    Although they all agreed that Wayoe appears fun and energetic for they show, most of them wish that the 'rastaman' would not continue to use the Jamaican patois, which was very much conspicuous in his introductory remarks during his reveal last Sunday. The father of 2 girls, LLB student lists his greatest achievement in life as making it into the Big Brother house.

    Wayoe enjoys talk shows and soap operas and lists history books as his favourite type of book. Wayoe is proud of his country because it is the gateway to Africa and says the best thing about Ghanaians is their hospitality. If he wins Big Brother Revolution, he plans to spend the money on his education and profession, his musical talents and for charity.

    The launch show kicked off with a banging performance from Somali star K'Naan singing his song ‘Waving Flag’. 12 Male housemates from 12 African countries made it into the Big Brother House. Although the male Housemates have no idea of this, 12 women will be joining them next Sunday. Current Housemates and fans alike will have to wait until next Sunday to see who the women Housemates are.These form part of the exciting twists in this season's competition.
