The immediate past winner, Decided 6th December 2009, Kevin Pam from Plateau State, Nigeria will go down as the BBA King with the shortest reign. He would resign for just about 10 months compared to his other predecessors who reigned for about two years.
With the star prize of $200,000 up for grabs once more, Big Brother fans in over 40 countries across the continent are going to get a show that’s more edgy, more tactically challenging and more intensely strategic than ever, M-Net organizers of the show, 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 interaction 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,” Biola Alabi, M-Net Africa Managing Director, said.
Season five breaks from the traditional format of housemates being selected through entries. Selection of housemates wouldn’t be open but M-Net would choose from previous applicants who didn’t scale the screening.
According to her, “We’ll still be looking for entertaining persons with a sense of humour, a love of adventure and the ability to enjoy the very exciting Big Brother experience.”
One technological change already in place is that this year, DStv channel 198 will feature two television feeds so audiences can choose to move from one BIG BROTHER feed to another. At any one time there will be two streams of video and audio coming out of the house and audiences can simply pick the one that they wish to watch.
