After three successful seasons of the world’s first ever continental Big Brother, all systems are ready to go for the fourth installment of Big Brother Africa.  A new season of the sensational reality TV series has been announced to begin in September and this time it’s bigger than ever.

Dubbed, ‘Big Brother Africa: The Revolution’, the prize money has been doubled and now stands at a phenomenal USD 200,000 – a breathtaking, life-altering ‘winner takes all’ fortune. Wait that’s not all: there will now be open castings in 18 cities. Once again, there will be housemates from Ghana, Angola, Botswana, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe but this time round though the search has been widened to include housemates from Mozambique and Ethiopia.

Adding to the new mix are 40 ‘all-seeing, all-knowing’ cameras, which promises almost twice as much sight and sound capability as seasons 1, 2 or 3. In addition, the old rules banning conspiracy in the house have been lifted and contestants will be free to forge alliances, discuss strategy openly and play the game in an entirely different way. Even the voting is set to undergo a complete transformation. This year, audiences will be asked to vote for the housemates they want to see remain in the series rather than the housemates they want to see leave the house. So it’s all about being positive and keeping the great players in the game!

Top all this off with a dramatic revised format, bolder and more intense than anything audiences have seen so far.  If you want to be a part of the revolution, just take yourself, or a friend, or a family member that you think is perfect for the show, to a casting venue and get in line to see the selection team. Remember that castings will be held on a ‘first come/first served’ basis and to qualify for entry, you must be over the age of 21, be fluent in English, have a valid passport and be a citizen of any of the 14 participating countries.

Entrants who impress the selectors at the open castings will head into several follow-up selection rounds, before the final housemates are chosen. They will then head into a revolutionized Big Brother Africa house on September 6.  91 entertaining days later, after chasing the largest reality series prize that M-Net has ever offered and almost certainly the largest reality TV cash prize on offer in Africa, one winner will be chosen by voting audiences at the series Finale on December 6.
