Why Big Brother Africa 7 open auditions have come up

In a press statement, M-Net Africa managing director Biola Alabi says the open auditions have come up because they want to give those who failed to send forms a chance to participate.

Alabi said once all the entries were in, Endemol will identify the best entrants who will be invited to a casting session.

The auditions in Malawi will be held at Ryalls Hotel in Blantyre from March 17 to 19.
MultiChoice Malawi regional manager Titania Katenga-Kaunda dismissed suggestions this was done because many people are failing to find partners.
This season, entrants wishing to participate in the television reality show must partner with another person, be it a sister, mother, father, girlfriend, neighbour, landlord or anyone who they are in good terms with.
“That’s not the issue, this has just come up because they want to give a chance to more people to enter especially those who have failed to meet the deadline,” said Katenga Kaunda. The show kicks off on May 6th.

Lotus ran and jumped on Danny, embracing him with her whole body, as he walked into the Tails House after his Eviction from Heads.

The Tails Housemates asked him how he got there and he told them he had been nominated and faced Eviction. He said he wasn't sure if Jossy, who had been on Eviction Row with him, had been sent home or not.

When Danny discovered Tails hadn't Nominated each other, he asked the Tails Housemates what they had been doing the whole week. They filled him in and compared notes from both Houses.

They wasted no time time bombarding him with questions about the happenings in the Heads House.
