Secret Story Afrique is a French-language reality competition television show, adapted from the French original television show Secret Story.

Like the original version, although this show is not directly inspired from Big Brother created by producer John de Mol Jr. in 1997, it does have a similar concept while including his own game mechanics and is also produced and owned by Big Brother's production company Endemol Shine Group/Banijay Entertainment.

The show follows a group of contestants from all over French-speaking Africa who live together, isolated from the outside world in a house called Maison des Secrets (House of Secrets), fitted with cameras and microphones in each room.

Each week, a contestant is voted out by the spectators. They also have a secret that they must keep, while also discovering that of the others.

Notes

^ ^a ^b ^c ^d ^e ^f ^g ^h These votes were not broadcast in the Daily Show.
^ Maïmouna's votes count double.
^ Ma & Mota are immune due to Ma winning la Voix's dancing competition.
^ Marlène was not eligible for nomination since she had temporarily left the House for hospitalisation.
^ Kaaty received immediate nomination during the prime-time show.
^ Marlène, after being evicted, chose to immunise Maïmouna.
^ Kitary, after being evicted, chose to immunise Tracy.
^ Bernika receives immediate nomination for having broken one of la Voix's Ten Commandments.
^ Ange, Awa, Gräce & Gloire, Maïmouna, Tracy and Yann-Amir win the Olympiads organised by la Voix and are therefore immunised.
^ This week is themed "tied destinies": the Housemates are grouped into pairs and face quiz challenges to earn points. The two pairs with the fewest points are nominated.
The nominated pairs are Bernika & Grâce and Bériche & Tracy.
Finally, due to Grâce & Gloire being a two-in-one Housemate, Gloire joins Grâceamong the nominated Housemates.
^ La Voix announces that only the Housemate with most votes will be saved from eviction. Eventually, the two Housemates with the fewest votes (Bériche and Grâce & Gloire) are indeed evicted, while Bernika, who received the most votes, is fake evicted and joins a Secret Room for the next week, unbeknownst to the other Housemates, including Tracy.
^ Eviction cancelled due to Tobias walking.
