Tension and excitement are mounting nationwide as Sierra Leone’s premier reality television show, Housemates Salone, officially kicks off today, October 26, 2025.
The fourth season, themed “Clean Game,” promises intense competition, drama, and a life-changing reward for the ultimate winner.
The grand launch follows weeks of public voting, which officially closes at 6:00 p.m. today. From an initial pool of 42 shortlisted contestants, only those securing the highest number of votes will gain entry into the House — setting the stage for a fierce and emotionally charged start to the season.
With a grand prize of NLe 1,000,000 (equivalent to One Billion Old Leones) and an exclusive trip to Dubai, the stakes have never been higher. The allure of fame, fortune, and opportunity has captured the imagination of fans across the country, many of whom are eager to see who makes it into the House.
The show will be broadcast live on multiple platforms to ensure nationwide and international access. Viewers can tune in on AYV Channel 34, DStv Channel 399, and StarTimes via BSK Channel 200. The program will also be available for streaming on the BSK mobile app, offering flexible viewing options for digital audiences.
Executive Producers Amb. Anthony Navo Jr. of AYV and Shadi Gerjawi of Africell reaffirmed that transparency remains central to the show’s operations. They warned against fraudulent individuals claiming to influence contestant selection, stressing that entry into the House is determined solely by public votes.
“Do not believe anyone who claims they can influence your final qualification or entry into the House. It’s a big lie,” the producers emphasized in a joint statement.
This year’s production boasts upgraded technical standards and key hospitality partnerships with Barmoi Hotel and Fabulous Hotel, which will host international contestants throughout the competition.
Since its inception, Housemates Salone has grown into Sierra Leone’s most-watched reality TV franchise, blending entertainment, creativity, and youth empowerment. Season 4 is expected to raise the bar even higher — testing contestants’ resilience, strategy, and integrity in alignment with the “Clean Game” theme.
As the doors open today, fans across the nation are bracing for surprises, alliances, and the inevitable drama that make Housemates Salone a thrilling social phenomenon.
