The first episode had live performances from American rapper J. Cole, Kenyan hip hop group Camp Mulla, Nigerian musicians P-Square, Naeto C, Flavour and Davido, and South African artist Aemo E'Face in the opening ceremony.[2] [3] [4] [5] On Thursday, 14 February 2013; Goldie died at the age of 29 after returning from the Grammy Awards.

Format

There were thirty five housemates this season and lived in two houses. Upville and Downville. Seven of the thirty five were celebrity housemates who lived in the Upville House while the remaining twenty eight lived in the Downville House. The housemates were competing for US$300,000. This season also featured the Random Lottery Nomination where two countries from the Downville House will be nominated for the week and depending on the votes, the survivors will move to the Upville House while the rest are evicted. This year, fourteen countries participated in the season. Each country had two representatives paired up as Big Brother Friends plus seven celebrities from the fourteen African countries. Of the fourteen countries, twelve of them were returning countries while the other two were new ones. The twelve returning countries were Angola, Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The two new countries were Liberia and Sierra Leone.
