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.
