The second Big Brother in South Africa has just started a few hours ago and it already seems far superior to the UK version.

Already, the housemates have clashed because there' s only two beds in the house and there's 10 of them.

There was supposed to be 12 housemates, but only 10 entered today. The viewers are choosing a male and female housemate to enter next week. The housemates have been given two cats to look after until the new housemates arrive.

The house has a VirtualVault (kinda like a love shack) and housemates must earn B Bucks (BB currency) to get access to a TV and other luxuries.

The Interactive TV service is much more advanced than E4
