Was Botswana given a fair deal in BBR?

FRANCISTOWN: After the eviction of Botswana representative from the Big Brother Revolution (BBR) house, Batswana have cried foul saying that Botswana was one of the countries given a raw deal because she only had one housemate, while others had as many as four housemates.

Botswana was one of the countries that had a single housemate in the house, Kaone Ramontshonyana was evicted last week after being paired with South Africa's unpopular Liz. As he was the only one, Kaone's eviction meant that Botswana's chances were automatically killed. Most Batswana say that after Kaone's eviction they have stopped watching Big Brother because they feel cheated. Countries like Nigeria and Namibia originally had three and four housemates respectively which, viewers say, increases their prospects of winning. One BBR follower, Leslie Thekiso said she had lost interest in the show because there was nothing to watch anymore.

"We had one person in the house and he is out so why would we want to watch it now?" she said.  It was very unfair, said Thekiso, who goes on to say that she is of the view that other African countries look down upon Botswana. "I do not know what it is about this country that makes other African countries not to take us seriously.
