In a rare and surprised appearance, never witnessed in Sierra Leone’s Reality TV Shows, two (2) former Nigerian Housemates in the just concluded Realty TV Big Brother Show, Erica and Kiddwaya, on Sunday 29th November 2020, joined evicted housemates of the Housemates Salone show Season 2, in an eviction Party at the New AYV Media Empire Complex on Tower Hill in Freetown.
This action by the organizers has been welcomed by the viewing public as a new incentive geared towards encouraging those evicted to have hope that their participation in the show will pave the way for better things ahead for them. It will further provide fans of the housemates to interact with them during the party and get a feel of what celebrity means.
According to the organizers of the Reality TV Show, the Sunday party comes in the wake of the introduction of a new promotion that the organizers packaged to avail viewers the opportunity to win different prizes by predicting the evictees on a weekly basis. To win prizes one should: Dial: *5500# and choose Option 3 to enter the draw and win Le5,000,000 by predicting two right names and Le1,000,000 by predicting one right name.
From what ,so far , have been gathered from the different fan zones, there are ongoing behind the scenes campaigns geared towards convincing the wider citizenry to cast their valued votes for Housemates considered to be their favourites . Theirs is not only limited to mounting campaigns but also raising funds in order to credit their mobile phones so that they can vote as many times as it is within their ambit.
It is the number of votes that the Housemates bag from members of the public which the judges will partly consider in arriving at any decision that will define or determine their fates, that is continued stay in the House or face eviction.
All the Housemates have their unique numbers which members of the public should use to vote by sending them via SMS to: 5500 or Dial *5500#.
For International voting an individual can call: +23299005500.
Members of the public should know that their votes do matter and as a result they must step up the pace at which they are voting for their favourite Housemates, The responsibility of popularizing the unique numbers of the Housemates with the objective of obtaining public votes squarely lie on the shoulders of the various Fan Clubs of the Housemates better known as “Teams”.
What is up for grabs, as put forward by the organizers of this Reality TV Show, is the mouth-watering sum of Two Hundred and Fifty Million Leones (Le250M) plus undertaking a round trip to Dubai.
The Reality TV Show is designed in such a way that for every day any of the Housemates stays in the House, he or she becomes automatically eligible to earn One Hundred Thousand Leones (Le100, 000).
By all estimation and regardless of any contrary view that has been expressed, which is naturally inevitable, the crystal fact remains that the ongoing Housemates Salone 2020 TV Reality Competition will go down the annals of this country’s entertainment industry as one of the biggest events that have been successfully staged in this country.
The competition is indeed truly thrilling and somehow funny, generating discussions in different quarters not particularly about how it is organized or is being rolled out but rather bordering on the performances and characters of the various Housemates presently in the House.
If some of the Housemates appear 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 to intermittently use strong language and acting funnily is as a result of the expectation of being humorous. In a bid to manifest these elements that is what is really making the Reality TV Show that is shown on AYV Television Channel 34, very interesting to watch providing some form of relief for viewers and serving as a therapy to reduce stresses.
The remaining Housemates, save those who have been evicted, are currently interacting, learning new skills, taken through certain tutorials, learning how to solve conflicts, courting relationships, playing games and doing a host of other things.
Housemates Salone Season 2 is huge, historic which is why you should not miss the interesting episodes as they are truly entertaining, informative and educative.
