M-Net Africa has announced that the sixth season of its reality show, ‘Big Brother Africa', would commence on Sunday, May 1, 2011. Tagged ‘Big Brother Amplified', the show will run for 91 days and attracts a grand prize of $200, 000.
M-Net's Director, Biola Alabi, attempted an explanation of the theme this way on its website. ‘‘By definition, amplified means to increase the volume, to make louder, to make more powerful. And that's exactly what we want to do with season six.
To take the elements that audiences find so fantastic and present them in a refreshing new way while adding big surprises and entertaining twists. Amplified is such a well-known pop culture term and Big Brother has definitely become a pop culture success. So the name fits perfectly." Alabi added that, "We received an unprecedented amount of entries this year. It's been truly phenomenal, with almost 7000 written entries received from across the continent and countless more people attending the ‘last chance' open auditions.
We've had people from all walks of life from very different backgrounds with completely different aspirations ...all take this one opportunity to enter Big Brother.
It's really heartening to see that if anything, the show is going from strength to strength." Created and produced for M-Net by Endemol South Africa, the series will be hosted by Nigerian presenter, IK Osakioduwa.
