But unlike previous editions, the BBA7 edition requires you to enter with a partner – same or opposite sex. You must Double-Up to compete says the rules. So you must look for a compatible pair. Call it BBA re-loaded if you like.

Thus, 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.

A staggering $300,000 (N48 million) is the winning prize. Of course, it’s still winner takes all.

Another change is the addition of two new countries, Liberia and Sierra Leone to the Big Brother House for the first time ever, while this time round, Ethiopia bows out of the game while Mozambique will take on a new role that will be announced at a later stage.

By this, entries are expected from Angola, Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Namibia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Both partners must come from the same country, must be 21 years or older, must be fluent in English and must have a valid passport. Interested persons can collect entry forms from the nearest MultiChoice office in their country anytime from February 5 or visit the M-net Africa website.

Commenting on the surprise turn of events, M-Net Africa Managing Director Biola Alabi says, “We are thrilled to be offering a huge, new, USD 300 000 prize and to include two new countries who were chosen to participate based on their ongoing interest in the series and their growing DStv audiences.  And 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!”
