Each housemate had to nominate two of their fellow housemates for possible eviction but that was quickly watered down when Biggie announced the sudden turn of events.

Head of House Mich enjoys immunity from eviction this week. Immunity is extended to Sammy_M as the Eye of Immunity winner, and Fahima, Neo, and Taki as the season’s disruptors.

Voting is now open and it will close on Thursday.

Big Brother Titans is here: This is everything you need to know about the show #BigBrotherTitans

With Big Brother, Titans, the latest season of the African version of the Banijay reality TV format, starting tonight on DStv with contestants from South Africa and Nigeria, here are 11 things to know about and watch out for this season.

Culture clash?
There are always fights between the housemates in every season, as has been the case with Big Brother Naija and Big Brother Mzansi, and Big Brother Titans will definitely be no different.

The contestants stepping into the Big Brother Titans house will be a composition of people from two very different African countries: South Africa and Nigeria, coming from two very different cultures. Like a Game of Thrones reality show, those in the “North” will battle those in the “South”… but also each other on their own and by teaming up through alliances and romances.

Nomsa Philiso, MultiChoice CEO for general entertainment, says Big Brother Titans “promises an abundance of South African and Nigerian swag, banter, romance, and everything in-between”.

How to watch it?
Big Brother Titans will premiere with a 2-hour, 15-minute show on Sunday, 15 January at 20:00, simulcast on M-Net’s Mzansi Magic (DStv 161), Mzansi Wethu (DStv 163), Africa Magic Urban (DStv 153) and Africa Magic Family (DStv 154) channels, with M-Net and MultiChoice also running a Big Brother Titans pop-up channel on channel 198 for the duration of the season.

Live shows will also be on Mzansi Magic on Sunday nights.

The show will run for 12 weeks until April, with the winner getting $100 000 (R1.68 million) after the 72 days. DStv subscribers will be voting to keep their favourite housemates in the show. The winner will be determined by votes from across Africa.

Sunday night evictions
DStv subscribers will see the live eviction of a housemate(s) on Sunday nights. During the week, Biggie will announce who is up for eviction and on Sunday nights, the co-hosts will announce who will be walking the proverbial plank out of the camera-filled studio dorm.

Dedicated watch blocks
Besides the Sunday night evictions, Big Brother Titans will also retain the other dedicated programming events. Busola Tejumola, MultiChoice Nigeria’s head of content, says DStv subscribers will also be “enjoying special Biggie diary sessions, Head of House games, Friday night parties and tasks”.

Co-hosts
Speaking of co-hosts, Big Brother Titans will have two co-hosts. Lawrence Maleka is the host from South Africa, and Ebuka Obi-Uchendu is the host of Big Brother Naija. Look out to see how they work together and what the banter and on-screen presenter chemistry is like between them.

Your wait is over! The #BBTitans housemates will be making their way into the house tonight! Tune in at 20:00 CAT / 19:00 WAT for the start of this season's trouble. pic.twitter.com/WePygHqiCS

No shower hour
Clamping down on the degree of nudity this season, there will be no “shower hour”. MultiChoice says DStv subscribers didn’t like the shower hour. It doesn’t mean the show will be without titillation and salacious content – Big Brother Titans does carry an age restriction of R18, and DStv decoders with a parental lock will block the show where this age restriction is set.

Showmax
MultiChoice’s video streaming service Showmax will also carry Big Brother Titans. There’s no word yet on what additional content Showmax will carry, which it did in previous seasons of Big Brother Naija, but according to MultiChoice, the reality show will stream and be accessible on Showmax in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and 45 countries across sub-Saharan Africa.

Biggie’s house
The housemates will all be in Johannesburg, similar to Big Brother Mzansi, with the producers making use of filming facilities in South Africa and with generators to prevent the show from cutting out due to load shedding. The interior look and design of the house have been kept a secret, with no inside images released this season beforehand to the media as a “sneak peek”.

During its illustrious history, Big Brother has broken borders – and #BBTitans, starting Sunday at 19:00 WAT on @GOtvNg and 20:00 CAT on @DStv, is the latest in line. ????

How many housemates?
How many housemates will enter the house? We don’t know. Don’t be fooled by the number of people entering the house on Sunday night. Besides the initial number of South Africans and Nigerians entering Big Brother Titans on Sunday, the show is set to add some more after a few days, similar to previous seasons – and unbeknown to the existing housemates, some of them could be “fake housemates” who get to stay if they’re not caught out, or instructed to be “spies”, or to infiltrate existing relationships.

Disqualification
It will be interesting to see whether Big Brother Titans contestants complete the season without any disqualifications because of broken rules. Virtually every Big Brother Naija and Big Brother Mzansi season have seen contestants getting disqualified or contestants choosing to leave for “personal reasons”. In the last Big Brother Mzansi season in 2022, a contestant left after just 48 hours. In the latest Big Brother Naija season in 2022, a contestant was disqualified over wig-ripping.

