The final quarter of the yr turns into particular for tv audiences as Bigg Boss takes heart stage.
Following the format of Big Brother, Bigg Boss sees a sure variety of celebrities getting locked inside a home for months with no connection to the skin world. Apart from coping with one another’s various personalities, in addition they need to endure duties whereas entertaining viewers, whose votes resolve the winner. This season, the makers struck gold after they acquired small display stars Karan Kundrra, Tejasswi Prakash, and Bollywood face Shamita Shetty onboard whereas present veterans Rakhi Sawant, Rashami Desai and Devoleena Bhattacharjee entered as wild playing cards. However, within the final 4 months, all of the present may obtain have been a number of Twitter traits, which fizzled out as quickly as they began.
The curiosity of the primary few weeks quickly wore off. While Karan, following his good pal Vikas Gupta’s recommendation, emerged because the ‘mastermind’; Tejasswi appeared like a model of bubbly and cute Shehnaaz Gill. Bigg Boss OTT alumni Shamita Shetty, Nishant Bhat and Pratik Sehajpal, in the meantime, have been there to spoil their occasion initially. For all of the format adjustments, the Bigg Boss components, one thing we now have been watching yr after yr for 15 seasons now, took over and viewer fatigue set in.
We immediately noticed a romance (Miesha Iyer-Ieshaan Sehgaal), a brotherhood (Karan Kundrra-Umar Riaz and Vishal Kotian-Jay Bhanushali), bhai-behan connection (Vishal Kotian-Shamita Shetty), two contestants at loggerheads (Pratik Sehajpal-Karan Kundrra) and an individual with desi tashan (Afsana Khan) ). The related form of content material quickly turned the season right into a snooze-fest. Even should you missed a number of episodes, and returned to the present after a few days, it was caught the place it was. It was like watching the rewind of the earlier seasons, with completely different faces taking part in the sport.
For Shefali Jariwala, who entered Bigg Boss 13 as a wild card, and but managed to create an area for herself, there have been ‘no tales’ this season. “Also, I really feel this season was not true to its authentic format. It by no means is sensible why ex-contestants are introduced again. Like many followers, I too felt there was favoritism at occasions which instantly places you off. Random elimination, typically even by housemates or nobody exiting for a very long time additionally precipitated hurt,” she solely instructed indianexpress.com.
Contradicting her ideas, Vikas Gupta says that ex-contestants who enter as challengers are the one one who add spark. For him, this season had fizz solely after Rakhi Sawant entered. “Last four seasons, I have been inside the house. I played the game and did what was needed for the show, even when it meant not trying to win. The reason why this season turned out this way is because no one cared except Rakhi. She played all kinds of characters in the show. Even if you remember, last season till the challengers didn’t come, it was worse than season 15.”
Most followers additionally don’t like the concept of ex-contestants coming again as they’ve already seen their recreation, and all tips they’ve up their sleeves. While Devoleena and Rashami tried to do one thing new by turning foes from their bestie bond, it tanked. Also, Rakhi Sawant, who calls herself the entertainer was given the least rating throughout the just lately held leisure spherical. And it is as a result of viewers had seen her do the identical efficiency final season when she dressed up as a witch and her alter ego Julie. However, Vikas’ claims that contestants have been probably not bothered holds true. The season regarded extra like a paid trip for a lot of as they only ‘chilled’ in the home.
Arti Singh, who was a finalist of Bigg Boss 13, alternatively, stated, “I can’t touch upon what did not work for the season. However, I can say that individuals not benefit from the journey. When we have been on the present, successful the trophy was not our focus. We have been actual and loved every day. Now, all the things revolves round how I can win the present.”
An business insider, who didn’t wish to be named additionally reasoned that not simply Bigg Boss however most actuality exhibits immediately are extra like companies than inventive initiatives. “No one needs to place that effort. Most actuality exhibits are carbon copies of one another. Coming to Bigg Boss, have a look at the duties within the present, it is nearly a revamped model of earlier seasons. There’s a set sample that continues and nobody is concerned to be a differentiator. Kaam chal raha hai na (its working). Creative administrators at the moment are simply me titles as most selections are taken by channels,” they stated.
As Shefali Jariwala talked about earlier, Bigg Boss makers do choose up a number of contestants who they enhance. We could not referred to as it favouritism, because it’s all about doing enterprise. Viewers have seen that out of the 24 hours of content material, when the episode is edited, just a few fortunate ones get most footage. If it wasn’t so, Colors would not have been rooting for Tejasswi and Karan to fall in love, even earlier than they acquired attracted to one another. Most promos fed followers with Tejran content material, a lot in order that many even questioned if their bond was faux.
Shefali Jariwala additionally put up an necessary level saying that the present’s availability across the clock on OTT has labored towards it. “What killed my enthusiasm to look at Bigg Boss is that there was no shock or shock aspect. The present is live-streamed, so all the things is already out there on social media. When I watch the episode, I already know what is going on to occur. Even evictions are out within the open a day earlier than it airs or typically even earlier,” Jariwala stated.
