Smirnoff Ice’s challenge hit the BBNaija house this week, and true to the spirit of the brand, it turned into a full display of personality, mood, and self-expression. Here’s everything that happened and how each moment tied right back to the theme: Bolder With Ice.
The Merch Set the Tone Before a Single Game
Hoodies, jackets splashed with paint, matching pants and tees, all bearing “This is how we chill” across the back. Before the housemates even played a game, they were already living the brand’s message, showing up exactly as themselves, no limits attached.
Araga Took Self-Expression to a Whole New Level
He paired his outfit with a bandana so sharp. Tupac much?? You could have mistaken him for the legendary rap star. Bold, unbothered, and completely himself, exactly what the brand is about.
Broken Telephone Showed How Fast Energy Can Shift
Four housemates per team had to pass one message through completely different filters, from foil art to a blindfolded dress-up to a full dance leg. Yusuf’s iconic dance had zero rhythm and set the house into endless giggles, proof that even chaos has its own kind of charm. Back to the scores, Team Original led with 40 points, while Team Double Black followed with 30.
The Ice Throne Was Pure Fashion Freedom
No rules, just fabric, appliqué, scissors, and instinct. Team Original’s Flora walked out looking like she owned the runway for 20 points, while Team Double Black’s Oyin brought her own flavor for 10. Two completely different looks, both fully valid expressions of style.
The Memory Game Brought Was Mental
It was both thrilling and a brain tease. As they tested retention and recall, Barry stayed composed to score Double Black 10 points for this game, while Tram matched him with focused calm for 8, a reminder that personality shows up in stillness too.
Blue and Oyin Stole the Shadow Partner Round
Their duo’s chemistry in the mirror dance was top-notch and had the whole house buzzing; so in sync it looked almost rehearsed. Chimsom and Bells brought their own sharp energy for Team Original. Both teams tied at 10 points, but the real story was the friendship on display.
Everyone Showed Their Own Flavour
The Use Your Imagination round proved no two housemates express themselves the same way. For example, Keivo’s canvas took the round for Team Double Black with 20 points, while Abi held his own for Team Original with 10. Every brushstroke looked different because every housemate’s energy is different, exactly what Bolder with Ice celebrates.
And The Win Was Epic
Team Original came out on top for the day, but every single housemate left having shown a different side of themselves, playful, focused, stylish, and fully unapologetic. That’s what Bolder with Ice is really about: meeting every mood and every burst of energy exactly where it is.
House tasks are moments both BBN housemates and fans look forward to. This one was definitely a fun one
