In what may pass off as a rush to steal some viewers from the English Premier League, Big Brother Africa is back in a new setting, Lyndhurst, Johannesburg.

Uganda welcomed the show at Faze II in Nakasero with deafening noise for the Ugandan representative Morris Mugisha. If you watched last year's opening you will agree that this one was amateurish and rushed. The stage performers and welcome party looked like they were practising on stage. MTN Uganda is also not part of this year's Big Brother.

The house is better and colours and decor this time give off an African setting. A pool was thrown into the works, replacing the Jacuzzi.

Organizers have promised a wild, wicked and wacky BBA III, so all you voyeurs should brace yourselves. Judging by their looks and ambitions, there is bound to be some profanity in that house.

There is Tawana, 30, from Botswana who confesses, "I hate women, I hate my neighbours." Cat fights in the making? Keep watching.

Mimi, 27, is from Ghana and promised to "roar like a lion", whatever that means. And she knows how to salsa. So let's see if she will click her stilettos into some guy's heart, or bed.

Sheila, 23, from Kenya says she's no ordinary girl and believes has gone to do war in the house. Her beauty and height has already got her into some voters' (Read: Men) good books.

Hazel, 25, from Malawi says she is comfortable in her body. You know what that means, that she will be walking around nude.

Lucille, 21, from Namibia says she is shy but not lacking in confidence.

Latoya, 21 from Tanzania looks like she is this year's Meryl; loud and wild.

All the ladies were let into the house first and they wasted no time kicking off their shoes and getting down to gossip.

Then finally, as if they had gone out of their way to pick good looking men and place them with gorgeous women, the men hot-stepped into the house.

Ricco, 21, from Angola was the first man to enter the house. He loves women and partying and cannot do without these two.

Uti, 25, from Nigeria, says he is a cocktail of personalities, and good eye candy he is, that one!

Tahami, 26, from South Africa says he is the sure millionaire to be made by the show.

Ugandan representative, Morris Mugisha, 29, is clearly one of the two hottest men in the house. The towering and handsome Mugisha is a photographer with Shuttle Speed Studios on Jinja Road. He too loves ladies and life in general. Move over Gaetano!

Tonkodwa, 25, from Zambia loves hip hop and yeah, he tries to rap.

Munya, 22, from Zimbabwe says he is naturally a "hustler" since he is Zimbabwean, hence a winner. He says he comes from a country where inflation is about to swallow them all and if he has survived in such environs, then he will survive in the house.

Sanyu FM's Crystal Newman is the Big Brother field representative for Uganda. In an interview she did with some few Ugandans, they said they expect a lot of drama, character, sex, love and action. Come on Ugandans, where have all the morals run to?

For 91 days, six women and six men will fight to impress viewers for the big prize: 100,000 dollars. The most loved by you, the audience will take the prize home. Catch all the drama on DSTV Channel 198 as housemates fight to escape eviction.
