The Big Brother Naija Season 10 house lost two more contenders on Sunday as Arinze “Denari” Ekwenme and Uchenna “Tracy” Ekwe were shown the door after seven weeks of drama.

Speaking after his eviction, Denari reflected on his time in the house, admitting that it was “not easy” but calling his survival of seven weeks a “personal achievement.” 

He stated that his bond with Doris, evicted the previous week, was genuine. The 27-year-old, who also celebrated his birthday while in the house, stood out for his acting skills, singing, and performances during weekly tasks.

Tracy described her stay and experience as “amazing,” saying she enjoyed every moment despite the highs and lows. She revealed her closest friendship was with Zita, describing her as “a safe space.” Earlier in the season, Tracy made a mark by winning Head of House in Week Three.

Meanwhile, voting results independently verified by Deloitte for M-Net showed Tracy had 2.23%, Denari 1.42%, while Bright Morgan narrowly escaped with 2.78%. Their exit leaves 17 housemates competing for the ₦150 million prize, down from the opening 29.

Host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu announced Faith Adewale safe from eviction and indicated that the 25-year-old doctor was voted ‘Most Influential Player of the Week’ for the second time. 

Ebuka added drama as always to the show, calling out Thelma for “dividing the house” as Head of House and criticised the unimpressive wager task, to which she replied she wasn’t there “to unite anyone or make friends.”

This week’s eviction followed the earlier departures, including Danboskid, Ibifubara, and Sabrina, who left voluntarily due to personal reasons. Otega and Kayikunmi, along with Victory and Gigi Jasmine, also exited recently. Notably, last week’s triple eviction saw the exit of Big Soso, Ivatar, and Doris.

The twist also saw Dede, Joanna, and Rooboy rejoin the house after a fake eviction.

With Denari and Tracy out, the intensity in the house and the competition increase for the battle for the ₦150 million grand prize.
