To take the elements that audiences find so fantastic and present them in a refreshing new way while adding big surprises and entertaining twists.\u00a0 Amplified is such a well-known pop culture term and Big Brother has definitely become a pop culture success. So the name fits perfectly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With a dramatic new eye, etched in a carbon fibre background with an edgy, futuristic feeling and with a sophisticated polished reflective finish, the newly unveiled show logo sets the scene for a bold new season!<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- google ad injected by adsense-optimizer http:\/\/www.adsenseoptimizer.de --><\/p>\n<p>With the deadline for entries now closed and the next phase of selection now well under way to choose housemates from the 14 participating countries (Angola, Botswana, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe), BIG BROTHER AMPLIFIED is on track to launch in little over a month!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe received an unprecedented amount of entries this year,\u201d says Alabi. \u201cIt\u2019s been truly phenomenal, with almost 7000 written entries received from across the continent and countless more people attending the \u2018last chance\u2019 open auditions.
