It didn't air since 2003 so it could be different, I hope it is, I love watching new formats even if the UK one is a legend !

28 cameras :tongue:
98 days :whistle:

In the last series it was evictions every two weeks, this series, I believe it's one every week. I think that is the major difference.

I'm looking forward to seeing this :dance2:

I think that it would be brilliant to have a swap with Big Brother USA. The USA house only has one black. The last African version only had one white. It would really be like a culture shock for either. England does usually tend to cast more racially diverse casts, so it would be more of one then it was for the first one.

I hope there is a way to watch it because it will be very interesting. The house is georgous too.

The coutries who will participated are:
Angola, Botswana, Ghana, Malawi, Namibia, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Can't wait to watch it ! :laugh:

Does It Start Today ???

Yep tonight ! I'm really excited, I hope tomorrow we will get the show by torrent !

The show is on now. Shilpa Shetty is there and welcomes the housemates and guide's them towards the house.

Only four housemates? Are they the only ones that have been released?

I have edited the post. I will keep editing it as the housemates are announced :thumbs:

Thanks Aaron. :thumbs:

Thanks for updating Aaron, where did you get the pictures ? :wink:

A person I talk to on MSN is sending them to me, I think he is getting them off a fan forum.

I'm triying to find that channel :sad:

Argh, I get so many BB Africa 1 reruns on The Africa Channel! I hope they show BB Africa 2, even if it's on somewhat of a delay.

Is there any official website ? :sad: I want to see the housemates profiles and the house tour.

Official site is http://www.mnetafrica.com/bigbrother/

Thanks, you have saved my life ! :laugh2:

"hg girls are showering, sorry I didn't see that" lol I watched the Kabelo's house tour and I love it, the host is crazy, an african version of Davina, it's wicked ! The housemates looks great too, and I personally love the house, one of the best this year, with a lot of colours and cultural items, brilliant.

I really hope this comes out on torrent!

Me too, I can't wait, it looks like amazing ! :colour:

Kabelo is so funny :laugh2:

Yeah, me too! :bigsmile:
