Season 4

Big Brother Africa 3 is the third series of the Big Brother Africa reality television show produced by Endemol. The season began airing on 24 August 2008 and run 91 days ending 23 November 2008.

As with the previous series, the show involves 12 countries within Africa (Angola, Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia & Zimbabwe) each producing a contestant living in an isolated house in Johannesburg, South Africa, while trying to avoid being evicted by viewers and ultimately winning a large cash prize at the end of the show. The show is filmed in a house at Sasani Studios in Lyndhurst, Johannesburg. This season marks the closest vote in the history of the Big Brother series in Africa.

Production

The House

Architecturally, the House in this series of Big Brother was hardly unchanged from the previous one. The House was, however, completely revamped in the inside with brand new decor and an edgier look. The kitchen together with the dining area and the lounge had a Garden of Eden theme with artificial grass on the floor and green plants crawling on the surrounding walls. The bathroom, particularly the shower, had clocks all over the walls to create a feeling of paranoia - the clocks also did not work. The bedrooms were also switched from the previous season, meaning the girls had to sleep in the bedroom closer to the kitchen whilst the boys had to sleep in the bedroom closer to the bathroom. The House also boasted a large backyard, with the jacuzzi being replaced by an even bigger irregular-shaped pool, a Diary Room where the Housemates were strongly encouraged to voice their true opinions and feelings, and a Storeroom where most of the Housemates' belongings were kept.

Nominations

Each week housemates nominate two other housemates for eviction in the Diary Room and must give justified and clear reasons. [1] The Head of House may be nominated for eviction as well. After the nominees are revealed to the House, the current Head of House can save a nominee for eviction including themselves if they are nominated and replace the saved nominee with another nominee. While this is revealed to the viewers, the House does not know of the decision until eviction night Sunday. [2]

Voting

Each eviction week viewers in the 12 participating countries vote to eliminate a housemate they do not like. The majority for each country will be counted as a vote. [3] In addition to the 12 participating countries, all other countries not participating in the show can still vote for who they would like to eliminate. The "other countries" counts for the 13th vote. [4]

Head of House

The Head of House (or HOH) is a position in the house that gives one housemate each week special privileges over the other Housemates. It is a power similar to both the Head of Household and the Power of Veto used in the American, Brazilian and British version of Big Brother. During nominations, the Head of House can be nominated for eviction by their fellow housemates. Then the Head of House can choose to save a nominee or save themselves from eviction and nominate a new housemate for eviction. While the decision is released to the public, the House will not know of the decision until Sunday, eviction night. [2]

Swap with the Big Brother Finland house

Johan, from Finnish Big Brother season 4 swapped with Munya on the week 9.

Hero & Zero Vote

On Day 2, Housemates were asked to name 2 housemates one of which they would consider their "Hero" the person they would most like to live with for the full 91 days and one that they would consider a "Zero" the person that they thought deserved to leave the house as soon as possible. The first name they gave was that of their "hero" and the second name they gave was that of their "zero". These nominations did not count and no one was put up for the public vote.

Nominations Table

A record of the nominations cast, stored in a nominations table, shows how each Housemate nominated other Housemates throughout his or her time in the house. The Head of House can choose to save a nominated Housemate each week and nominate another Housemate to face the public vote. Twists to the normal nominations process are noted, such as immunity from nomination and eviction (referred to as "exempt").

Notes

  • ^1 On Day 8, Housemates were asked to nominate two housemates for eviction. These nominations did count and Morris and Thami were nominated for eviction but the eviction will be fake. The housemates were not told the nominations were fake. After the nominations were done, the housemates were told which housemates had received the highest number of votes.
  • ^2 On Day 21 there was a fake double eviction. The two housemates who have been evicted (Latoya and Tawana), have been sent to the big brother rubbish dump. On day 28, one of them will be evicted permanently, while the other will be returned to the house. The other housemates do not know that one of their housemates will be returning to them.
  • ^3 The Head of House Takondwa chose to save himself from nomination, and replace himself with Lucille.
  • ^4 The Head of House Takondwa chose to save himself from nomination, and replace himself with Ricco.
  • ^5 The Head of House Morris chose to save Takwonda from nomination and replace him with Ricco.
  • ^6 Munya was exempt from nominations and immune from eviction this week as he was in the Big Brother Finland house when nominations took place.
  • ^7 The Head of House Munya chose to save Ricco from nomination and replace him with Tawana.
  • ^8 In the final week viewers were voting for who they wanted to see win the show instead of who they wanted to evict.
  • ^9 Due to a 6-6 deadlock between Hazel and Ricco, in accordance with the rules of Big Brother Africa, Ricco won as the housemate with the largest percentage of votes cast.
