The Big Brother Africa family is growing and it continues to grow with Meryl and Mwisho who hooked up in the house having their first child. Meryl gave birth to a bouncing baby girl on Monday.

Meryl and Mwisho held their engagement party in the Big Brother house which was seen by over 40 African countries. Meryl has shocked many fans as looking at the way she was playing her game, many dod not expect them to come this far.

They have both had two chances at the Big Brother game and come out without the money but at least they have something out of Big Brother talk of finding love in a hopeless place, said a fan.

Mwisho first appeared in BBA1 and Meryl was a contestant in BBA2 if you remember those days when the game only had 12 housemates and each week saw one leaving the house. Big Brother came up with another twist of bringing back those contestants who had graced the show before. This is how Meryl and Mwisho hooked up.

In total we now have three official Big Brother couples who are Quinn and Jenipher, Kevin and Elizabeth and now Meryl and Mwisho. All the couples have a child at least.

Meanwhile, BBA7 promises even more fire because housemates are all paired...so in most cases there won't be any waiting now that the housemates would be familiar with each other's whateverrrr!

Ethiopia's Big Brother Africa 6 representative was in the country following Liz Coka who visited Phil Okure last year. In the house, Hanni was so close to Lomwe from Malawi.

Ernest and Hanni were spotted in the posh Silk Oxygen looking each other in the eyes. Ernest could not hide the excitement from the time Hanni confirmed to him that she was coming to Ug.

He told a few friends that, "I think I'm excited about this gal coming to town..." and when the gal came you could clearly tell the two had fun because this is what he posted on his wall: "WHOA....'this summer of Ethiopian Love' was EPIC>>>>>>>>>(still hangover) who makes Ethiopian women?"

Ernest did a 'Gaetano move' on Bhoke from Tanzania the night before their eviction and that youtube clip had over 100k views within minutes of its' posting before it was considered inappropriate.

Ernest is now in Mbarara where he works as a presenter at Crooze FM

Big Brother Revolution was that version which had as many as 25 housemates. It had twins Edward and Erasmus who could switch every week by playing as one housemate. It was this very house that the issue of evicting two housemates started of course because of the numbers.

Uganda was represented by Philbert Okure aka Phil and Hannington who was later disqualified for unleashing his wrath on South Africa's Lerato. This is about Phil though. He was evicted on day 21 and he was the fifth housemate to be evicted.

His life in the house was so short lived but he had laid serious strategies with Liz Coka from South Africa who was able to stay in the house up to day 42. The two later caught up at the grand finale and to reflect more on what they had started in the house.

The show ended on December 06, 2009 and five weeks later, Liz was on the next plane to Uganda. This house produced two couples who are now proud parents. Elizabeth Gupta from Tanzania and Kevin Chuwan who also won the Revolution prize of $200,000 hooked up from this house and are now married and are blessed with a baby gal.

Another couple from the revolution house was that of Quinn Sieber from South Africa and Jeniffer from Mozambique who hooked up. Jeniffer noticed the chemistry early and instead opted out of the house. She later caught up with Quinn outside the house and the rest is history..They are now blessed with a child.

The biggest show in Africa is back and in May all will be set to roll for another 91 days. This season will have two representatives acting as one, so you have to be careful when selecting your partner because as you all know this is reality.

Couples in this case will be the best pack to look out for because they will be licenced to spill whatever they got up their sleeves. You can join the show either with you dad, mom, wifey, hubby, best friend, boy friend, girl friend and the list goes on and on...In Uganda, we've heard that curvy Desire Luzinda is going to have another go in this season as well after failing in the previous one..!

Will Desire be going to the telly show with Seya, her ex Ken Ntaro, or the loaded Oga or hook up with a bummy babe to give Africa a run for their money! The deadline for entries is February 27, 2012 so just do it fast.

If you want to grace channel 198 on DSTV come this May, then you can pick up forms from any Multichoice office near you starting on February 05, 2012 or better still log on to www.mnetafrica.com/bigbrother.

M-Net Africa Managing Director Biola Alabi said: "We are thrilled to be offering a huge, new, USD 300 000 prize and to include two new countries who were chosen to participate based on their ongoing interest in the series and their growing DStv audiences.

And while Ethiopia won't have a housemate this year, we'll look to include them and other non-housemate countries in other ways if the opportunity arises, as we do every season.

We are and have always been proudly committed to making this a truly African show. And as for Mozambique, they will be included with a housemate - but that's all we are saying at the moment!"

She goes on to say, "Of course, the really big news this season is that entrants must enter as pairs. In the past we've seen a natural and continuous cross-over between individuals and their families, their friends. So this year, we decided to include that as part of the game. It will definitely make a dramatic addition to the series so we urge people to enter and experience what will be a uniquely different Big Brother Africa!"
