Is 'Big Boss' scripted?
Tuesday, January 16, 2007
Both me and my wife try to catch up on 'Big Boss' - a reality show telecast on Sony, whenever we can. One of the main attractions of the show, for me at least, is that it is 'cheap' (whatever that means). Since I also like Govinda and Shakti Kapoor, you can probably gauge, one of the genre's of entertainment that I dig.
My other pre-occupation while watching the serial, is to find evidence for the nagging suspicion that the show is in fact scripted and not a spontaneous one, as claimed by the producers.
Yesterday, I found one.
It so happens that at the start of the programme, SONY showed a teaser where they showed the sultry Kashmera Shah being smuggled in the house where all the participants are locked in and stealing the ginger which Ravi Kishen likes in his tea. Then the show started with a shot of the participants waking up from their sleep. What does everyone and most of all, Ravi Kishen talk of the exact same morning? Tea of course! He speaks of how he would like a steamy ginger waali chai or words to that effect. What a co-incidence!!!
And who do I think will remain in the house at the end? I think Carol will take the cake, for being the likeable, non-political person, she seems to be.
