Surviving BBA 101

With the new Big Brother Africa-The Chase just around the corner (just two weeks away from the launch of yet another season), the crew at Africa Magic tracked the BBA: Amplified Winner, Karen Igho to get a few pointers on how she survived the Big Brother house and emerged a winner.

Karen has been in the house before, and she just has one advice for the new housemates, thus, “be real because Africa is watching and they can tell when you are faking it. Don’t go with a game plan, let God’s plan unveil for you, it is what it is at the end of the day. Good luck to this season’s housemates and may the best man or woman win.”


Why is this important to us as a country? Simple-Ghana will be represented by either a male or a female or both; therefore it is very wise to take up all that Karen has said and be vigilant, aspire and believe that for the first time, Ghana will win.


Read on the full interview she had with Africa Magic, enjoy…


How did you survive the Big Brother house?


Nice question, to be honest I don't know. God kept me going.

Is there anything you did mentally to prepare for the confinement with strangers?


I prayed and I told God 'let your will be done' for I had never watched Big Brother and didn't know what to expect or do.


What kind of clothes should someone who is going into the house pack?


Whatever you are comfortable in and it makes your body look good.


Any tips for keeping your hair looking fresh for longer?

Make sure you take good care of your hair. Hair needs food too which is treatment, washing, steaming, oiling and keep it smelling fresh and nice.


What sentimental items should they bring?


A Bible and family pictures.


How do you make friends and allies once in the house?


I am so friendly people come to me but it's not by force to have a friend. The best thing is to be on your own and be friendly with everyone.

How do you evade being put up for eviction?


LOL, you can't! Everyone goes through that chopping board or hot seat. If you are good they nominate you and if you are bad, the same thing happens, so just keep it real and leave everything to God.


Any last words to housemates going in?


Yes, be real because Africa is watching and they can tell when you are faking it. Don't go with a game plan, let God's plan unveil for you, it is what it is at the end of the day. Good luck to this season's housemates and may the best man or woman win.
