Jason Jae has made history by becoming the first Head of House (HOH) in the tenth season of Big Brother Naija following a challenging three-part contest held after the second part of the launch show on July 27, 2025.
The competition, tagged 'Sense of Peace,' was designed to test the 29 housemates on their speed, strength, and mental agility as they began their journey in the popular reality show.
Three-Phase Challenge Tests Housemates' Abilities
The contest began with a Block Stacking Challenge where contestants had to recreate specific patterns using wooden blocks. Only eight housemates advanced to the next round: Jason Jae, Thelma Lawson, Bright Morgan, Victory, Tracy, Joanna, Sultana, and Gigi.
In the second phase, the Goldbar Collection, housemates worked in pairs to collect gold bars. Four contestants emerged victorious from this round: Jason Jae, Joanna, Bright Morgan, and Sultana.
The final and most challenging phase was the Treasure Challenge Box, which required finalists to unlock a box using a single key. Jason Jae demonstrated superior skill and strategy, securing the top position and earning the coveted title of Head of House.
Strategic Advantage and Privileges
Winning the HOH title grants Jason Jae significant strategic advantages in the game, though the full extent of these benefits has yet to be revealed by Big Brother.
In his first official decision as Head of House, Jason Jae selected Doris to share the HOH lounge privileges with him, a choice that may influence house dynamics in the coming week.
This season of BBNaija promises to be exciting, with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu returning as host. Earlier, he had warned housemates about a new rule prohibiting sleeping for the first two hours after entering the house, setting the tone for what appears to be a season full of unexpected twists.
The tenth season features 29 housemates competing for the grand prize, with early interactions already generating interest among viewers. Notable moments include Dede turning down a hug from Jason Jae, and Zita revealing her standards for a romantic partner in the house.
