Africa’s reality TV franchise, Big Brother, has announced calls for entries for a new special season to hold 2023.
John Ugbe, Chief Executive Officer, Multichoice Nigeria, in a statement on Thursday said that the season aptly called ‘Big Brother Titans’ would be a mix of Big Brother Naija and Big Brother Mzansi.
Ugbe said that this means auditions were open to Nigerians and South Africans, aged 21 and above.
“Auditions for Big Brother Titans, commences from October 6 to 22.
“All interested and eligible people must record a two-minute video of themselves stating why Big Brother should pick them to be a Big Brother Titan housemate.
“This video must then be uploaded to http://mnet.tv/bigbrothertitans and then contestants must fill out the online registration form,” he said.
Ugbe noted that Big Brother Titans would feature new contestants who must be Nigerian or South African citizens with valid means of identification.
Speaking about the fascinating twist of having a mash-up of BBNaija and BBMzansi, Ugbe said, “The long history of rich culture and talent shared by both countries will be brought to life through the Titan housemates in one house.
“I can only imagine the explosion of drama and intrigue that will ensue, so, imagine ‘Afrobeats’ meeting ‘Amapiano’; imagine the food and everything else that will be showcased; we think this will be quite exciting.
“We are excited about the special big brother season, and we will reveal more details at the right time sometime next year.
“If you think you have got what it takes to be Biggie’s next reality TV star, this message is for you.
