Big Brother Africa 3 is the third series of the "Big Brother Africa" reality television show produced by Endemol. The series began airing on August 24,2008.

As with the previous series, the show involves 12 countries within Africa (Angola, Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia & Zimbabwe) each producing a contestant living in an isolated house in Johanneburg, South Africa, while trying to avoid being evicted by viewers and ultimately winning a large cash prize at the end of the show. The show is filmed in a house at Sasani Studios in Lyndhurst, Johannesburg.

Housemates

Latoya

She comes from Tanzania where she works as a secretary. She is the first evictee of BBA3. Latoya's stay in th Big Brother house was highlighted by her alternating of two male companions. She shared a bed with Ricco at night but was constantly seen attaching herself to Morris during the day. This led several housemates to remark how Latoya was "playing" both of them. Latoya stated several times ,during a private conversation with Munya and while in the rubbish dump for a week with Tawana, that she did not care about how the guys were feeling as she was just having fun.

Lucille

Lucille comes from Namibia and became the second evictee of the show on the 28th of September 2008 (Day 35). Lucille was not initially nominated by the housemates for eviction, but ended up being placed for nomination by Takondwa (of Zambia) who had been nominated but had Head of House priviledges for that week, which meant he could replace himself with any of the housemate. The reason Takondwa gave was that he felt Lucille was the least likely housemate to get voted out by the viewers. Lucille stated in the post-eviction interview that she thought Takondwa was still suspecting her of stealing his cigarettes and that is the real reason he replaced himself with her. Another highlight of the eviction was that Uti (the Nigerian housemate) had a violent outburst when he learned that Lucille was to be evicted

Uti

Uti became the third housemate to leave the Big Brother Africa 3 house on Sunday the 5th of October 2008(Day 42). Uti's frequent teasing of fellow housemates (especially Thami and Mimi) and his violent outbursts probably led the viewers to vote him out. Takondwa (Zambia) stated that he was no longer comfortable with Uti in the house as no one knew what he was capable of doing while in one of his violent outburst. Mimi (Ghana) also suggested the same and added that perhaps it was time for Uti to "go home and relax".

Nominations

Each week housmates nominate two other housemates for eviction in the Diary Room and must give justified and clear reasons. [ [http://www.mnetafrica.com/bigbrother/rules.asp Rules] "Official Big Brother 2 Site" Retrieved 2007-08-26] The Head of House may be nominated for eviction as well. After the nominees are revealed to the House, the current Head of House can save a nominee for eviction including themselves if they are nominated and replace the saved nominee with another nominee. While this is revealed to the viewers, the House does not know of the decision until eviction night Sunday.

Voting

Each eviction week viewers in the 12 participating countries vote to eliminate a housemate they do not like. The majority for each country will be counted as a vote. [ [http://www.mnetafrica.com/bigbrother/rules.asp Voting] "Official Big Brother 2 Site"] In addition to the 12 participating countries, all other countries not participating in the show can still vote for who they would like to eliminate. The "other countries" counts for the 13th vote. [ [http://www.mnetafrica.com/bigbrother/rules.asp Voting] "Official Big Brother 2 Site" Retrieved 2007-08-26]

Head of House

The Head of House (or HOH) is a position in the house that gives one housemate each week special privileges over the other Housemates. It is a power similar to both the Head of Household and the Power of Veto used in the American version of Big Brother. During nominations the Head of House can be nominated for eviction by their fellow housemates. Then the Head of House can chose to save a nominee or save themselves from eviction and nominate a new housemate for eviction. While the decision is released to the public, the House will not know of the decision until Sunday, eviction night.

Nominations Table

A record of the nominations cast, stored in a nominations table, shows how each Housemate nominated other Housemates throughout his or her time in the house. The Head of House can chose to save a nominated Housemate each week and nominate another Housemate to face the public vote. Twists to the normal nominations process are noted, such as immunity from nomination and eviction (referred to as "exempt").

Nomination notes

fnb|1 On Day 2, Housemates were asked to name 2 housemates one of which they would consider their "Hero" the person they would most like to live with for the full 91 days and one that they would consider a "Zero" the person that they thought deserved to leave the house as soon as possible. These nominations did not count and no one was put up for the public vote.

fnb|2 On day 8, Housemates were asked to nominate two housemates for eviction. These nominations did count and Morris and Thami were nominated for eviction but the eviction will be fake. The housemates were not told the nominations were fake. After the nominations were done, the housemates were told which housemates had received the highest number of votes.

fnb|3 On day 21 there was a fake double eviction. The two housemates who have been evicted (Latoya and Tawana), have been sent to the big brother rubbish dump. On day 28, one of them will be evicted permanently, while the other will be returned to the house. The other housemates do not know that one of their housemates will be returning to them.
