BBN is trash.

That hostess girl though.

But how come, I wasn't aware of the application

Best of luck to them

I feel so happy. All those jungle tasks......

Citygal:

You missed the news.

I've missed this show

What a fantastic show, can't wait.

K

Wc station will be showing it ..
I hope they r not expecting people to use data to watch it though

Very gallant and formidable men and women

Like back in the days

Just four ladies Gender imbalance. I wish them safety.

All of u feeling sad that Anthony Joshua lost to usyk,rejoice cos the match was fixed
Usyk said so in hostiptal this morning where he is treating a broken right knuckle he broke on Ajs eye ball..He confessed the match was fixed and he is under investigation


They don't look bad..I hope they entertain us

********I sign in

Nice one , I'm insitu here

Better than the other good for nothing show. Trust Nigerians they will not give it as much audience that they are giving to Big Brother cos they seem to like nudity and promiscuity over intelligence that’s why someone like Buhari is their president.

This is my second slot on front page incase you want to buy

Still about time...

Time to test real grits, intuition, mental capacity and ability to withstand pressure.

A show that even gets the viewers to be on their toes as if they are the ones solving the riddles and tasks.

Finally...

Ok

Not necessarily the plan. The same set of people can enjoy the two.
