Notes
Swap with the Big Brother UK house Big Brother Africa contestant Gaetano Kagwa swapped places with Big Brother UK contestant Cameron Stout. Gaetano (known as Gae), a Ugandan law student, was chosen to join Big Brother UK after passing a cocktail-making challenge. He caused upset in the Big Brother UK house when he called contestant Tania "a piggy", causing her to walk off in tears and threaten to leave the UK house for good.
Facts The season was shown in America on the Africa Channel. It aired from November 2008 to March 2009. It was the first non-American Big Brother shown in United States.
It was the only Big Brother from the African series to use its specific eye logo design with the series using a completely different design from season 2 onwards.
