This is not a review not a judgement of the show or the people who have been and will be a part of it.
And honestly I myself am a big fan of the hugely popular and largely criticized show.
Just a few days back when I was snooping around the internet trying to find out details of when the new season will start, who will be the house guests etc, I came across the link to be the part of the show. And *sheepishly* I did apply for it.
Not because I want to be on TV or anything but because I wanted to experience that atmosphere where people living with each other only for a few days become thirsty for each others' blood.
I have been following the show ever since it's inception India and in someway or the other I did get either attached to or related with atleast one of the participants.
People say it's scripted, it's controversial, it's negative, they fight for no reason and all sorts of things about the show but let's think about it.
A bunch of people who may or may not know each other personally are put in a house with nothing to do, read, watch and are not even allowed to sleep for more than a fixed number of hours in a day and sometime not sleep at all, with no contact with or about the outside world.
Then there is the concept of nominating someone to evict the house at the end of every week.
If you are too loud people would not appreciate it, if you are too quiet they will doubt your intentions.
And on top of everything the creators of the show put the participants in psychological situations such that they would get into arguments or fights with each other.
Nobody in this world like rejection and the feeling that people don't want to live with you is almost everybody's biggest fear and that is the basis of the whole show. People would judge you for whatever big or small flaws you have in you. The creators bring people of different temperament and of different backgrounds and lock them in together.
Of all the seasons that I have seen the last season (season 5) was the most cringeworthy.
I have seen all the fights of all the season until now but some of the most nasty and useless fights happened in the season, there were moments when probably no-one understood why they were fighting. All sorts of controversies got attached to the show from Salman Khan favoring a particular contestant, to bringing in a pornstar to raise the TRPs. A lot gets speculated as the formula of sustaining on the show, some say you can fight and get footage, so say get into some kind of controversy, some believe that if you joke and "entertain" people is will work, what I believe is if you are yourself and people are able to relate with you there is a big chance of surviving. But there is the biggest factor of popularity. Actors from daily soaps and people with fan following or influence on people are most likely to win.
Given a choice I would really like to be a part of the show and see myself in a psychological situation as difficult as Big Boss.
PS : I love Salman Khan
