Season 6

Bright, bold and brand new, the house this year is a celebration of colour, with vivid oranges, fresh greens and cheerful pinks complementing funky purple, sunshine yellow and cool blue.

Fusing retro hip style with more modern contoured shapes, the house is playful, artistic and eclectic. It's a showcase for pop culture, filled with interesting contrasts and dynamic wall art while remaining a light filled space that is welcoming and warm.

Fitted with all the modern appliances, the house is best described as friendly and fashionable, created to offer real comfort and great fun to the housemates.

Including two bedrooms, a long kitchen, a storeroom, an open plan living room plus a large garden evergreen with artificial grass and two separate seating areas, the Big Brother house also includes a large bathroom.

Most importantly, the Diary Room (now called the Chat Room) is back at the heart of things where housemates will spend time talking directly to Biggie.

Amongst the décor, the house also functions as a fully-fledged studio environment and includes 120 microphones and 54 cameras, including brand new 'cue-ball' cameras that allow for even greater camera flexibility and scope, an essential on a series that runs 24/7 live for 91 days.

Big Brother Amplified is available 24/7 to DStv Premium, Compact Plus and Compact subscribers. The series is produced for M-Net by Endemol SA. Big Brother Amplified is also available on DStv Mobile in Ghana, Kenya, Namibia and Nigeria.

The Big Brother Amplified Launch Show, which kicks off at 19h00 CAT on 1 May, is going multi-media, with live steaming of the two-hour opening show on the official website, marking the first time in the history of the African series that this has happened.

And for audiences who log on early, there's a special 15 minute pre-show exclusive to online audiences that begins at 18h45 CAT.

Nigerian television and radio star I.K. Osakioduwa returns to the Big Brother stage for a third time.

The housemates are once again drawn from 14 countries – Angola, Botswana, Ghana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Tasks

Each week the Housemates will undertake various tasks that will stretch them to the limits in order to win a week's worth of budget that will enable them to buy groceries and other essential necessities.

Only Big Brother has the authority to assign the weekly tasks which mostly involve team play and perseverance. If the housemates display tremendous endurance, focus and willingness to succeed, Big Brother can wager up to 100% of their budget.

Rules

In Big Brother's house, the rules remain as long as Big Brother says so. He can change them at any time, so housemates and viewers alike should brace themselves for a unique viewing experience with plenty of twists and turns.

Field Presenters

Big Brother has again deployed field presenters to give feedback about each housemate's hype and to get a grip on home ground. The presenters are expected to interview the housemate's parents, friends and compile reports from eviction parties.

Head of House

Each week housemates compete against one another for the prestigious title of the Head of Household (HoH). The house leader's benefits include seven days' immunity from eviction.

The 24-hour live feed is on Channel 198, with the daily show, live nominations and eviction shows on M-Net Africa (Channel 102) and repeats on Africa Magic (Channel 107).
