It
was a battle of boobs among the hundreds of ladies, who thronged the
Lagos, Nigeria open casting/auditions of contestants for the season
seven of the M-Net Africa’s hit television reality show, Big Brother
Africa, tagged ‘Double Up’ March 6th.
At
the early morning auditions held at Protea Leadway Hotel, Maryland, the
excitement was infectious as many of the applicants, especially the
female folks, dressed in revealing attires with their cleavages pouting
as if intended to create a ‘boob factor’ during the casting.
However,
the audition was a thrilling experience, full of excitement and
abundance of display of talents, according to an executive of M-Net
Africa, who witnessed the open casting and audition.
The
producers had announced that entrants would have to double up to
compete. According to a statement, “Whether you enter with your best
friend, boyfriend, girlfriend, mom, dad, brother, sister, boss, husband,
wife, neighbour, hairdresser, whomever…you must just make sure that you
enter as a pair. So who will take the journey of a lifetime with you?
Remember you may have to spend a long time with them in the house so
choose carefully!”
And
so, while many came with their partners, others came with their aunts
and some with friends. Some who were auditioned kept to the instructions
not to discuss their experience with the media, others shared their
optimism of making it to the BBA House when the show commences.
Dr.
May Blossom Brown, a grandmother, who came to the audition with her
nephew, Munachinso Ejiofor, as partner for the show, said she had a
wonderful time with the other younger contestants who came for the
auditioning and very positive that they will make it to the finals of
the series.
Another
contestant who simply called herself Gabriella was at the auditions
with her friend, Tope. They are looking forward to be selected and be
part of the show main show itself.
M-Net
has announced that it will be another 91 days full of drama, action and
unimaginable entertainment when BBA 7 hits screens in May. Also, the
bounty for this year’s edition has been increased to a staggering
$300,000.
Biola
Alabi, Managing Director, M-Net Africa, said the show is definitely a
high demand property that draws and holds audiences from start to
finish.
She
adds that viewers should expect something different from past editions
as the show tries to always re-invent with each new edition.
“We’ve
had positive feedback from BBA fans who love the challenge of entering
in pairs. It’s great to see them embrace the change so
enthusiastically,” said Alabi.
Nigerian Karen Igho emerged winner of the last edition of Big Brother Africa in 2011 alongside Zimbabwean Wendall Parson.
