The momentum is building around Housemates Salone Season 2 as this medium reliably learnt that more and more people are getting interested to get into the House on the 14th October 2020 evident in the rush to procure application forms which is sold at One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Leones (Le150, 000).
August 31st, 2020 is the closing date for the submission of all filled application forms. Application forms could be secured by simply going to #AfricellSL or #AYVMediaEmpire offices across the country.
They can also be secured via online at www.africell.sl or www.ayvnews.com from the comfort of wherever you are, in or out of Sierra Leone.
Payments for forms can be made through #AfriMoney on 088201020.
What was also learnt is that young Sierra Leoneans are very keen on bagging the mouth-watering prize of Two Hundred and Fifty Million Leones (Le 250M) and go on a round trip to Dubai.
A ‘fast track’ for those in the diaspora, in terms of application, is available on line. Interested persons can apply on line through Africell and AYV websites; do their videos and send them to the judges on line. Interviews will be conducted online.
Also, for the benefit of those in the diaspora who may want to participate in the show they may contact the following: www.africell.sl or www.ayvnews.com.
One major requirement is for all applicants to do their two minutes videos and send them to the judges on line stating who they are and where they are coming from.
After the closing date what comes next is audition which will take place early September this year and will go on until the 21st September 2020. During the audition 40 finalists will be chosen who will then battle for the final 20 through another form of audition. The final 20 competent applicants, who successfully went through the audition, will enter the House on the 14th October 2020.
While in the House the more votes a particular Housemate pulls from viewers will determine how long he or she stays in the House. It will reach a stage when evictions will start until the ultimate winner emerges. The Africell number through which members of the public could vote for their favourite Housemates will be announced in due course.
But one good thing is that for each day a Housemate resides in the House, he or she is entitled to One Hundred Thousand Leones (Le100, 000).
Various episodes of the Show will be broadcast live, on a 24 hours basis, on AYV Television Channel 34.
Viewers will begin to enjoy the juice and fun-all-the-way of the Reality TV Show, Housemates Salone Season2, when the audition commences as the applicants will want to prove their mettle, trying to outwit each other and attempting to express themselves convincingly in order to impress the panel of judges to score more points. It is during this moment that laughter could be provoked by some unconsciously murdering the Queen’s Language, by putting up various artistic performances attempting to mimic certain celebrities and the rest of it.
But it is when the 20 Housemates are interacting in the House that more fun will be enjoyed as there will be a lot of gossiping, fake news, playing of games, courting of friendship, praises and condemnation, artistic performances, performing assigned tasks as directed by Chief, the unseen guy with the baritone voice.
The main rationale behind the organization of Housemates Salone Season 2 , the Last Standing Couple with the theme “Quarantine Housemates” is to provide a platform for Youth Empowerment.
Characters will be moulded, new skills will be learnt, relevant information will be imbibed and the rest of it.
Moreover, the Housemates will benefit from widespread exposure as the Show will be watched near and far. Talents will be spotted and vistas of opportunities could be opened as some of the Housemates would be earmarked to become Brand Ambassadors, movie artists, models etc.
Some people may be having reservations as to whether it is apt to stage the show when we have the coronavirus in our midst. To allay such a fear, the organizers have put all the necessary modalities in place to ensure that all the Housemates that will be entering the House are coronavirus free, that precautionary measures are observed and the House is kept safe.
As the expectations are running high, the organizers are methodologically and meticulously putting finishing touches to once again avail viewers a lively, tantalizing and thought-provoking Reality TV Show that will leave in its wake a lot of gossips and tongues wagging with various analyses as to how it all went.
