Big Brother Africa is the biggest television show in Africa with viewers in over 20 countries on the continent. It requires a number of young men and women living together in a closed space for over 90 days. They have no outside contacts and they are not allowed to use their phones, computers or even watch television. For the period of the show, the only people they have are themselves and Big Brother.
What makes the show exciting is that after a while, the housemates start to develop relationship amongst themselves. The intrigues and intricacies of these affairs make for good television content and keep viewers glued to their set. The relationship of late Goldie and Prezzo is a very good example of such relationships. It was a big topic on social media for many weeks.
Unfortunately, these relationships made in Big Brother House are usually short lived and they end up in the house. This is not a surprising since the house mates come from different countries on the continent and they all go back to their various countries after the show. Also, contestants in the house are evicted one after the other on a weekly basis. So most times, while one love-bird is evicted, the other remains in the house.
However, there are a few who take their love outside the house and into the real world. Some even go as far as tying the knot on the long run.
See the list of BBA couples below who managed to take their love outside and made it for 2015:
