As an excited 2018 big brother kicks off today Sunday 28, we
hope to see our ever blazing presenter- Ebuka obi-uchendu and some new
entertaining New housemates coming in on a race to win a whopping sum of
45 million naira in this third Season.
Last year’s was tagged, “See Gobbe”, This year’s edition is tagged: “Double Wahala”
The aim of the show is to have fun; however for the duration of the
show, the Housemates are subject to Biggie’s rules. These need to be
followed from the moment the Housemates enter the House until the moment
they leave. Take a look at the below;
Big Brother’s rules of law:
Rule 1: Housemates must respect the House and their fellow contestants at all times.
Rule 2: The Housemates will have no contact with the
outside world and they are kept busy by the various tasks and
challenges set by Biggie. Being in such close proximity with a house
full of strangers can be tough going and Biggie has set rules that need
to be followed.
Rule 3: Big Brother has complete control over
everything going on in the house and Biggie never discusses anything
that goes on outside of the house with anyone inside.
Rule 4: The Housemates are filmed 24/7 and they must
have their microphones on at all times. The viewers must be able to
hear all conversations at all times and are not allowed to whisper or
cover their mouths while speaking to fellow Housemates. They are also
not allowed to reveal the location of the cameras and microphones.
Rule 5: Diary Sessions are one of the most important
aspects of the show’s success and are compulsory. Once a Housemate is
called to the Diary Room, they must drop everything they are doing and
proceed to the Diary Room. Failure to do so will result in a fine, “a
strike” or worse. Housemates can request to enter the Diary Room at any
time of the day or night. Sunglasses and hats are not permitted in the
Diary Room. The door for the Diary Room will be locked when not in use
and no one is allowed into the room if it is occupied.
Important to note:
Diary Sessions and Nominations are compulsory and Housemates need to
give valid reasons for nominating a fellow Housemate. Biggie reserves
the right to take his time to answer any questions, but will always
return with an answer. Biggie will not entertain any personal questions.
What happens in the Diary Room stays in the Diary Room and Housemates
cannot discuss anything that happens in the Diary Room. Exceptions to
this rule are events such as Head of House Tasks.
Rule 6: Nominations are important and Housemates are
not allowed to discuss the reasons for their nominations with anyone
other than Big Brother. If a Housemate does so it will be interpreted as
a deliberate attempt to influence others. They are not allowed to
communicate via hints, signs, symbols or written notes. Housemates are
not allowed to enter into any alliance or scheme to plot the downfall of
fellow Housemates. Communication in the house in Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa
and any other local language other than English is not permitted.
