WITH two days left before Big Brother Mzansi (BBM) hits television screens, producers of the show — Endemol South Africa and Mzansi Magic have announced the tagline as “Double Trouble”. In keeping with the tagline, the series which is now in its second edition will have a double launch on Sunday and Monday evening.
“There’ll be two launch nights this time around, and unknown to them, Housemates will enter the House on both nights. This means that there’re two launch shows, each running one hour. The first launch kicks off at 8PM on Sunday, and the second at 7.30PM on Monday,” organisers said in a statement.
Both launch shows will be screened live on Mzansi Magic (DStv channel 161). The series will also be screened live 24/7 on DStv channels 197 and 198.
“What will happen on both nights is anyone’s guess! This year Biggie asked wannabe Housemates to enter either as pairs or individuals so he’s definitely cooking up something and knowing the man of mystery, it’s definitely going to be something completely unexpected. . .”
BBM Housemates will spend 56 days in the House, battling to be the last man standing. The winner will walk away with nothing less than R1 million.
“Don’t forget the whopping R2 million prize money on the show is still a secret and the only clue is that it won’t be less than R1 million,” said the statement.
The newly revamped Big Brother house will be screened live 24/7 and is covered by no less than 44 cameras. Spacious, airy and very accommodating, the house features a large garden, bathroom, diary room, storeroom, indoor arena, three bedrooms, lounge area and a fully functional kitchen.
“The look of the house is a fusion of clean contemporary lines in the furniture with modern bright wallpapers, showcasing a bold, retro, playful and youthful interior in keeping with the open plan, flowing architecture of the space.”
The inaugural Big Brother Mzansi: Secrets last year was won by Spaza shop owner, Mandla Hlatshwayo.
