Social Media compares Big Brother Mzansi and Brother in House Zimbabwe with hilarious reactions

In more entertainment news, Briefly News previously reported that a viral video mashup comparing Big Brother Mzansi with Zimbabwe’s new reality counterpart, Brother In House Zimbabwe, has sparked massive online debate.

While the South African version showcased housemates stepping onto a brightly lit, high-energy stage to a roaring live crowd, the Zimbabwean launch featured contestants walking through a dark, empty hallway.

The dramatic budget and production differences prompted Zimbabwean internet users to jokingly plead with the original poster to take the video down out of pure second-hand embarrassment.
