This year, fifth in the series, was the closest and biggest. According to show host, Nigeria’s Rhythm FM’ s On-Air personality IK Osakiduowa,  it was a tight race between the final two housemates-27 year old Uti  and Zimbabwe’s Munya Chidzonga.

At the end of the day, eight countries gave their votes to Uti, with seven countries behind Munya who was visibly shocked losing to Uti.

“This year was the closest ever finale with the winner securing the votes from eight countries and the runner up from seven. It was a tight race and the biggest so far with more than a million votes,” IK said.

Among the last five housemates who made it to the finals, Kenyan born Sheila was the first to be evicted. She was followed by Mwisho. The third housemate to leave was South Africa’s Lerato. The plumpy South African babe was so proud of herself being the first South Africa to ever reach the last three of the reality show and said she will cherish the moment for ever.

The show finale was exciting with great performances from Nigeria’s MI, Jesse Jagz, 2Face  and Maye Hunta who performed the Big Brother All Stars theme song “African Star“.
