“Reality TV shows have a reputation for getting dramatic and nasty. That’s not the direction we are taking. We have levels of discipline. Of course, things will happen, considering that these will be individuals meeting and interacting for the first time but nothing out of line will happen,” said Brenda Nanyonjo, Miss Uganda’s Chief Executive Officer.
