The biggest reality show in Africa is back and AfricaMagic
can reveal that Season 8 of Big Brother Africa has been dramatically
titled The Chase. 28 housemates from 14 countries will not only be
chasing after the 300 000 USD cash prize but the chance of becoming a
household name and perhaps even finding romance.
Launching on
Sunday 26 May, Big Brother The Chase will combine electrifying twists
and big surprises that will require housemates to use their charm to get
ahead, possibly leaving room for cupid’s arrow to connect two hearts or
more.
Setting the tone, in line with theme, the new seasons logo
showcases a glittering and slightly flirtatious feel with chic, edgy
gold plated lines. The iconic Big Brother eye has an enchanting gold
dust finish with a dazzling diamond centre, featuring a teasing hint of
ruby red.
More good news is that the witty and entertaining IK
Osakioduwa returns once again in 2013 to host The Chase. He has won many
fans across the continent for his ability to speak openly with
housemates and allow them to be at ease at their most vulnerable
moments. “Big Brother Africa is a pretty unique show. Every season has
its own special moments and features. I'm super excited to be invited
back to host the show. I have thoroughly enjoyed the past seasons and I
look forward to bringing a fresh and energetic approach to The Chase,”
says the popular TV and radio presenter.
Commenting on the new Season M-Net Africa Managing Director Biola Alabi says, “Without revealing too much, I can say that AfricaMagic
always strives to deliver the best in entertainment and Big Brother
Africa remains at the forefront of our plans. We want to give audiences
and loyal fans of the show, a truly unforgettable viewing experience
once again. This season audiences can expect a show encompassing
suspense, emotions, drama, fun, excitement and quite possibly, as we
have seen in previous seasons, a little romance.

Big Brother Africa from Season one, Endemol promises a sterling edition
of The Chase, “Endemol is excited to present another season of Big
Brother in Africa. Another vintage season lies in store with fresh new
twists and surprises and ultimately great reality entertainment” adds
Managing Director of Endemol South Africa Sivan Pillay.
