Drama... Galore!!!
Reality shows seem to be the norm of the day. The latest entrant in this arena in the Indian scene, is Big Boss. Based on the popular television show, "Big Brother", Big Boss is the much-hyped Indian version. The format remains pretty much the same, with a group of thirteen people being made to stay in Big Boss's house for a span of three months, with no communication whatsoever with the outside world. No source of entertainment is also allowed to the contestants. Every week, the contestants nominate two among them, who they think need to be evicted from the house. Then, by means of an audience voting system, the spectators (public) are encouraged to send their votes for that person who they feel needs to be thrown out of the contest. The crux being that the person who is not evicted at the end of the stipulated three months, wins the contest and takes home a whole load of cash!
Of course, these contestants are made to perform daily and weekly tasks, as also keep the house spotlessly clean and tidy! One interesting aspect of the show is the "confession room", where each contestant gets a chance to let off steam, about anything and everything! In this Indian version, all the inmates of the house are minor celebrities, and do they let off steam or what!?! If you want to watch backstabbing, politics and gossiping at its very best (worst?), Big Boss is the place to be! The contestants foul mouth each other at every given opportunity, with seemingly little qualms that the camera catches every word and action!
It's amazing how in a group of people, there will, sooner or later, arise friction for even the smallest of things! They fight on such petty issues that they could very well put all the daily television soaps to shame! No wonder that it's said that if you put a bunch of people from different backgrounds and viewpoints together, you can create enough enmity to start a war! I don't think I could ever stay in a place with so many strangers, being completely cut off from the outside world. I would either drive the rest crazy, or go crazy myself!!! Unless, of course, a bunch of us friends are made to live together in a similar manner! Imagine the ruckus we could create then! Are you guys listening? <You know who you are!!!>