Titans title
Why Big Brother Titans? It refers to South Africa and Nigeria being the two biggest economies on the African continent. John Ugbe, MultiChoice Nigeria CEO, says Big Brother Titans is a special edition” of the reality series: “A fusion of two TV phenomena – Big Brother Naija and Big Brother Mzansi. We are bringing housemates from two giant nations – Nigeria and South Africa, under one roof to give African entertainment audiences intense drama like never before”.

Big Brother Mzansi prize money announced

The prize money for the return of the Big brother Mzansi Reality Show has been announced and it’s huge. The housemates in Big Brother’s house will battle for the biggest prize money ever.

The show will be broadcast across the African continent to increase its reach and appeal on the market.

While the Big Brother Mzansi Season 3 auditions have officially closed, you may be interested in auditioning in season four. The show revealed they look for authentic individuals who are willing to divulge their private thoughts to strangers without feeling ashamed of themselves. The contestants must be able to live for a hundred days in a camera-filled house and unusual conditions.

While in Season four the show might propose other different methods of auditioning, season three saw would be housemates filling a form with their details and making a two-minute video explaining why they would be the perfect housemates.

The show producers urged contestants to be ‘real’ in their auditioning, other than trying to impress the judges with their dressing or acting skills. Contestants must also be true to themselves when they fill the form writing their personal information such as career, hobbies, education, parents and other personal details.

Season three is currently on the vetting stage and contestants who made it to the interviews stage will be notified no later than 28 November.

Where are the contestants of the previous season? Chelsea, the woman known to be loud is now living a quiet life. She is working as a restaurant manager in Qatar. She was Mbali Nkosi’s partner.

Matthias Matthee, the businessman from Cape Town known to live a quiet life is now a leather artisan. She also shaved his famous dreadlocks.

The joint winners Ntombi and her husband Ace were busted for drug possession, but have since disappeared from the public eye.

The prize money for Big Brother Mzansi season 3 has been announced as R 2 million. Contestants will be fighting to put their hands on the life-changing prize money.

Big Brother Mzansi set to replace Idols SA on Mzansi Magic

We can all agree that Idols SA has been making all sorts of headlines of late. With season 17 finally coming to an end, the musical competition has once again hogged the headlines. Yes, Idols SA will be returning for season 18, but where will it be aired on?

The show sees its contract being renewed despite a slump in numbers this season. The show’s rating declined after Somizi was fired from the Judge’s panellist pending abuse allegations investigations.

Its season finale is slated for Sunday, 21 November, where Berry and Karabo will battle it for honours. However, in the mix of things, rumour has it that the show might lose its slot to Big Brother Mzansi.

In the wake of this, no official news statement has been released in regards to the matter. Well, close sources to the publication show that season 18 might not be aired on channel 161 as Big Brother is set to take that 17.00-hour slot. Sources have it that its time clashes with the elimination reality show. However, the showrunners are hoping to air it on channel 161 for a wider audience.

Despite that, according to several publications Idols, SA has to clean up its mess before its return. In the wake of Somizi exit, the show is yet to add another permanent panellist. Their first shot at luring Kelly Khumalo went south as the seasoned personality turned down the offer because of her friendship with Somizi.

The showrunners were forced to go back on the drawing board to look for another replacement, and the return of Big Brother Mzansi worsened its woes.

Multichoice made all sorts of headlines when it revealed that it was working to bring back Big Brother Mzansi. However, in the mix of things, it did confirm that the reality show was heading back to our small screens. No doubt Mzansi was more than puzzled, and big names in the entertainment industry vowed to participate in the big money reality show. South African adult films star Xolisile Mfeka is one of those willing to join the performances.

Given that it was one of the most-watched shows, the showrunners are opting for Idols SA time slot. Given this development, the singing competition will have to find another slot, perhaps with the channel too?

After begging the channel to bring it back, MultiChoice has decided to heed the call and we hope that the new season will be a huge success. In a statement they said the show promises to be as exciting and action as ever.

In 2016, the couple was in the news for the wrong reasons, as they were charged with drug possession and they disappeared from the media spotlight. In 2016 they also welcomed their second child. They celebrated their 10 year anniversary in 2020 and Ntombi took to her Instagram account to celebrate the milestone. “10 YEARS TOGETHER. I’M STILL HAPPY WITH YOU AND I LOVE U SO MUCH,” she shared.

A year before them, Mandla and Lexi bagged the 1 million rand winning prize on the show. They also had their own reality show Mandla and Lexi but they fell off the radar. The couple has two children and one of them recently celebrated his birthday. Mandla took to his Instagram account to pen a heartfelt birthday message to his son and it melted the hearts of many people.

“A lot of parents go through sleepless nights with newborns but you were and still are nothing but a happy kid our rainbow that came after many storms…

You and your brother make me want to be a better father Not just an ATM but holistic in my approach, a father who is as concerned with your financial well being asas he is about your mental state…

You have brought your mom and I closer in ways I never thought possible…just as you’ve also brought me closer to with my siblings and the rest of the family,” he said.
