Housemates Salone Season 2 continues to give thrilling episodes which many have attested they are truly enjoying and finding very educative. Out of the initial twenty-two (22) Housemates that entered the House Six (6) of them have been evicted so far meaning that there are now sixteen (16) of them remaining.
Those who are currently in the House are competing for the staggering winning prize of Two Hundred and Fifty Million Leones (Le 250M) plus undertaking a round trip to Dubai. Definitely, there is going to be just one winner that will emerge at the end of the competition.
However, one good thing about the on-going Reality TV Show is that for every day that a Housemate spends in the House, he or she is entitled to One Hundred Thousand Leones (Le100, 000). It is in that regard that two former Housemates who were evicted last weekend were given the sum of Two Million Leones each.
What really determines the stay and survival of the Housemates in the House is the number of votes that they bag from members of public. It is these votes that are translated into percentages and falling below the threshold will lead to being asked out of the House.
All the Housemates have unique numbers which members of the public should send via SMS message or vote the number of any of the Housemates to: 5500 or Dial *5500#. For International voting, call: +23299005500.
If some of the Housemates are appearing sexy by the kind of dresses they wear then that must not come as any big surprise simply because they are expected to display nudity. Again, if sometimes they talk harshly then it is because they are expected to intermittently use strong language and act humorously.
What is really certain is the fact that the Reality TV Show has a Parental Advisory which stipulates that it is meant to be watched by adults, in other words, those who are 18 years old and above.
Organisers of the event, Africa Young Voices (AYV) and Africell are very enthusiast to enhance youth empowerment in the country and the 2020 Housemates Salone is one platform that is providing that for the young competitors.
They are benefitting from motivational lectures and added to that they are given the opportunity to socialize, learn how to play different games, how to speak fluently etc. With all these it will definitely transform the Housemates from what their characters were before they entered the House.
But financially empowering these Housemates is one of the most important channels of making them relevant in society. Each day spent in the House will earn a Housemate Le100, 000. The winner will bag Le100, 000,000 and in the short future champion a key project that is expected will positively impact the lives of young people in the country.
It is an open secret that since its inception the African Young Voices (AYV) has been providing opportunities for young people to have their voices heard, to learn new skills and meaningfully contribute to overall national development.
This youth empowerment drive is one of the cardinal objectives of this renowned media empire and it has been successfully rolling it out.
On the part of Africell, the telecommunications service provider has been supporting various entertainment activities and even young artists in the country with the avowed aim of catching them young and as well contributing to enable young people to realise their potentials and bring them out.
Being an interesting and widely watched Reality TV Show on AYV TV Channel 34, Housemates Salone is also providing a marketing platform for many corporate and business institutions such as Banks, business houses, entertainment entities etc, who are effectively making use of the channel to advertise their products and services.
