The Big Brother Amplified housemates did prove that the house was going to be amplified as most characters seemed wild and controversial when the show was officially opened on Sunday evening.
Two Zimbabweans, Vimbai Mutinhiri and Wendall Parson were chosen to represent Zimbabwe and the two seemed laid-back compared to other housemates.
Mutinhiri though seemed comfortable as she could be spotted singing and dancing along to the tracks played by the Djs during the show’s intervals.
As Big Brother had said, expect the unexpected, the shocker of the night was definitely a white housemate from Zimbabwe, Wendall.
He is a pilot from Harare who says he entered Big Brother Amplified for the challenge and to represent his country. He promised viewers that he would take excitement and suspense to another level.
Mutinhiri was no surprise as her name had already been revealed by MNet a few days before the show launched.
Mutinhiri was the first one to be called into the house by host IK and she proudly strutted her stuff like the true model that she is.
She was then joined by other housemates from other countries, before IK shocked viewers by calling other representatives from 14 countries.
