Big Brother Africa
 
 
Series 5 (2010)

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. 14 African countires took part in this year's series, namely: Angola, Botswana, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia & Zimbabwe)

Summary

Week 1 On day 1 during the live premiere, all 14 houseguests entered the Big Brother house; Sean Paul also performed his songs "Temperature", "Hold My Hand", and "So Fine". The houseguests bet 100% of the budget on the weekly task and ultimately lost. On day 2 both Lerato and Mwisho have been placed up for eviction this week; Mwisho had refused to nominate therefore he was automatically nominated. However at Big Brother's discretion he placed all the houseguests up for eviction for the week. During a random draw of balls from a bag, Tatiana became the 1st Head of House. On Day 6, Housemates staged a protest in the Diary Room due to the lack of food in the house. The housemates went as far as covering all the cameras and windows within the Diary Room with blankets and sheets. With Big Brother not giving in, the Housemates decided to break down a door that would leave them outside of the house. Big Brother called in Head of House Tatiana to the Diary Room but was followed with the rest of the housemates. Security guards were brought into the house to bring order; that order failed as the housemates then held the guards hostage. Big Brother demanded the housemates to release the guards. Big Brother told the housemates to try to maintain with the current food in the house till Monday, much to the displeasure to the rest of the house. Later, Big Brother supplied housemates with food. The Housemates later apologized for their actions and thanked Big Brother.[4] On Day 7, Kaone and Tatiana were fake evicted and returned to the house soon after.[5] A new area of the house, the Barn, was also revealed to the public.[6]

Week 2 On day 8 Big Brother deducted 10% of the prize money for the winner of the show and it now stands at $180 000.
