Big Brother Naija (BBN) is set to return with its ninth season in July, featuring a fresh format that deviates from the traditional individual participation.
According to the show’s official page, potential housemates must audition with a partner, which can be a friend, family member, or romantic partner.
The show’s organizers have been teasing the new season on Instagram, urging fans to mark their calendars for a Sunday in July. While the exact date remains undisclosed, auditions for season 9 began on March 27, 2024, with a twist requiring participants to apply in pairs.
Meanwhile, Big Brother Africa reality star Tayo Faniran has expressed his displeasure with the show’s current recruitment process. He criticized the show’s organizers for recruiting new stars with unremarkable backgrounds, contrasting it with his experience of multiple auditions over several years before being selected.
“I auditioned for the show in 2009 and only made it in 2014, but today any low life can become popular on the tiny screens. It’s such a shame when the bar becomes too low even a rat would effortlessly jump it,” Tayo said in his Instagram story.
The new season promises to be exciting with its unique twist and partnership requirement. Fans are eagerly anticipating the premiere, which promises to be a thrilling ride.
