Big Brother Africa IV unveils without SHOWER HOUR, now people will sleep at night.


DESPITE raging controversies and much heated debate, M-Net's prime reality show, Big Brother Africa (BBA) is set to hit the airwaves with its 4th edition from the 6th of September to the 6th of December 2009. At the media launch of the BBA4 in Lagos at the weekend, Managing Director of M-Net Africa, Ms. Biola Adekambi, announced the return of the Big Brother Africa tagged 'The Revolution.'

With gusto, Adekambi told the packed crowd of journalists that the show is "set to change your expectations. The Big Brother is here again, but it is bigger and better." Announcing some of the new innovations added to the show, she said the number of participating countries has been increased from 12 to 14.

"We will be having housemates from Angola, Botswana, Ethiopia, Ghana, Malawi, Mozambique, Gambia, Namibia, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Uganda, Tanzania and Zimbabwe, who will do some exciting things in the house, so our viewers across the continent of Africa can be consistently surprised and entertained for 91 days watching the house."

Top on the bill on sweeping changes to the reality show is the stripping of shower hour from BBA. "There will be no more shower hour and you will not see nudity throughout the show," came the shocking but expected declaration from M-Net.

"We are upping the prize money from USD100,000 to USD200,000, there will be no violence in the House which will have 40 hidden cameras and 100 microphones so viewers would not miss out any action. We look forward to the new season and we are doubling the entire package in the hope that we would double the fun too. We have also changed the voting style, instead of voting for the person you want out of House, you will now vote for the person you want to remain in the House."

The M-Net boss sweated it out explaining in concise details that BBA is not all about shower hour. "Yes, it is unique to us. There are a lot of Big Brother shows around the world without shower hour. So, as a way of revamping the show, we have decided to do away with it and be responsible in our broadcast so that there will not be anything that is offensive in our broadcast, but the fun of the show is not in the shower hour, it is in the conspiracy in the House.

"Viewers will be entertained to see what money can do and how it drives people into conspiracy, especially the fact that people who are coming from different backgrounds and countries and who don't know each other will have to live together for three months. The focus of the show is to bring entertainment to our viewers in close to 50 countries in Africa, it is not a talent search."

Explaining how the BBA will be exclusively monitored to prevent the scores of media displeasure that attended its last showing, Head Corporate Communications of MultiChoice Nigeria, Mr. Segun Fayose said the BBA station, which is on Channel 198, would be scrambled. "BBA will not be available on DSTv, instead interested viewers will have to inform MultiChoice that they want to watch BBA by sending SMS to 08036393788 or send a mail to bba@multichoicenigeria.com . If you don't do that, you will not watch the show parents can also decide what their children want to watch by activating the Parental Control device."

The Managing Director of MultiChoice Nigeria, Mr Joseph Hundah, said the pay TV station was putting all these measures to avoid the deluge of disapproval the show generated the last time. "After spending a lot of time in Abuja last year talking to committee members of the House of Assembly and the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC), we have decided to change the focus of the show and I can assure you that this time around, we have gotten their approval and blessing to continue with the show.

He however noted that pay television is a matter of choice, "you can choose to subscribe or not, and even with that, you can choose to block out any channel you don't want to watch with the use of parental control. But this time around, you can only watch BBA by choosing to call us or send an email to us that you want the show, which will be available on the premium and compact brocade."

Awww. . . Poor Shower Hour. . . . We're gonna miss uuuuu

Tseewwww as if the show was not boring enough  

Shower hour was so unnecessary.

No stress so far we can still view d show watz d big deal abt shower hour.

Dear Show bobo, I'm gonna have to go with u on this one. . .

Wait, Are they changing the entire show just for us? As in Nigeria as a country? Is Nigeria the only country where DSTV is subscribed to? NO. So I don't get it. Or maybe they just wouldn't show the shower hour if you're watching from Nigeria? But is that possible? Somebody, please clarify.

shower hour isnt necessary, we shd be asking 4 "poo time" as well, if we're really bent on it.

BB UK doesnt insist on shower hour like we do!

Get off your retarded horse before you throw accusations you have no clue of. Why would anyone anticipate watching people take their baths? If you and your kind are  that perverted, that does not automatically mean everyone is like you or derive pleasure from seeing naked bodies!!! On whose audacity do you have the right to refer people with differring views as "moralistic hypocrites?" You had better be careful with the way you use words!!! You can organize bathing sessions in your house if you are so interested in seeing naked bodies!!!

TBH, Shower Hour is moronic.
BB UK don't even show such nonsense and i believe they are not as morally upright like we Africans.
The rules are. . . . .If there's a man and a woman making out in the bathroom, the cameras would show em but it's a no-no to men/women bathing.
That is how it should be. . . . . .Shower Hour when young kids are supposed to be watching their cartoon network. . . .They flip the remote and alas. .  . . . . .it is Tapuwa soaping her labia.

Why stillwater? Why??

hmmmmm

Thank God for small mercies , Finally Africa is thinking progressively.

Plus for those who dey yap Etisalat promo, I decided to investigate all of this stuff and someone is truly going to walk away with the $1Million.

When I asked the execs, all they said was 'we are too young in this market for games and it's all about integrity'.

Believe me, when this same Etisalat started hiring and giving staff heavy pay, no one talk for that time. Have you heard of any staff say that their salary has not been paid for one day?

So abeg, for those who wan become millionaire, go participate. I've sent in my entry. Actually woke up at 4am. Alarm blazing. Fingers crossed.

Hey,9z wrk doin sum diggin around about em.Bt rem nt al dat glitter is gold.Just go ahead wit wat u r doin,bt dnt encourage others 2 do it.Na money mata b dis o!

Oh please, get real.

First of all, I'm not such a big fan of Big Brother. Secondly, all of you need to use your brains and realise that Big Brother at the end of the day is a business. They want to get viewers so that they can attract big advertisers so that they can make money and use what is left over to pay the winner the prize.

The point is, sex and nudity sell. Full stop. Anybody trying to deny that fact is a moronic idiot. I don't care that people are showering, but I assure you that there are MILLIONS of people all over the continent that are very interested in watching people shower. MNET should be very interested in giving those MILLIONS of people what they want if they want to make money.

And yes, LOTS of Africans are moralistic hypocrites. Africans f uck from morning to night and still come out and claim holiness. If we're so holy why is AIDS killing us like flies?

Abeg jo! YOU get off your high horse and pull the stick out of your ass.

I can live without the shower hour.

sebi na to soap, scrub, rinse and dry?

abi which one dont they do?  Do they skip one of those steps?

If I need to get Hot I can always read a romance novel or watch a romantic movie.

How does a woman washing her fanny, or some dude soaping his cock translate to mega millions? There is nothing sexy about that by the way. BB UK doesnt even show shower hours, _{and I know they they're more immoral than Africans}, yet it is a commercial success. They are other ways 2 mk d show more interesting n profitable.
yeah u mentioned Africans f uck all day long, Hell yeah, we do, so MNET shouldnt bother 2 insult our senses with people soaping off. if we want to watch porn, we know where get one or how 2 make one!

Hahahaa, I was warned that citizens of nairaland have caustic mouths,
Sauron, who told you that sugabelly has bushy pubis?
I am happy the shower hour has been removed, it was such a bore, and Sugabelly, sex sells yes but the shower hour is hardly sex, it is just people soaping their bodies, and you have to be a concentrated first class pervert, summa cum laude to enjoy that! lol

i am so glad its over that part of the programme was a show of shame.
