Three Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemates; Rooboy, Dede, and Joanna, have re-entered the house after being “evicted” through the controversial red phone twist.
The trio spent two days in a secret room, where their activities were broadcast to viewers, in line with Big Brother’s surprise twist format. Their initial exit on Monday stunned housemates, with host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu announcing the evictions after Biggie’s countdown.
Rooboy, Dede, and Joanna’s return on Wednesday night followed the Travelbeta task, bringing excitement and easing the tension that had built in the house. Joanna declared she would stay until the final day, while Rooboy made a dramatic impact with his re-entry. Fellow housemate Sultana admitted she had suspected their comeback.
The red phone twist, a recurring BBNaija tactic, instructs housemates to take sudden actions—often leading to evictions or punishments. In this season, Dede answered the call first, chose Joanna, and both were declared evicted. Rooboy followed and was asked to leave immediately.
Past seasons have used similar “fake evictions,” sending housemates to secret rooms while fans watch, creating drama and shifting house dynamics upon their return.
