Season Chronology
Previous Big Brother Africa 8	Next N/A

Big Brother Africa 9 (also known as Big Brother Africa: Hotshots) is the ninth and thus far, last season of the Big Brother Africa series. It ran for 63 days between the 5th of October and 7th of December of the year 2014. Ikponmwosa "IK" Osakioduwa returned as the host of the show for the sixth time in a row. The season was meant to run for 91 days, but the house that was set up for the housemates burnt down and was unusable for the duration of the competition, so the production team revamped another house to make the housemates live there.

Format

Housemate Setup

There were twenty-six housemates this season and all lived in the same house. The housemates were competing for US$300 000. This season, thirteen countries participated and each provided two contestants to be a housemate. Twelve of these thirteen countries were returning countries. These twelve countries were Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The thirteenth country was new to the game. That country was Rwanda.

Head of House

The Head of House was feature that would give one particular housemate special and unique privileges. This would especially come in handy during nominations for they were given a special privilege in terms of adding nominees. Each Head of House for the week would be determined by the Head of House challenges played on that Monday. Whoever wins the Head of House challenge becomes the week's Head of House.

Nominations

Every week, housemates were to nominate two other housemates up for eviction. The housemates who received the most nominations were then put up for eviction. The Head of House must then decide which housemate to add or the Head of House will also face eviction. Unlike previous seasons, if the Head of House was nominated, their name was automatically nullified from the nominees list. Depending on the Head of House's decision, that list will be the housemates put up for eviction that week and Africa will then decide who stays and who goes.

Voting

This season, viewers voted for the housemate they wanted to save. If a housemate received the least votes from Africa, that housemate would be evicted out of the competition. During the finale week, viewers instead voted for the housemate they wanted to win and see walk away with the prize money. The votes were split into thirteen country votes with the Rest of Africa split as the fourteenth vote to split up possible ties.

Twists

A twist is an addition to the Big Brother game that makes the competition more interesting and gives different results and also contributes in changing a housemate's opinion on the game that they are playing. The following twists occurred this season:

Extravaganza

This season, a new task, called The Extravaganza, was added. This occurred every Saturday night. The housemates were split into two teams that were chosen by the Head of House for the week. The teams were each given a specific theme that they had to perform to impress Africa as they will vote for the best performed team. The winning team won immunity for the week while the losing team had to face the nomination dagger.

Week 1

Due to the housemates heading towards the finals, the the Extravaganza didn't carry on from there.

Star-Meter

This season, a twist has been added. It is called the Star-Meter. Each week, IK will ask a question to the viewers on which Housemate qualifies for the asked question.

Return of the Exes

On Day 42, another twist had been added. Ten ex-housemates had returned to compete against the current housemates. Each ex-housemate was from a country that was still competing in the game. The current housemates had to compete to impress Africa to keep them. If the housemate was not good enough for the fans, then that ex-housemate would replace him/her.

These were the ten ex-housemates:

• Peo from Botswana previously competed in Big Brother Africa 6. She returned to compete against Goitse and Sheilla.
• Elikem from Ghana previously competed in Big Brother Africa 8. He returned to compete against M'am Bea.
• Natasha from Malawi previously competed in Big Brother Africa 8. She returned to compete against Sipe.
• Leonel from Mozambique previously competed in Big Brother Africa 4. He returned to compete against Trezagah.
• Uti from Nigeria previously competed in Big Brother Africa 3 and Big Brother Africa 5. He returned to compete against Tayo.
• Luclay from South Africa previously competed in Big Brother Africa 6. He returned to compete against Nhlanhla.
• Feza from Tanzania previously competed in Big Brother Africa 8. She returned to compete against Idris.
• Denzel from Uganda previously competed in Big Brother Africa 8. He returned to compete against Ellah.
• Sulu from Zambia previously competed in Big Brother Africa 8. He returned to compete against Macky 2.
• Vimbai from Zimbabwe previously competed in Big Brother Africa 6. She returned to compete against Butterphly and JJ.

However, this was a prank that Big Brother played to the housemates which will see how the housemates will cope against their competition. The ex-housemates were not competing for the money, but were sent by Big Brother to cause havoc in the house.

They left during the live eviction show on Day 49.
