With the closure of the first stage leading to the commencement of Housemates Salone Season 3, which was the application stage, what comes next is Audition which will run from the 11th to 14th March 2022.
As the slogan for Housemates Salone Season 3 is “Di Game Get Yagba, If You Nor Able Na for Pull Hand” it is audition stage where the ‘Yagba’ for the Housemates-to-be begins as it will determine whether or not they are competent enough to enter the House.
Interestingly, it is quite at this stage the real fun starts as the applicants will have to fight tooth and nail in trying to demonstrate that they are eligible to enter the House.
Indeed, from past experiences we have witnessed auditions during which some of the applicants or aspirants unknowingly murdered the Queen’s Language with impunity while in an attempt to express themselves to satisfy the eligibility criteria. Some acted contrary to what they have inter alia said they are good at while applying.
The organizers of Housemates Salone Season 3, AYV Media Empire and Africell Sierra Leone, are very keen on presenting a thrilling Reality TV Show which is why they are carefully putting things in place. They successfully made arrangements to bring in Guest Judges to spearhead the audition which indeed will add flavour to the build up of the show and make the audition process very credible.
The Guest Judges include: Hazel Oyeze Onou, otherwise known as White Money, a Nigerian singer, song writer and reality TV Star. He is the winner of Big Brother Naija Season 6, Hon. Karishma Pelham-Raad is a Liberian award-winning Humanitarian, Actress, Brand Ambassador, Media Personality & Politician, Yulisa Ahmadu – ‘Dr Love’ is a Sierra Leonean Entrepreneur, Communications Specialist, Entertainment Executive and Relationship Therapist, Isatu Harrison , a Sierra Leonean Fashion entrepreneur (mum-preneur) and a management professional, Morris K. Sesay, a Sierra Leonean – American actor, producer & director.
These amazing guest judges will be part of a team of exceptional panel of judges, who will be working alongside home based Judges who are: Saraih Conteh Roberts, winner of Housemates Salone s Season 2. She is based in the United States as a singer, motivational speaker, brand influencer and philanthropist, Natasha Beckley a Sierra Leonean Hip Hop rapper and former Miss Sierra Leone 2011, Abu Bakarr Turay Esq.
