Details

Concept

In a specially built home that is cut off from the outside world, contestants who are referred to as "housemates" share a living space. Typically once every week, housemates are voted off until only one is left to compete for the cash prize. Contestants are constantly watched over by live television cameras and personal audio microphones while they are inside the house.

The show uses methods including a scripted, back-to-basics setting, evictions, weekly tasks, competitions set by Bigg Boss, and the "confession room" where housemates talk to Bigg Boss and suggest the housemates they want to remove. All the contestants have to follow a set of rules. These rules include speaking in Hindi, no physical violence, not leaving the house, and no sleeping until the lights are off. At least one contestant is eliminated every week. The nominees for elimination are decided by the contestants themselves. All contestants nominate two contestants for elimination, and the nominees with the maximum votes go for elimination. The final decision of elimination lies in the hands of the public. 

The housemates with the most nominations are then revealed, and fans are given the chance to vote for the nominee they want to keep from being evicted through SMS or online using social media and mobile applications. The winner is determined by who is left standing.The participants are obliged to participate in chores and are given jobs by the Bigg Boss, an all-pervasive figure of authority. The challenges are intended to put the roommates' capacity for cooperation and sense of camaraderie to the test. The luxury budget is a weekly allocation that depends on the completion of specified activities and can be used to purchase luxuries in addition to the supplied necessities.

Tring Review

'Bigg Boss,' once a favored Indian TV show, now disappoints with its perceived bias and scripted content. From turning a blind eye to inappropriate behavior to showing unfair favoritism, it has lost its charm for many viewers. The handling of contestants by host Salman Khan has also received criticism. Despite its attempts to win viewers with sensationalism, closer scrutiny reveals it as a disappointing reality show that fails to live up to its promises of real, unscripted entertainment. One can only hope for improvement in future seasons.

The user has expressed dissatisfaction with the Indian TV show 'Bigg Boss.' They feel that the show in recent years has become pre-decided, heavily edited, and biased, suggesting it's somewhat scripted. They mention a specific instance from season 13, where a contestant displayed violent behavior but wasn't reprimanded. They believe this bias extends to the selection of the finalists and possibly the winner. They also criticize the host, Salman Khan, for his allegedly oppressive attitude towards the contestants and promoting inappropriate content for views and TRPs. They relate that audience votes do not affect eliminations if fan-favorite contestants receive fewer votes. The user feels disrespect towards lesser-known contestants and highlights instances of alleged nepotism. They cite season 15 as an example of favoritism shown towards a contestant, further leading to scripted content. Based upon these faults, the user gave the show a 1-star review, viewing it as a means for generating money rather than providing authentic entertainment.

Conclusion

Bigg Boss is one of the most popular reality shows in India. The audience sees their favourite contestants off-camera and how they look while doing the most mundane things.
