I know this is stale news but its better late than never. I just wanna say a big congrats to my boy Ricco for winning the third season of Big brother Africa, he truly deserved to win and all those who are crying wolf, "go and die" (apologies to Uti)...its been a long joly ride and lets be fair and frank, isnt BBA3 all about wild, wicked and wacky, so we got all that in our winner, Ricco venancio from Angola.
I feel so happy and you needed to have seen me jubilate the day he was announced and crowned the winner, yeah yeah yeah, there was a tie and then after counting individual votes, Ricco was announced the winner, the only reason Hazel got close was becos Ricco made some mistakes 2 weeks before and lost some fans, but hey we would rather support an entertainer despite his misdeeds than someone who is outrightly boring (oops).
On Sunday night (November 23), amidst cheering fans and glittering confetti in an electric atmosphere, M-Net’s Big Brother Africa 3 came to a dramatic end after 91 days when Angolan Ricco Venancio was voted to victory by the show’s fans. In a 2-hour finale screened live across the continent on DStv, and featuring performances by gorgeous Jamaican superstars Brick and Lace, the 21-year-old from Luanda scooped the big prize, walking off with a hefty USD 100 000!
From the minute it began the Final of Big Brother Africa 3 looked set to provide an exciting finish to a rollercoaster drama that has kept audiences entertained and engaged for over three months. Kicking off the action were the duo of Brick and Lace, who got the party started with their hit single Never Never!
Then audiences got the chance to catch up with last week’s ninth Big Brother Africa evictee Tawana as she headed home to Botswana for a press conference and her eviction party in Gaborone. Fans also got the opportunity to see South African housemate Thami head onto the dance floor at his eviction party held earlier in the month in Johannesburg.
In addition, last night’s Final recapped the highlights from the series including the Big Brother Africa swap with Finland that saw Zimbabwe’s Munya head off to Europe as Finnish Johan arrived in a ‘snowy’ African house specially prepared for him by Big Brother.
Also featured was the memorable ‘Rubbish Dump’ surprise of week three as Latoya and Tawana found themselves isolated in a Rubbish Dump as they waited to hear which one of them would leave the Big Brother House. Other highlights on the third season of the series included the first ever wedding in Big Brother Africa, the inclusion of older guest housemate Richard Fondom from Cameroon, a special United Nations driven task to promote a greater understanding of the Millennium Development Goals, as well as a ‘fake eviction’ which saw Morris and Thami return to the Big Brother Africa house just moments after leaving it.
Meanwhile, as the series drew to a close, the twelve Big Brother Africa guest presenters said their farewells to the continent whilst audiences were also treated to a last dose of ‘diary room gems’. Also included in the Final was a quick whip around the continent as fans showed that support for Hazel, Munya and Ricco seemed evenly split.
Then, heading onto the Big Brother Africa stage for the very last time, were the nine previously eliminated housemates. Latoya, TK, Lucille, Mimi, Morris, Sheila, Tawana, Thami and Uti, took to the spotlight to take questions from series host KB Ngakane about their time in the house, punctuating their answers with good humor and smiles.
However the Final was all about one question…who would win Big Brother Africa 3?
That question began to be answered when Zimbabwe’s Munya became the tenth person evicted from the show after voting lines closed at 20:00 CAT. Then, as Brick and Lace took to the stage again, with a change of clothing and their crowd-pleasing anthem Love is Wicked, the tension began to rise.
When the time came for the winner announcement, auditing firm Alexander Forbes were on hand to deliver the voting results for KB to announce. The host soon revealed that the results were evenly split with Hazel and Ricco each receiving exactly 6 country votes apiece. Ricco received six votes from Angola, Ghana, Namibia, Nigeria, Tanzania and the Rest of Africa. Hazel also got six votes from Botswana, Kenya, Malawi, South Africa, Uganda and Zambia.
Following the format rules of Big Brother Africa, the auditing firm then consolidated the collective percentages that Hazel and Ricco had each received. At that time, host KB crossed live back into the Big Brother Africa house to make the big announcement. Waiting a few breathless moments, KB announced that it was Ricco who was Africa’s winner!
As Hazel headed outside, she was met by her mom and the cheering approval of the crowd. Then it was time for a thrilled Ricco to head outside as fans roared their support and his family, including his mother, welcomed him back into the world outside the Big Brother doors!
Congrats to all those who made the show rock and hopefully we get to see a better and more interesting BBA yet again,am such a BB addict, maybe we should get BBN this time, what do u guys think?
