Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) Season 10 delivered another dramatic twist on Saturday night as housemates Thelma Lawson and Bright Morgan were evicted in a surprise double eviction.
The eviction, which took place shortly after the housemates concluded their Saturday Night Party, was announced by the show’s host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, during an unannounced visit to the house.
His presence immediately raised suspicion among the housemates, who braced for an unexpected shake-up.
Ebuka, dressed in a crisp, casual look, informed the housemates that with only two weeks left before the grand finale, there was still enough time for them to make a difference in their game strategies.
Then came the big announcement, Thelma and Bright had been evicted and were required to leave the house immediately.
The eviction sent shockwaves through the house, leaving the remaining contestants visibly shaken. For some, the departure of their close friends proved difficult to process.

Mide, Bright Morgan’s in-house lover, broke down in tears as she struggled to come to terms with his sudden exit. The two had been one of the season’s most talked-about couples, with their relationship providing fans with memorable moments of love, laughter, and drama.
Similarly, Kaybobo, who had grown increasingly close to Thelma over the past few weeks, appeared deeply affected by her departure. He was seen sitting quietly, staring at the door long after she had left, while other housemates tried to console him.
Despite the emotional scenes, not all housemates were convinced the eviction was real. Kola, Rooboy, and Jason speculated that it might be part of a secret twist by Big Brother, suggesting that Thelma and Bright could be moved to a separate house or given a chance to return later.
“This might just be another Biggie prank,” Jason said, voicing the thoughts of several housemates who have grown wary of the show’s surprises. “We’ve seen people come back before.”
The surprise eviction marks a pivotal moment in the competition, as the show nears its highly anticipated finale. With only two weeks left, housemates are under pressure to strengthen alliances, win tasks, and secure their spots in the final.
Saturday night’s eviction also signals that Big Brother may have more twists in store for both the housemates and viewers, raising the stakes as the competition reaches its peak.
Fans have since taken to social media to react, with many expressing shock over Bright’s eviction, as he was considered one of the stronger contenders for the ₦120 million grand prize.
Others praised Ebuka’s dramatic delivery, calling it one of the most suspenseful eviction moments of the season.
As the countdown to the finale continues, viewers will be watching closely to see how the remaining housemates adjust to the absence of Thelma and Bright, and whether Big Brother has more surprises in store.
