As Big Brother Naija Season 10 barrels toward its finale with alliances fracturing and votes flying, evicted housemate Denari has ignited a fresh firestorm on social media. In a candid diary session clip that’s racked up millions of views overnight, the controversial strategist revealed his predicted top 5 finalists, crowning Imisi as the undisputed queen while shading the competition. “Imisi is acting like his bodyguard and he called her his personal chef,” Denari quipped to Biggie about her dynamic with another housemate, before dropping the list that has fans divided.
The rankings, shared in a viral video circulating on X, read like a who’s who of the season’s most polarizing players:
1. Thelma Lawson – The fiery Head of House who owns her role as a divider, not a unifier. Denari’s nod to her fifth spot acknowledges her bold clashes, from shaming Imisi over gossip to raging at Rooboy over romantic “strategies,” but hints she’s too explosive for the long haul.
2. Rooboy (Kayode Olatunde) – The outspoken kitchen enforcer and self-confessed ladies’ man, whose immunity wins and beefs with Thelma have kept him in the spotlight. Denari sees potential in his unfiltered energy, but Rooboy’s recent Secret Room stint might shake things up.
3. Isabella – The independent cook at the heart of the season’s epic food wars, trading barbs with Thelma (calling her a “transgender” in one heated exchange) and standing firm against group meal pressures. Her solo vibes and rumored closeness to Koyin earn her a podium finish in Denari’s eyes.
4. Faith – The dethroned HoH and “fake doctor” drag-ee, whose age-shaming spat with Soso and open labeling of Imisi as a “threat” have painted him as a strategic wildcard. Denari ranks him high for his persistence, but Faith’s bottom-three scares suggest voters might not agree.
5. Imisi (Opeyemi Ayanwale) – Topping the list is the multi-crush queen, whose “Speak English” viral moment and refusal to conform in kitchen duties have made her a fan favorite. From hiding spoons amid alcohol disputes to dodging “anglerfish” and “Dracula” jabs on the live show, Imisi’s bodyguard-like loyalty and chef skills seal her as Denari’s winner – a bold pick echoed in early task triumphs alongside Faith, Bright, and Isabella.
Denari, who exited last weekend in a double eviction alongside Tracy, didn’t hold back on his rationale during the session. He initially rattled off a broader pool including Rooboy, Imisi, Doris, Thelma, and Isabella, but zeroed in on Imisi as the one to beat, praising her as a “personal chef” in housemate dynamics. The clip, first shared by fans on X, has sparked a frenzy: “Denari’s list is spot on – Imisi all the way!” cheered one user, while another fumed, “Where’s Bright or Kaybobo? This man evicted and still strategizing!”
The timing couldn’t be more dramatic. With Week 7’s evictions fresh – Denari and Tracy out, Thelma clinching HoH over Faith, and Rooboy safe in the Secret Room twist – Denari’s prophecy arrives as the house teeters on more drama. Imisi’s beefs with Thelma over drinks and Faith’s subtle shade have only amplified her underdog glow, while Isabella’s feud resurgences keep the pot boiling. Fans are already polling on X: Do you buy Denari’s vision, or is it eviction bitterness talking?
As BBNaija S10’s “10/10: The Perfect Match” theme unravels with ships sinking and silent beefs erupting, Denari’s list is the latest fuel for the fire. With the finale looming, one thing’s clear: Imisi’s chef hat might just crown her the ultimate victor – or land her in more crossfire. Stay tuned, Naija – the votes are in, but the discourse is eternal.
