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’ yesterday.
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.
