The four days audition for Housemates Salone Season 3 successfully ended on the 14th March 2022 and indeed the whole exercise was truly entertaining and captivating leaving viewers laughing their sides out as some of the aspirants were speaking Chinese or Jazz when in actual fact they were only required to give simple answers in English.
Some even over dramatized in trying to display the skills or abilities which they claimed they possess and which they strongly believed will take them to the House ending up making mockery of themselves. Others, on the other hand, performed excellently and from responses by the audience it seems that they may likely sail through.
One of the Guest Judges who vetted the applicants, Yulisa Ahmadu better known as ‘Dr Love’ , who is a Sierra Leonean Entrepreneur, Communications Specialist, Entertainment Executive and Relationship Therapist expressed his view to this medium how he felt to be part of the Panel of Judges.
“I had the pleasure of serving as one of the Guest Judges at the Housemates Sierra Leone Season 3 Reality TV show Audition. It was an amazing weekend indeed,” he disclosed further extending thanks to the organizers AYV Media Empire and Africell-SL for coming up with another episode of the Reality TV Show and for getting him involved in the process of empowering young people in the country. He also wished the applicants that went through the audition Good Luck as they await an official pronouncement.
“Let the Game begin as Di Game get Yagba!” Yulisa sounded forward-looking resonating the eagerness lurking in the minds of the vast majority of members of the public in and out of the country who are patiently awaiting the commencement of Housemates Salone Season 3 proper, when the Housemates will be under one roof trying to outsmart each other in order for one of them to emerge the ultimate winner.
It was reliably learnt that the results of the audition exercise will soon be announced.
Materially what the organizers of Housemates Salone Season 3 have to offer are Le250M plus a full round trip to Dubai.
However, deep down the Reality TV Show is geared towards Youth Empowerment. With young Housemates, from different backgrounds confined under one roof , they will be taken through certain mental and physical exercises that will impact their personalities and it is certain that after the competition they will never be the same again.
They stand to benefit from being guided to be motivational speakers, to think critically as well as rationally, how to healthily interact, how to solve problems, to set goals, to cook, how to eat and dress for different occasions, to sing, dance, control emotions and stress. They will have the opportunity to learn from what visiting guests from certain corporate institutions will teach them, learn how to play games and a host of other things that are aligned to coping mechanisms as well as development of strong characters.
Another good thing about the show is that it will put all the Housemates in the spotlight as the Reality TV Show will be viewed by many in and out of the country. People will come to know them, the talents that they possess and what they are capable of doing. The show could be a window of opportunity for the Housemates as some people out there could be interested in tapping the talents that they have seen displayed which could end up in changing their fortunes for life.
For now Housemates Salone is the most talked about upcoming social event that continues to dominate conversations in social circles and many are looking forward to be viewing an entertaining and educative programme from which, it is believed, a lot could be learnt.
Yulisa Ahmadu intimated that judging from the number of applicants , which is up to about eight hundred, there is the likelihood, as it happened during the Season 2 that there will be provision for voting to take place in order to get the final list of those who will enter the House.
Maybe to rephrase one of Yulisa Ahmadu, alias Dr Love’s longing for the commencement of the show it is but apt to say that since De Game get Yabga en If You Nor Able Na For Pull Hand then let the Game now starts and see whether some heads might roll.
