Smells of voyeurism!..

If you want your show to climb the TRP charts and became a chartbuster just add a bit of spicy catfights, sex, scandal or gossip. This season Bigg Boss (with extra ‘G*) did it by sprinkling salty sex and spicy umph factor Pamela and everyone knows the result. Viewers are glued in from of their idiot boxes to watch this love, sex and dhoka drama.

A couple of days ago the I&B ministry tried to push Bigg Boss to late time slot of 11 pm, but we can still watch at 9:00 p.m slot. Bigg Boss is like ‘Love me hate me but can’t ignore me’ there are so many viewers who love to hate it and love to love it, whatever they still watch it.

Catfights, sex and scandals new became the unique selling point for a show. They say all the live footage are unscripted and we are supposed to believe it(LOL). Be it steamy Anupama Verma & Aryan Vaid affair in the first season, Payal Rohtagi-Monika Bedi-Rahul Mahajan’s love triangle or the latest ultimate seducer Veena Malik & play boy Ashmit Patel compromising act(which was edited and not aired), kick up viewer’s heels. DO viewers like such type of hot and spicy dish on National TV?.

Philanderer Rahul Mahajan (more appropriate is women hitter) used to give voguish Payal Rohatgi a massage. Swanky Anupama and Aryan just fell short of smooching each other. This time also, after her on the spot affair with a womanizer Ashmit (or ASSSmit), Sara and her long time bloke Ali Merchant spent their wedding night under the scrutiny of hundreds of cameras and the curious eyes of their fellow inmates in the house. Although they know that they were making their private life public , they did deliver it with enough entertainment for the viewers. Ali merchant was trying his level best to control his emotions to a large extent and he even asked sara ‘Kya aap bhi MR. Merchant ki tarah frustrated hai?’.

Inetrnational tadka is also added in form of Late Jade Goody and then by sonsy siliconed Pamela. Though audience were not able to see her coming out of the swimming pool in a two piece, there were enough occasions to play peek-a-boo with her assets that have given her global fame. Pam wearing a sarong and cleaning the floor, her dhak-dhak performance are unforgettable. Bigg Boss dishes out Pammy’s cleavage like hot cakes, again 'Love me hate me but can’t ignore me'.

Controversies have played a big part to make Bigg Boss a Big hit. Right from day one of first season, the show has been enmeshed in hullabaloo, the fights between voluptuous Rakhi Sawant and Kashmeera Shah, the addition of hot property because of wardrobe-malfunction Carol Gracias, I&B ministry banned, or the debates over showing improper content in prime time slot , each and everything was being argued and pondered in the media.

In 2nd season, an actress turned moll of a gangster, a seductress famous for her sweltering scenes in films, a drug addict and women hitter son of a politician, a wife beating, dipsomaniac husband who was being tried in court, are enough to raise controversies. It became more controversial when during the show it was exposed that Rahul Mahajan and Payal Rohatgi were together for some time and now in he was trying to woo Monica Bedi in front of Payal.

In 3rd season Kamal R Khan (sorry KRK as he pompously calls himself, probably he will throw a bottle on me or start abusing me so let’s call him ‘KRK’) abusing the elegant designer Rohit Verma and then thrown out of the house. The drama that he created after being forcibly thrown out was equally dangerous and controversial but then he was called into the show again, because he single handedly upped the ratings of the show and show lost the punch after his eviction.

This season we have an Pakistani actress involved in a controversy, a thief on whom films have been made and a physical fitness expert who was drawn into a terrorism case, lawyer show happily how he defended the hardcore criminals and a Lady Dacot…it was not enough so Pamella Anderson, Khali and Dolly (Bomb) Bindra are locked inside Bigg Boss house as wild card entries.

Most of the viewers enjoyed leering over Pamella Anderson’s assets, Veena Malik Seducing act, Sakshi pregnancy scare and Ali-Sara’s Suhaag Raat on national television. For me it’s like to washing private linen in public, Don’t you think it sets bad examples for our kids?. The entire Bigg Boss is irresistible for viewers of all the ages.
