Cape Town - Just imagine: You have to share a two-bedroom house – equipped with food, toiletries, and bedding for only two people – with 50 strangers. After three weeks in these cramped quarters, one of the housemates wins a massive cash prize.
Trap! Dis my huis is based on the sensational international TV format called Get the f*ck out of my house. The show got viewers talking in the Netherlands, Germany, and Brazil and the Afrikaans lifestyle channel's version of this format will be the first iteration of this format on the African continent.
The challenge lying ahead for contestants is simple: The 50 housemates must spend three weeks in a two-bedroom house without leaving the house. Housemates who feel overwhelmed by the experience have the option of leaving the house and, in the process, the competition at any time. Contestants are also frequently voted out of the house by their fellow housemates.
For the three-week period, the housemates must get by on supplies for only two people, but they will also have the opportunities to obtain more food, toiletries, and bedding for the house. R1 million is saved in the house's money pot, and contestants have the option of using this money to buy supplies for the house. Supplies can also be won by means of mini competitions and games. VIA guarantees the final winner of Trap! Dis my huis will walk away with a minimum of R600 000.
"We're ecstatic about this new format," Izelle Venter, channel head of VIA explains. "We decided it's well-suited to our current zeitgeist – the world is a bit wild, confusing, and an unexpected adventure. And so is this format! What's more, the concept of privacy gets pushed to the limits."
