The new Show is open to only Nigerians and South Africans.
The first housemate to be unveiled was a 25-year-old South African female called Khosi who described herself as a fun-loving, but ‘serious’.

The second was a Nigerian, Yemi Cregx, who said he was looking forward to learning more about South Africans in the course of the Show.

Other South African housemates are Juicy Jay, Nelisa, Mmeli, Khosi, Ipeleng, Thabang, Yaya, Khehla, Tsatii, and Justin.

Nigerian housemates are Olivia, Blaqboy, Nana, Marvin, Jaypee, Ebubu, Jenni O, Kanaga, and Yvonne.
Expectedly, there has been a lot of buzz about the show, especially as it comes at a time prepares for critical general elections.

John Ugbe, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Multi-Choice Nigeria, organisers of the Show, said its popularity makes it practically inevitable to pair Nigerians and South Africans in one house.

Reacting to criticism that the Show might distract Nigerian youths from the forthcoming general elections, he maintained that Nigerian youths knew their priorities.

“As two of the biggest economies in Africa, it was only a matter of time before something like this would come up. Just like there has been a clash of music genres such as afrobeats (Nigeria) and amapiano (South Africa), there was bound to be something of this nature,” he said.

There was also an announcement by the Independent National Electoral Commission educating Nigerians on the process of collecting their permanent voter cards, in the course of the show.
