Meet Kenya’s BBA Stargame Reps in ‘Downville’

Big Brother Africa: StarGame, the seventh season of the reality TV show kicked off yesterday in South Africa’s capital, Johannesburg, as Kenya’s representatives were unveiled.

Meet 23 year old Alex, a student from Kiambu and currently studying towards a degree in Computer Science.

The young guy said he was inspired to enter Big Brother StarGame by his brother – and game partner – Malonza. “I found Big Brother will be an opportunity to bond with him,” he told the DSTV Big Brother blog. 

His brother Malonza is single and 22 years of age with favourite musicians including Chris Brown, Sauti Sol and Camp Mulla. He told DSTV that the achievement he is most proud of so far in his life is making it into the Big Brother House.

The two brothers join musician Prezzo as Kenya’s representatives at this year’s Big Brother show that introduces a brand new format of ‘Upville’ and ‘Downville’. Upville is meant to be the house where all the celebrities spend their surplus of 90 days, as ‘Downville’ is where the ‘ordinary’ folk call home as they struggle to make it to become celebrities.

As the two houses were unveiled at the launch, it was clear that ‘Upville’ was more exquisitely designed and furnished than ‘Downville’ which was inspired by a 1950s theme.
