# Big Brother Africa season 6

Big Brother Africa 6 (also known as Big Brother Africa: Amplified) was the sixth season of the reality television series Big Brother Africa produced by Endemol for M-Net which began airing on 1 May 2011 and ran for 91 days until 31 July 2011. This year Mnet co-partnered with Coca-Cola for the season. Ikponmwosa "IK" Osakioduwa came back to host the show for the third time in a row. The launch show was also broadcast live through the official website. This year the contestants will move into a brand new house. South African band BLKJKS (Blackjacks) performed their song 'Mzabalazo'; Busta Rhymes also performed during the 2 hour launch show.

## Format

There were twenty six housemates this season and lived in the same house (Heads House) for one week. On Day 7, eleven of the twenty six moved to a different house (Tails House) during the live eviction show. The housemates were competing for US$400,000. On Day 42, it was announced that there were going to be two winners who will each receive US$200,000. This year, fourteen countries participated in the season.
