The one thing you can usually bank on Bigg Boss for is some major drama. But this time around it clearly ran out of steam and turned into a yawn fest! Here’s why the acme of Indian reality TV failed to work for me this season…
I watch Bigg Boss. What’s more, I love it. So much that I prepone my dinner time from 9 pm to 8:30 pm every year during these three months and stop entertaining guests. But I have to say that the guests deserved more attention than Bigg Boss 8. Yes, the eighth season of nation’s most controversial reality show was a major letdown for me. It started with a bang like every year, but unfortunately I got bored soon. Bigg Boss did not manage to entertain me this time because:
The chaotic vimaan- The makers decided to show their creativity in a brand new set they developed for the high voltage reality show. A crashed and grounded plane with tendrils growing around it. And all the 12 contestants were made to stay inside that airplane for about two weeks. The idea was unique, I have to admit, but since the contestants were living under such harsh conditions, half of the time went into cribbing about the lack of facilities rather than interacting with each other. In fact, the first showdown between Gautam Gulati and Karishma Tanna took place only after they entered the house, remember?
Salman Khan not at his entertaining best -In the beginning, it was uncertain whether Salman Khan will host Bigg Boss 8 or not, but to the delight of his legion of fans, the Bollywood superstar returned as its anchor. Ever since the Dabangg star took charge of Bigg Boss, it got into my head that he is the best thing about this show, no matter what. His superstar status makes hosting Bigg Boss equivalent to having Brad Pitt host Big Brother US. However, this time around his disinterest was quite evident every week, which was a major turn off for me. Salman was definitely not at his entertaining best, whoever says otherwise must be kidding themselves.
