Africa’s biggest reality show, Big Brother Africa will return to your screens for its eighth season from tonight. Titled, The Chase, the show will feature 28 housemates from 14 countries including Kenya and they will all be chasing after the Sh25 million cash prize which will be awarded to the last man or woman standing after 91 days.

Big Brother The Chase will combine the usual electrifying twists and big surprises that will require housemates to use their charm, deceit and trickery 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.

“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.

Having produced 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.
 

The series will be screened live 24/7 on DStv channels 197 and 198.
