The date was the 18th October 2020 and the time 8:00 pm when twenty two (22) eligible Housemates were ushered into the House to commence the TV Reality Show that many have been yearning for, talking about and eagerly looking forward to view, Housemates Salone Season 2, the Last Standing Couple.
Prior to that, the organizers of the Reality TV Show, AYV and Africell took into consideration and deliberated on the guiding principles and ethics of professional television programming.
Towards heightening that and provide professional mentoring to effectively broadcast the Reality TV Show, the event’s crew members were trained by Commissioner Dr. Victor Salifu Suma, Radio and TV Expert at the Independent Media Commission (IMC) on how to keep broadcast ethical and acceptable without compromising the entertainment factor.
Out of the Fifty-Two (52) applicants who participated in a Quarantine Drama that started on the 14th October 2020 at 9:00 pm and ended on the 18th October, 2020, these twenty two (22) deserving Housemates, whose positions were determined by the voting by members of the public, emerged and they now have the daunting task of battling it out to the Grand Finale.
What the 22 Housemates will be battling for is the whooping sum of Two Hundred and Fifty Million Leones (Le250M) plus undertaking a round trip to Dubai.
Apart from bagging the Star Prize of Two Hundred and Fifty Million Leones (Le250M), all other participants will be entitled to their daily allowances of Le100, 000 each whilst they still remain in the House and accumulatively given to them whenever they are evicted.
Interestingly, during a particular stage of the Show, based on the percentage of votes scored by a particular Housemate, such will determine whether he or she will be evicted from the House. Evictions will continue until the ultimate winner emerges.
Indeed, the moment is here and the stage is now set for another fun time which many, in different parts of the country and overseas, have indeed be eagerly waiting for.
The organizers of the Reality TV Show, AYV and Africell, have ensured that all the necessary preparations have been put in place to bring exciting episodes from this entertainment show.
When once they are in the House the Housemates are expected to appear sexy and display some form of nudity.
Again, if sometimes they talk harshly then it is because they are to intermittently use strong language and act funnily as the expectation is for them to of be humorous. Manifestation of these traits is what will really make the Reality TV Show very interesting to watch, providing some form of comic relief for viewers and serving as a therapy to reduce stresses.
The main rationale behind putting together Housemates Salone Season 2 is to promote youth empowerment
The Housemates will be assigned various tasks to perform that could shape their characters, they will be availed the opportunity to learn new skills, improve on existing ones. They will also be emotionally tested, afforded the space to find panacea to certain human problems and do a host of other things.
Furthermore, 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.
The Housemates stand to benefit from motivational lectures and added to that they will be availed the opportunity to socialize, learn how to play different games, how to speak fluently etc.
With all these it will definitely transform the Housemates from what their characters were before they entered the House.
But financially empowering these Housemates is one of the most important channels of making them relevant in society. Each day spent in the House will earn a Housemate Le100, 000. The winner will bag Le250, 000,000 and he or she is expected to champion a key project that could positively impact the lives of young people in this country.
