Big Brother Africa - the show that kept many glued to their television screens for roughly three months - is back.
All interested in trying their luck in being one of the 12 housemates, should prepare themselves as M-Net has already begun calling for entries for an unprecendented third series of its reality super series, Big Brother Africa 3. Aspirants should collect entry forms from the nearest MultiChoice office or log on to www.mnetafrica.com. The big question is: Who is eligible to enter? The good news is that this fun-filled reality television competition is open to everyone over the age of 21 who is a citizen of one of the 12 participating countries and in possession of a valid passport. The participating countries are: Angola, Botswana, Ghana, Malawi, Namibia, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. All prospective housemates should be fluent in English, fun-loving, vocal, creative, original, and articulate. Most importantly, they must be tolerant of views and lifestyle choices other than their own and must have the social flexibility to live in close proximity with others. The deadline is April 30.
"Once all entries have been received, a selection team will begin evaluating them and short-listing potential housemates, who will then undergo a series of medical and physical tests to check their suitability for show's tasks and challenges," M-Net explains.
The 12 individuals chosen after the selection process as Big Brother 3 housemates will have no contact with the outside world and will be watched throughout Africa on DStv's channel 198. Parents need not worry as all programming for Big Brother, including the 24/7 channel, will have restricted access through the parental guide functionality on the DStv decoder. For this season, Kabelo Ngakane will once again host the series, screened live from the Big Brother house in Johannesburg. Big Brother 3 is set to launch on August 24 with the finale scheduled for November 23.
On how the 12 participating countries were picked M-Net explained that the countries participating in Big Brother 3 were selected using two main criteria, that is their DStv subscriber base and the general response from audiences in these countries to Big Brother Africa in seasons one and two. After several rounds of voting one lucky housemate, who emerges the winner, will walk away with a whooping USD 100,000 (roughly P600, 000).
The Big Brother 2 prize was won by Tanzania's Richard Bezuidenhout.
