Tanzania’s Idris has emerged Big Brother Hotshots’ hottest housemate taking home $300, 000. Sunday night’s thrilling two-hour live extravaganza ended with him picking up most of the viewer votes from the continent after 63 days in the house. This is the ninth season of the reality show.
“The behind-the-scenes team overcame some astounding obstacles to get this season of Big Brother Africa on-air – and they delivered a show that was bigger, better, more dramatic and more entertaining than ever before,” she said.
“Congratulations to Idris on being named the winner of Big Brother Hotshots – and thank you to the rest of the housemates for providing the entire continent with 63 days of phenomenal entertainment”.
Idris saw off the challenge of 25 other housemates through nine weeks of extravaganzas, weekly tasks, ‘freeze’ challenges and even an epic prank in true Big Brother style. After he’d picked himself up off the floor after the announcement, Idris told IK he was feeling exhausted after the “long ride”. “Big love to everyone in Africa, I have so much love out there, I’m going to give back every single day,” said the man from Arusha.
Big Brother Hotshots was produced for AfricaMagic by Endemol SA.
