Get ready for a sizzling experience like never before, on Big Brother Hotshots. The housemates are finally on their way into the house and this season promises to be sexy, fun, action-packed and captivating, and everyone’s already hooked!

Season 9 of Big Brother Africa has entered the building. It seems sticking with Biggie is bound to make the housemates famous!

Fame is the name of the game this season as Big Brother donned his director’s hat for Africa’s next Hotshot in Big Brother Hotshots. However, if the housemates wished to be famous, for Biggie only talent would do.

What better than a talent show to showcase talent? Here’s how it will play out; the housemates have 60 seconds in the spotlight with a performance the studio audience will rate from one to a hundred percent. Big Brother will then tally the percentage scores to reveal which one of the Hotshots they believe to be the most talented.

The housemates, excited, nervous and a bundle of emotions after weeks of awaiting the start of their journey into stardom, are invited to the take to the stage and make it theirs. In a bid to win the hearts and votes of the studio audience a talent show was arranged in which housemates have to sing, dance and perform for their lives.

With only a minute to impress the studio audience housemates came out hungry for success – clad in colourful costumes, sleek in sequins and pearls, the works!

Each housemate had to share a talent, the studio audience voted and the winner was Laveda who won the season’s first Head of House. The other 25 loser housemates are up for eviction.
