As preparations for this year’s edition of Big Brother Africa, the continent’s hit reality Television series begin, M-Net Africa, the show’s producers has pulled off another huge surprise. This season, entrants coming into the reality show’s house will have to double up to compete.
In a statement announcing the commencement of the season 7 of the show, Biola Alabi, M-Net Africa Managing Director, said in another bold change to the format of the show, anyone interested as a contestant must partner with another person to enter as a pair and both ready to take the journey of a lifetime together.
“In the past, we’ve seen a natural and continuous cross-over between individuals and their families, their friends. So this year, we decided to include that as part of the game. It will definitely make a dramatic addition to the series. So we urge people to enter and experience what will be a uniquely different Big Brother Africa. So whether you enter with your best friend, boyfriend, girlfriend, mom, dad, brother, sister, boss, husband, wife, neighbour, hairdresser, whomever… you must just make sure that you enter as a pair. And remember you may have to spend a long time with them in the house,” Alabi said.
She added that this season’s new cash prize has been upped to a whopping sum of $300 000, in addition to the admission of two new countries-Liberia and Sierra Leone-to the Big Brother house for the first time ever.
This time around, Ethiopia has bowed out of the game and Mozambique will take on a new role that will be announced at a later stage of the show.
“We are thrilled to be offering a huge, new $300,000 cash prize and to include two new countries that were chosen to participate based on their ongoing interest in the series and their growing DStv audiences,” Alabi explained, adding that
“While Ethiopia won’t have a housemate this year, we’ll look to include them and other non-housemate countries in other ways if the opportunity arises, as we do every season.
“We are and have always been proudly committed to making this a truly African show. And as for Mozambique, they will be included with a housemate – but that’s all we are saying at the moment.”
Realities gathered that to participate in this year’s show, hitting the screen on 6 May but starting with a registration on 5 February, entrants and their partners must be citizens from one of the following participating countries: Angola, Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Namibia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
