briefly in Week 2, joined the league of females to officially secure the position this season.
As part of her new powers, Thelma Lawson selected Mide as both her deputy and house guest.
Both Thelma Lawson and Mide will now share the HOH lounge.
The contest began with Faith, Koyin, Jason Jae, Kaybobo, Bright Morgan, and Thelma competing for the crown.
After the first round, Koyin, Bright, Faith, and Thelma advanced to the final stage.
It was there that Thelma outperformed her rivals to clinch the HoH seat.
Faith had entered the games as the Interim HoH, a title he earned last week after defeating Koyin and Kuture.
His brief reign after previous HoH win last week saw him choose Joanna as his guest in the lounge, a decision that generated some buzz among housemates.
His tenure, however, was cut short as Thelma dethroned him during Monday’s showdown.
With the win, Thelma Lawson secures full immunity from nominations, exclusive access to the HOH room, and the authority to steer house dynamics throughout the week.
Recall, Mensan was named as Snail of the House on Sunday.
Also, Jason Jae and Tracy made history as the first housemates to successfully defend the HOH title under Big Brother’s newly introduced twist.
