It’s the night we have all been looking forward to for months now. The blogosphere has been buzzing non-stop about who the housemates would be and what Biggie is planning for them. Well, tonight, we finally got to find out.
Big Brother is an international television format that features a number of contestants living in an isolated house, while trying to avoid being evicted, and ultimately winning a large cash prize following a set number of days in confinement. Seven years on, Big Brother Africa has become increasingly popular with each year due to the fact that the excitement, competitions, and housemates drama made for very good television. Former housemates have garnered instant fame and each year, we just can’t wait to see what BBA has in store for them.
The year’s edition of the show would be hosted for the fourth time by IK Osakioduwa who expressed his anticipation as to what the competition will bring.
“People always fall in love on Big Brother so it will be nice to see how that works out.”, he says.
