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.
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.
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]
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.
