MultiChoice is the chief host of the entertainment show and has promised to give the winner of the show a grand prize of $100,000 with other housemates set to receive breathtaking consolation prizes both inside and outside the house.
The show started on Sunday, January 15, at 8:00 pm on Africa Magic Family (DStv 154) channels, with M-Net and MultiChoice, also running a Big Brother Titans pop-up channel on Channel 198 for the duration of the season.
