The eviction followed a tense week. Housemates were given special powers. Specifically, they could save three fellow contestants. The four housemates with the most saves were safe. However, Head of House Sheba used her privilege. She rescued Chimsom Chuka from eviction. Consequently, she replaced him with Cassi. Cassi had originally been among the top four.

Housemates Granted Immunity

As a result, four housemates secured immunity. These were Tram, Barry, Goddessa, and Chimsom. Meanwhile, the remaining 19 housemates were at risk. Martins and Mercedes ultimately received the lowest votes. Consequently, they were sent packing.
