M-Net and Endemol SA are pleased to announce that due to recent developments, Rwanda has now been re-instated as a participating country in Big Brother Hotshots.
The re-instatement is as a result of the delay in production which led to adequate time being available to process the necessary documentation for the housemates to participate in the reality show. We would like to thank Rwandans and fans across the continent for their patience throughout this process.
We wish Rwanda a spectacular debut onto Africa’s biggest reality show and in the build-up to the launch, fans can look forward to more housemates being revealed in anticipation to Big Brother Hotshots hitting the screens on Sunday 5th October.
This is the first time Rwanda is participating in the reality TV series. Unless M-net and Endamol have another surprise announcement about Sierra Leone, this should be the final reveal before Sunday, bringing the total of housemates to 26 from 13 countries.
Check out their reps Frankie and Arthur.
Arthur
Age: 23
Kigali-born radio presenter Arthur describes himself as “funny, humorous and humble”. He says he loves the fact that he is social and makes friends easily. He enjoys people who are also humble, and dislikes those who are irresponsible.
His favourite foods are rice and beans, his favourite book The Whole Truth, and favourite TV show, Real Husbands of Hollywood. He enjoys Usher’s music and his favourite actor, Kevin Hart, is the star of his favourite film, Think Like A Man Too.
He says that viewers can expect “talent and humour” from him and if he wins, he’ll invest his money in business. What won’t he do to win? “Anything that goes against my human nature”. Arthur believes that “originality” is the best thing about Africa, in terms of its culture.
His favourite place outside the continent is the United Kingdom, “because that place is calm – especially Wales”. Arthur’s role model is Chris Rock, because “he is really good when it comes to comedy and he has helped so many comedians to make it on the market”.
Frankie
Age: 33
Frankie is a singer, model and actor with a degree in financial management. His favourite food is ugali with beef stew and his favourite book is Nelson Mandela’s Long Walk to Freedom. Frankie enjoys the music of Joe Thomas, Luther Vandross and Morgan Heritage and he says he loves “epic movies and romantic comedies”. His favourite actors are Djimon Hounsou, Jamie Foxx, Denzel Washington, Cameron Diaz and Lupita Nyong’o.
He values Africa’s uniqueness and authenticity and lists his favourite place as Kigali – his place of birth. Outside of the continent, he says that Canada is his favourite destination because of all the opportunities there, but also because his son Taye was born there. Frankie considers his parents to be his role models, because “they have gone through lots of tribulations, but love and kindness always blossomed”.

His proudest achievements are graduating from university and when his son was born. Frankie says that viewers can expect “great times full of enthusiasm and adventure” from him and if he wins, he’ll contribute towards building a school in his grandmother’s village and buy a house for his parents, to thank them for everything they did for him.
