Big Brother Naija has finally come to an end, and with that Showmax’s The Buzz has also wrapped up for the season. And while we know that BBNaija kept you entertained and hooked 24/7 for 10 weeks, we have the perfect replacements for the show. Since one single series cannot replace Africa’s biggest reality show and the most successful Big Brother franchise in the world, we’ve gathered five new shows on Showmax that should come close.
Check out five great reality series you can watch now that your favourite BBNaija is over.
- Temptation Island SA
Would you put your relationship to the ultimate test? These four Mzansi couples are doing just that in Temptation Island SA. They are on a luxurious holiday in paradise amongst 20 sexy single men and women who are looking for love (including Naija-born Dain Ogulu), they must mutually decide if they are ready to commit to one another for the rest of their lives, or go their separate ways and hook up with one of these sexy single persons.
This last taste of the single life will force them to answer the most difficult questions about their relationship, like, “Are we meant to be?” and “Is there someone better out there for me?” Watch it now on Showmax!
The host of the show, Arielle Vandenberg joins narrator Matthew Hoffman for a brand new season filled with more love and romance. A new batch of Islanders has moved into a Villa on the Vegas Strip, each looking to ditch their single status for a real romantic connection. There are plenty of challenges, tasks, and bumps in the road to keep them on their toes, and in the end, only one couple can walk away with a $100 000 cash prize – and just maybe true love.
Love Island will get even hotter when the seventh season of the UK instalment comes to showmax on October 20, 2021. Watch it now!
