Big Brother Amplified ended right for most and had a tasteless end for others, Karen and Luclay were the destined winners but fate had other plans for Luclay as Wendall edged him out in an MBGN-esque Miss Taraba way. Aspiring actress and model, Karen Igho from Nigeria and Zimbabwean pilot Wendall Parson, won the 2011 edition of Africa’s most popular reality TV show, Big Brother Amplified. From the tasks to fights to romance to reunions and evictions.
The finale show kicked off with Big Brother Amplified host, Ik Osakioduwa who looked sharp in his grey suit and violet tie. He then introduced his co-host, Channel O-Access VJ, Dineo Moeketsi.
Nigerian “superstar” Wizkid hit the stage in a potent leather jacket paired with skinny jeans. Wizkidconnected with the audience as he hyped up the crowd with his song “Holla at Your Boy“. Another young African star took the baton from Wizzy as Mo’Cheddah performed her song “Ko Ma Roll” dressed in a shiny print babydoll mini dress by Nigerian label April by Kunbi.
IK proceeded to the BBA house where he chatted with the housemate for a few minutes. After that, we were treated to clips which showed highlights from this season of Big Brother Africa – Big Brother Amplified. It was fun to go down memory lane! It was also funny that we had totally forgotten some housemates..oops!
M-Net Africa Managing Director, Biola Alabi provided insight into the decision to choose 2 winners this season and the various reasons why this season of BBA was truly AMPLIFIED. Coca-Cola Nigeria Marketing Director Austin Ufomba talked about the strategic relationhip between BBA and Coca-Cola brands – Coke & Sprite including the music, football and dance focused Sprite Triple Slam competition.
The Amplified Dance Crew rocked the stage with a dynamic performance to various rhythmic African tracks. With the female dancers in white and the male dancers in black, they did well.
Tanzania’s Cpwaa performed his hit “Action” and got the ladies in the audience screaming. His backup dancers added flavour to the performance with their synchronized moves.
And after verification from the Ernst & Young representative, the real action began…
First BBA finale housemate evicted – Vina from Nigeria
Next was Hanni from Ethiopia
Then a twist – the 5 remaining housemates were order out of the house. South Africa’s Professor and Speedy performed before the Top 5 housemates arrived on stage. IK interviewed the housemates and they talked about their favorite moments in house and then showed highlights of their standout moments in the house.
Next to exit was Sharon O from Uganda
Then Lomwe from Malawi
The Amplified Dance Crew performed one more time and Fally Ipupa from the DRC totally enchanted the audience with his “Sexy Dance”.
The performances were entertaining but we were waiting for one thing and that was for IK to announce the WINNERS!
Finally, Ik asked Luclay to stand…he went on about Luclay’s antics in the house. Then the moment of truth – SHOCKER – Luclay eliminiated.
So Karen & Wendall are the winners!

Nigerians are talented naturally – sport, entertainment, fruad, corruption. Nigerians comes first in africa, we are truely giant of africa, just for the bad governance…
U knw I watch big brother every nd I don’t think I will watch it again,I don’t belive those results were real.“Wendall”out of all people even the odents were shocked because we all knw tht it was karen nd luclay.I think big brother made a mistake
Big brother should jus relocate, go hav his show in his nativ nigeria! He must take ths ik guy wit him n leav us in peace! We don wanna b a part of ths big brother crap no mo! Adawise theyl b troubl!
ridiculous!! wendell did nothing, south africans should not participate, ’cause they will never win, ludicrous.
our people can be very funny u kno if a nigerian had not won u’ll get hate mail karen won its same ol bull sh*t her victory had nothin to do with sponsor ok! we need to change our mindset to be able to change our government
Really big brother disapointed me.pls who on earth is wendall wot was his contribution to the show.No doubt about it Luclay should be edged out by wendall if at all.I never use to watch Big brother but this episode actually got my attention but I guess this is the last episode I will ever see.
There was a typographical error.Luclay should not have been edged out by wendall if at all please this is bullshit.
i dnt tnk i will watch the show ever again, i wasn’t pleased with the results and i believe that bigy made a mistake. luclay should have won.
