M-Net and production company Endemol South Africa is bringing the voyeuristic reality show Big Brother Africa back for a 7th season in May 2012, with entries for potential contestants that will open soon for the show the pay broadcaster refer to as ''a high demand property''.
''This show is definitely a high demand property that draws and holds audiences from start to finish,'' says Biola Alabi, M-Net Africa managing director. ''While the basics are the same, every season is different from the last. Re-invention is crucial so I am very pleased to confirm that this year we're doing something that has never been done before in the history of Big Brother Africa!'' she says.
''Big Brother Africa remains relevant because it constantly surprises audiences with everything from two houses, more housemates, unexpected guests and new participating countries to unveiling two winners, an All Star reunion, super star performers and the list goes on. So to be able to say that we're doing something that has never been done before in Big Brother Africa is wonderful.''
''We look forward to surprising and entertaining Africa's viewers with more twists and turns that have seen this compelling format continue to succeed on the continent as it has around the world,'' says Sivan Pillay, Endemol South Africa's managing director. Endemol is the format owner and producer of the reality show.
The seventh season of Big Brother Africa will again last for 91 consecutive days, or three months, and this season there will only be one winner. The show is seen in 47 coutries throughout Africa and remains a strong driver of DStv pay TV uptake in Africa. According to M-Net entries for prospective contestants for the house will open soon.
