Fans of the show (esp. South Africans) immediately took to twitter to lament and protest the results....Most of whom (including Nigerians) claim Luclay was meant to be the second winner instead of Wendall....They attacked The Official Big Brother Africa handle (@BigBroAfrica) with insults and claims of favoritism to Nigerians seeing that Nigerians now hold Key positions in MNET. The programme's producing company and other matters.
Analysts say Wendall the representative from Zimbabwe might have been declared winner to appease the show's Zimbabwean fans after Munya was alleged to have been robbed at last years (Big Brother Revolution) show. There are claims that as at Sunday Morning July 31st (show Finale) on the Big Brother Africa website, The results showed Karen leading, Closely followed by Luclay, then Lomwe and then wendall, Sharon o, Hanni and Vina in that Order but Fans were surprised to see that Wendall has leaped frogged over to second place when the official results were released by big brother.
