About the show

Six seasons on, and the incredibly popular Big Brother Africa has been Amplified. Running 91 days and 24/7 with a dream grand prize of USD 200 000, this season of Africa’s biggest reality show will include more of the drama, the emotion, the excitement and the suspense that have made the series a firm fan favourite.
M-Net Africa Managing Director Biola Alabi, breaks it down: “By definition amplified means to increase the volume, to make louder, to make more powerful. And that’s exactly what we want to do with season six.”
Looking at the Eye
With a dramatic new eye, etched in a carbon fibre background with an edgy, futuristic feeling and a sophisticated, polished, reflective finish, the newly unveiled show logo sets the scene for a bold new season!
The Housemates
Big Brother Amplified will showcase Housemates from 14 countries this year: Angola, Botswana, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Big Brother has enjoyed a growing popularity across the continent and M-Net is pleased that it draws support from Africans across borders and outside of the nationalities represented. This serves to highlight that Africans support other Africans regardless of where they live or what their nationality is.
Big Brother is Watching, Big Time
Big Brother Amplified is produced for M-Net by Endemol and will be filmed on location at Sasani Studios in a brand new House in Johannesburg, South Africa.
