Big Brother Africa | |||
Series 2 (2007) | |||
Big Brother Africa 2 was the second series of the Big Brother Africa reality television show produced by Endemol. The series began airing on August 5, 2007.
As with the previous series, the show involved 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 Johanneburg, 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 was filmed in a house at Sasani Studios in Lyndhurst, Johannesburg.[citation needed]

[edit] Nominations
Each week housmates nominate two other housemates for eviction in the Diary Room and must give justified and clear reasons. [24] 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. [25]
[edit] 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.[26] 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. [27]
[edit] 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 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 chose 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. [28]
[edit] 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 chose 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").

[edit] Recent Controversy
Whilst in the house, Richard, a married man, had an affair with the Angolan contestant, Tatiana.
Whilst drunk, Richard allegedly sexually assaulted Ofunneka. [35]
[edit] Criticisms
The show has been the subject of much criticism, especially from the fact that most of the items in the house are not "African" and therefore it is not really "Big Brother Africa", but essentially just a Big Brother-style show with African contestants. [36]
[edit] Rules and Regulations
Of contention is also the continued enforcing and later breaking of regulations, such as the imposition of a uniform that was later withdrawn, and subsequent bans against smoking and excessive alcohol consumption that were also later withdrawn with the provision of a shopping list service where the housemates could order whatever they wanted.
[edit] Product Placement
The continued interruption of the live broadcast to advertise the show's sponsors has also been questioned.
[edit] Nomination Procedure
The change of the nomination procedure to involve a veto by the head of house has also been questioned, especially since the veto could be abused for personal reasons.
