What’s it about?Tried and tested thrice before on Indian Television,Bigg Boss revolves around the life and trials of 14 strangers locked inside a house. Popular because of all the bitching,backbiting,tears and hook-ups,the show will last 14 weeks. After eliminations and wild card entries,one winner will emerge who would have survived all the tribulations — and it’s in the hands of the common man to vote out or save the contestants. Adapted from the internationally popular show Big Brother,this Indian version has garnered very high TRP ratings every season.

Who’s in it?The host — Dabangg star Salman Khan — is the biggest name on this show. Everyone else is on this show to make a name for themselves — flop Bollywood actor Ashmit Patel,TV star Shweta Tiwari and Sara Khan,Abbas Kazmi — 26/11 accused Kasab’s former lawyer,Bhojpuri actor Manoj Tiwari,26/11 accused David Headley’s alleged friend Rahul Bhatt,bandit queen Seema Parihar and conman Bunty,Pakistani actress Veena Malik,actor Sameer Soni,models Hrishant Goswami and Aanchal Kumar,Pakistani TV host and cross-dresser Begum (Ali) Saleem and reality TV show winner Sakshi Pradhan. A bunch of nobodies,basically inhabit the house this season.

What’s hot?Khan is the only reason you should be watching this show. He has always been charming and witty. But post-Dabangg,he is wittier and funnier. Apart from Khan,the house is pretty,the room is unisex and cushions are colourful.

What’s not?The contestants are boring and ideally they should wear name tags so that the audience will at least know who’s who. In the previous seasons,the glam and interest quotient was higher with well-known faces like Rakhi Sawant,Rahul Mahajan,pop star Baba Sehgal and actor Shamita Shetty. It’s a sad show this time,especially since rumours of controversial Shiney Ahuja and Sangeeta Bijlani being part of the show had raised our hopes.

Should you be watching it?If your sleeping pills don’t work,then yes,it’s a must watch.
