One time sales consultant and former Big Brother Revolution housemate, Paloma from Zambia also made it to the Show. Paloma hopes to work on her harsh attitude and keep her opinions and ideas to herself.

Code popularly called Coded from Malawi was the fifth to arrive the house. Code promised to surprise himself and double the fun and music in the house, adding that he learnt a lot of lessons the previous time but regrets replacing Tatiana.
The master strategist, Yacob from Ethiopia who became famous across the continent after his appearance on the Big Brother Show said his strategy is to “diversify and be cool with everyone in the  house without picking alliances.”
Sammy B, the 35 year old Ghanaian who featured in the very first BBA and went to host the Channel O music Show 233 for Ghana was the eighth to arrive the house.
