Kiss 100 presenter Sheila Kwamboka, known as Kwambox, has candidly shared her experiences on the reality show Big Brother Africa, revealing some intriguing details about life in the house.
Reflecting on her participation in the third season of Big Brother Africa in 2008 and her return for the ‘Big Brother All-Stars’ season in 2010, Kwambox described the environment as intense and unique. “The house was like no other,” she said. “There were no directors at the scenes, but CCTV cameras were everywhere, on a 24-hour roll, including in the bathroom.”
Despite the constant surveillance, there were still some limits to the invasion of privacy. “The only exception was the toilet,” Kwambox noted. She added that there was even a dedicated channel for viewers to watch housemates showering, which highlighted the relentless observation they were under. To maintain some modesty, Kwambox shared, “I don’t have a problem being naked in front of other babes, but in front of a camera, no! I would shower with my bikinis on.”
In her conversation on the Mic Cheque Podcast, Kwambox also disclosed the minimal rules in the Big Brother house. “There were no do’s and don’ts, except do not harm another person,” she explained, which allowed for a lot of freedom and interaction among the housemates.
This lack of strict regulations led to various relationships forming in the house. “I made out with a couple of people,” Kwambox admitted. “It’s normal. The first time I was in the house, I was there for 8 weeks; the second time, I was there for three months.” She described the fluid nature of these relationships, saying, “You can imagine, I made out with someone this week because they were cute, but next week I was like, why are you looking at me like that?”
Kwambox’s revelations provide a fascinating glimpse into the behind-the-scenes dynamics of Big Brother Africa, showcasing not just the unique living conditions but also the personal connections and experiences that defined her time on the show.
