Thanks. Not liking the remix of the theme, but good to see the old 1999 logo making an appearance. I think the font works really well on it's own actually - looks great here and looks good on the BB Denmark logo too.

Ah okay, might watch to see the tour then...thank you

[Headie]

It has LIVE FEED!

But they don't stream in online, only on African channels. I'm hoping somebody will be kind enough to upload every highlight episode (or they'll be uploaded to the official website, idc).

[Lowkey]

I wish someone would stream the channel online for live feed. Denzel is hilarious. Maria is hot.

Nomination spoiler for the Ruby House and Diamond House and HOH spoilers:

Spoiler:

Selly (Ghana) and Bassey (Sierra Leone) are up for eviction this week for the ruby house, with 6 nominations each.
Huddah (Kenya) recieved nominations, Denzel (Uganda) received 6 nominations and Elikem (Ghana) receieved 4 nominations. (I'm not quite sure why the 3 of them are nominated instead of just the 2 who got the most votes, but that's what it says on the website. Perhaps if you get more than 3 nominations you are up?).

Feza (Tanzania) is the HOH for the Diamond House and can choose to save a nominee and replace them with a different safe housemate.

I can't @ the 2 housemates from Ghana (my family's heritage) both being up for eviction

Full nominations count:

Diamond House Nominations:
Huddah – 7 Nominations
Denzel – 6
Elikem – 4
Bolt, Annabel, Fatima, Neyll and Betty – 2
Dellish – 1

Ruby House Nominations:
Selly and Bassey - 6 Nominations
Natasha and Hakeem – 3
Cleo and Bigeusas – 2
Oneal, Koketso, Beverly, Pokello, Maria and Sulu – 1

I know that there's gonna be a HOH for each household, and the HOH can save + replace one of the nominees. So I'm guessing that if a nominated housemate gets HOH, they can swap themselves with someone else, or if a safe person gets HOH, they can save and replace one of the nominees. However, I think they had the HOH competition before the nominations, so it's unlikely that anyone would nominate the HOH as it would be a wasted vote.

[lostalex]

Ruby and Diamond? sounds like Pokemon.

[Headie]

Here are the Save + Replace Nominations (spoilers):

Spoiler:

Diamond HOH: Feza (Tanzania)
Ruby HOH: Beverly (Nigeria)

Feza (Tanzania) chose to save Elikem (Ghana) from eviction and replaced him with Betty (Ethiopia).
Beverly (Nigeria) chose to save Bassey (Sierra Leone) from eviction and replaced him with Natasha (Malawi).

Therefore the nominees for the first eviction are:
Diamond: Denzel (Uganda), Betty (Ethiopia) and Huddah (Kenya)
Ruby: Selly (Ghana) and Natasha (Malawi)

Ugh, I can't @ Selly and Natasha being up. They are like the 2 biggest characters so far.

Some Live Feed clips of the Nominations Reveal:

Beverly (Ruby HOH) saves and replaces one of the nominated Ruby housemates

Feza (Diamond HOH) saves and replaces one of the nominated Diamond housemates:

You can vote on the website for who you want to stay. As far as I'm aware, it is one housemate from each house being evicted, but you can only vote for one housemate per hour.

You need to register online and create an account (and put your country as an African country so that you will be able to vote). You can vote once every hour on the website. (I put my country as Ghana and voted for Selly, so therefore my vote will be part of Ghana's vote). Also, it is a VOTE TO SAVE and it is FREE to vote online.

Hopefully the nominations episode will be uploaded tomorrow.

[Lowkey]

Denzel and Hudda have to stay for entertainment purposes.

[Headie]

I've already voted like 5 times for Selly to stay. COME ON GHANA!

[Macie Lightfoot]

Has anyone found the second episode (I guess it would be the first highlights show after launch night)? I've been looking but haven't found anything yet.

I haven't found any episodes, but if I do I'll let you know.

It was like this last year, so I have just been watching the clips on the website instead. The highlight episodes don't really show that much anyway, and they're pretty rushed.

This channel uploads lots of Live Feed clips on to Youtube, if you want to keep yourself updated: http://www.youtube.com/user/BigBroAfricaTheChase

[Brekkie]

Last years episodes are on DailyMotion, but nothing for this year as of yet.

The two houses a bit bland IMO - and a bit too similar. Must say though they have a great host in IK - BB is so much more watchable with a capable presenter at the helm.

[Lowkey]

Are the episodes up yet?

[Josiah.]

I have registered and I picked Ghana and saved Selly.

With the voting, each country in Africa participating in Big Brother Africa 8; a certain number of votes will go to a housemate. It will count as 1 vote. The rest of Africa (not participating in Big Brother Africa 8)'s vote also counts as 1 vote for a nominee.

[Vanessa]

So we can vote ?

Basically, when you click on a housemate to save them, it will ask you to login or create an account. When you are creating an account, you must put your Country as an African country. Then you can vote to save a housemate once every hour online for free.

[lostalex]

i was really hoping to watch the highlight shows. With all the countries involved you'd think someone would upload them to torrents or youtube or something.

[Headie]

I've found the first Highlight episode!

Echoing this for anyone who's not seen the first highlight episode yet.

Also, 2 housemates have been swapped from each house:

Spoiler:

The Diamond House won the Airtel Arena competition and beat the Ruby House, so therefore current Diamond HOH Feza chosed to send Denzel and Neyll to the Ruby House and swapped them with Hakeem and Melvin who are now living in the Diamond House.

I'm guessing this means that it will be the 2 nominees with the lowest votes being evicted and not 1 from each house, because Feza could've swapped 2 of the Diamond nominees into the Ruby House if she wanted to, leaving only 1 nominee in the Diamond House.
