Source inform that
followers of Africa’s
biggest TV reality show,
Big Brother Africa (BBA),
might be in for a new
thrill with the return of
the controversial shower
hour, which will be subject
to the subscribers’ choice.
The 5th BBA will
commence immediately
after the 2010 World Cup
fiesta is over with the
golden prize of USD
200,000 once again up for
grabs.
Speaking on the coming
event, M-Net ’s Africa
Managing Director, Biola
Alabi, said, “What a great
moment this is- to bring
back a show that our
audience loves for an
incredible 5th time.
We wanted Season 4 (Big Brother Revolution) to be
special, but it exceeded
our hopes.
With the
volume of interactions the
show received from fans,
it was clear that Season 5
was definitely on the
cards.
So, we’ve been
developing what we
believe will be thrilling
new format changes. ”
This new season will begin
on July 18, and will be
screened live for 91 days
on DStv Channel 198 for
DStv Premium and
Compact subscribers.
She
further said, “We want to
invest more broadly in
Season 5.
And having
already been introduced
to a world of interesting
characters from previous
searches, there ’s limited
value in spending
extensively in another
search for contestants.
We ’ll still be looking for
entertaining persons with
a sense of humor, a love
of adventure and the
ability to enjoy the very
exciting Big Brother
experience. In the past,
we’ve spent widely to find
contestants in 14
countries.
This year, we’re
using these funds to
develop a gutsy new
series, recreating the
house in a very different
way and focusing on
putting new technology
into place.”
