Big Brother Africa 5 (also known as Big Brother Africa: All-Stars) was the fifth season of the Big Brother Africa reality television series produced by Endemol. The season premiered on Sunday, July 18, 2010 and was broadcast by M-Net and M-NetAfrica for 91 days, concluding on October 17, 2010 when Nigeria's Uti was crowned the ultimate winner. Each week the Housemates nominated two of their own and the public voted to either save or evict them until only 5 Housemates remained on finale night. The grand prize for this season was initially $200,000, however, due to the strike that took place on Day 6, the grand prize was decreased by ten percent meaning that the winner will now receive $180,000. [1] Since that incident and toward the end of the series, the grand prize has been reinstated as $200,000 although this reinstatement was never formally announced to the housemates and the public.[ citation needed ] 14 African countries took part in this year's series, namely: Angola, Botswana, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe). This season also use some of the game mechanics from the Secret Story franchise.

Contents

Format

The format introduced during the fourth season returned for this edition. The public voted to save their favorite housemate from eviction from the House. This edition featured past Housemates from the first four seasons returning to the House for another chance to win.

Secrets

Each Housemate entered the House with a personal secret that they had to protect. Each Housemate entered the House with their own personal vault with $1,000. Big Brother gave the Housemates an optional task of discovering each other's secrets. For each time a Housemate discovers another Housemate's secret they automatically gain all the cash in their personal vault. If a Housemate is able to keep their secret until they are evicted they will keep all the money in their vault. However if a Housemate reveals their secret to another Housemate they will lose the money in their vault and occur other penalties. This format is similar to that used in the French and the Portuguese versions of Secret Story. [2] [3]

The Barn

In a twist from previous seasons a new area of the House was introduced called "The Barn". On Day 14, following the eviction of Hannington and Sammi, Big Brother revealed that this year all evicted housemates will move to the "Barn", where they will live for an undisclosed amount of time. Eventually, some of the housemates living in the barn may return to the main house. [4] In comparison to the main house the barn is a more simple house. Those who lived in the barn received visits from others they know family members, friends, and significant others (boyfriend/girlfriend etc..). The barn official closed down on day 77.

On Saturday nights dubbed "All-Star Saturday Night('s)", both housemates and barnmates had performances from various DJ's/Performers from the various African countries of the continent. Performances from musicians and entertainers also occurred during the live eviction shows, the launch show, and the final show.

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

  • ^Note 1  : On Day 2, Housemates were each asked to nominate two of their fellow housemates for eviction. Mwisho refused to nominate and as punishment was automatically nominated for eviction by Big Brother. Following the first round of nominations, Big Brother decided to disregard the original nomination results and to nominate all housemates for eviction.
  • ^Note 2  : Starting with Week 2's eviction, all evicted Housemates were actually not evicted and moved into a secret House called The Barn. Whilst in The Barn, all housemates could still have the power to nominate, but The Barn Housemates could not be nominated, as they were presumed to be evicted.
  • ^Note 3  : As Hannington was evicted at the end of Week 2, the Head of House power was given to Tatiana because she finished in second place at the Head of House competition.
  • ^Note 4  : As Tatiana was evicted at the end of Week 4, the Head of House power was given to Kaone because he finished in second place at the Head of House competition.
  • ^Note 5  : As part of her punishment for the fight she had with Hannington, from Week 10 on, Lerato will not be eligible to nominate.
  • ^Note 6  : In Week 11, all nominations were voided and all barn Housemates were automatically nominated for eviction. Following the barnmates eviction in week 11, those who had not been initially saved by the public took part in a random drawing in order to determine who would be the last barnmate to re-enter the main House. Lerato was chosen and re-entered the House.
  • ^Note 7  : Week 13 was the final week. The public was voting for a winner.
