From what emerged after interviews were conducted by this medium it came out clearly was that the Big Brother TV reality show, which is going to first in the country’s history, is gaining high momentum .It could be recalled that the organizers are both the African Young Voices alongside Africell telecommunications company the first in. Currently, it is undoubtable that Big Brother 2019 is going to turn out to be an intriguing social event . What is notable is that free voting is steadily ongoing that will determine the successful and deserving competitors who will emerge to move to the final stage. Already 40 of these competitors have been shortlisted but after the ongoing public voting, 20 comprising 10 male and 10 female will qualify to enter the House on Valentine’s Day,14 February 2019.
It is indeed worthy to note that for transparency sake, the organisers of this Big Brother TV Reality Show decided to avail the general public the opportunity to participate in the selection of the 20 contestants who should enter the House by voting through the Africell Sierra Leone TOLL FREE LINE – 5500.
It is important to note that voting, via 5500, is absolutely free.
Interestingly, despite the name, Big Brother,, there is going to be a combination of ten male and ten female contestants in the House who are expected to display their talents on a variety of issues.
Each housemate will receive Le100, 000 for every day he or she stays in the House with the exception of the winner but the criterion for staying in the House depends on the amount of votes a housemate bags.
For now housemates are encouraged to convince their fans and supporters to be in readiness to cast their votes for them if they fall in the number of the 20 housemates selected to be in the House.
The competition is going to be very captivating and interesting especially after Sierra Leoneans have enjoyed a successful Big Sister Salone and saw the handing over of the star prize to the eventual winner.
The show is another opportunity for the Africa Young Voices Media Empire (AYV), one of the organisers, to not only entertain, but to empower young people to showcase their talents and at the same time create new millionaires among Sierra Leoneans.