Hi, I am looking for the list of songs that was played on BBA…most especially the one I think is “Winback”. Please correct if I am wrong! Thank You!
The show is about votes, the one with the most simply wins regardless of personal sentiments, Go Wendall Go!!!
I have no problem with Karen winning,infact I’m happy about that.But that Wendall,I’m sorry but I just don’t get how he won.Really Really!!
Let me guess all those that are happy that karen won are mostly nigerianz.well i’m frm Zim and i dnt think karen,wendell or luclay shuld hav won.karen was throwing herself at anything that stands,wendell was boring and luclay is too full of himself.I just dnt see wat pipo saw in those three.
Look i’m for a united africa so its got nothing to do with which country you are from.i’m jus wondering how karen culd hav won coz i thought she was evicted once.jus wat did she do so different voters decided she shuld win.i think next tym we want individual names of the voters.
A FRIEND SENT THIS SO I TOT TO SHARE! Lovers of Bigbrother Africa! As we come to day end of this show today,let’s bear in mind one thing. That season 6 of bigbrother was all about karen. Karen made u feel Good or Bad,made u talk about her good or bad. You watched d show just to see her next stupid action,at every point you watched out for her and she elicited some emotions cos you felt whether good or bad. Each time she opened her mouth,you cringed and dt was the essence of the reality show . She did not bang anyone like Bhoke and kim. She was not a chimney like Weza and Hanni,she didn’t gossip like Vambai,Felicia,millicent or kim. She didn’t nominate her friends like Mubai did. SO WHAT’S HER CRIME? Is it knowing u have to captivate,entertain, hold and glue ur audience to the tv in anyway? Big brother show is not a sunday school morality show. Admiring Zeus was most hilarious and those who knew the essence of the game loved her “Scandalous ways”. How come no one talked about Vina or any other housemate apart from lucay. What did pple see in d furniture housemates like Wendal and Sharon O. We need to stand up for the champion Karen with or without d money. Hip hip hip.*beer*
Lessons to learn from the just concluded BBA :
1. Shit happens (†?? result) :O
2. Being loud is not so bad afterall (Luclay) (y)
3. Virginity still has great rewards(Wendell):)
4. Dying ur hair doesn’t win shit (Lomwe) =))
5. too much ‘fonee’ no dey bring bar (Vina) =))
6. Over-confidence dey dull man (Sharon o)
7. Beauty no really matter (Sharon o):)
8. Snitching kills (Miss P nd Alex) <3:/
15. Nigerians too vote..ahn ahn!!!=))
i think luclay has learnt a good lesson. that you are not superior over others because of your nationality and profession. Humility and and ubuntu were never characteristic of his behaviours.
The truth is, Luclay is the real winner after all with all the publicity he got and still going to get because of this stupid show. Go luclay go .. I’m sure he is the talk of Africa now ..where ever he goes he will definitely fill venues ..
who ever is against wendel and karen must be stupid….they deserved it. watever u dint like bou thenm was their game plan and they won….so kiss arse if u aint happy!!!
BBA is Nigerian, for Nigerians. This show needs to relocate to Nairaland. The cost is Naira. BB is Naira. Previous winners are controversially, Naira! Doesn’t Africa have skill besides Nigeria? Luclay beat Wendall hands down in terms of Entertainment with the keyword here being AMPLIFIED! I’ve no beef with Wendall, I’ve beef with the results which have clearly been doctored to satisfy element
Why is everybody blaming Nigeria that Wendell won instead of Luclay?! These same people can’t produce reasonable arguments why Karen shouldn’t have won! Let’s stop being unnecessary hypocritical and stupid with our comments. If you don’t have anything reasonable to write, just don’t write anything, you guys are crowding up the cyberspace!
nunu is stupid thats all i have to say and oh yeah, luclay will always be better compared to wendbore
wendal winning was fraudulent,he didin,t deserve it period!
i still think luclay should have won wendull was so boring we are tired of the people who just walk their way to the prize becouse he brought us zero entartainment luclay might have been full of himself but he entertained throught his stay in the house in the house and thats final.
