Big Boss 2 - Episode 11 - Rakhi evicted. Rahul saved many lives including himself.

It was eviction day today and Shilpa was as bored as ever. She was fantastic in Big Brother but she is nothing comparable to Arshad Warsi, host of previous season of Big Boss. Endemol have started selling this platform for selling movies. C***** Kompany ko promote karne kuch C***** log aaye the. Here C means ‘C Wing’ as explained by Mr. Kapoor (What’s his first name, btw. I am dead serious) or ‘Cupid’ as explained by Shilpa on the show. Stars were added to glorify this nice word. Please excuse me if you took it for something else.

Finally Rakhi was out at the end after some unexpected drama. Sambhavna opened the envelope. It has name of Rahul Mahajan and everyone thinks that he would be leaving. Everyone was giving see off to him. Payal was inconsolable whereas Monica was almost dead with this news. Shilpa announced otherwise then it was turn of Rakhi.

Rakhi got ekdum thanda see off. She was keep in telling (did i say yelling) to everyone not to flow down precious tears for this shocked moment as if there might be flood like situation because of her departure. Real boys (we are not talking about Rahul) must be laughing out loud within themselves. Rona, woh bhi Rakhi ke liye, kabhi nahin.

Big Boss 2 - Episode 10 - Love story blooming. Only few folks are taking centerstage.

I wished yesterday to have some masala in Big Boss Season 2 and here it comes. Big Boss did exactly same thing, what i was looking for. Definitely, this was done to boost TRP because Junta wants to see only masala. Last couple of episodes (or their cameras) are revolving only around Rahul, Rakhi, Monica and Payal. Rest of the folks are probably not doing anything interesting for Big Boss to show.

New love story between Rahul and Monica have been started brewing (No one knows if this is being done only to create interest to save themselves for early eviction). Remember, same sort of story was there in Big Boss Season 1, where Aryan Vaid and Anupama Verma were too close on the set and then everyone knows what happened outside.

Somehow my sixth sense says that all this is artificial. Monica wants to build her career and wants to link herself with someone as popular as Rahul. Rahul wants to keep audience engaged. Payal seems to be ignoring what ever is happening between Monica and Rahul. She shrugs off all complains about Rahul and maintains that it’s his normal attitude. Great attitude, Rahul.

One love story between Sambhavna and Zulfi Syed is almost dead (unless someone rekindle it again). Rakhi thought that there is something between them but Sambhavna made very clear that there is nothing and Zulfi did echo. Rahul is lucky to have two girls on the show and one muhboli sister Rakhi. Anyway, weekly activity got over and they got good budget to eat.

Big Boss 2- Episode 9 - Three divorcees and couple of brewing love story. Ekdum Jhakaas story about Rakhi Tandon, Rahul Mahajan and Raja Choudhary.

Nothing was new in Episode 9 of Big Boss Season 2. Big Boss has to spice up this show otherwise it may lose its charm and sheen. Everyone is involved with Lord Krishna play where everyone is participating in one way or other. Gals (Gopikas) are trying to hide Yogurt pot (Dahi Handi) from the guys (Gwales) whereas Gwales (Krishna’s Pal) finds out the location and hide the same again.

Interesting part of Big Boss is lying somewhere else, which have to be kindled by Big Boss to fire up the show ratings. We have got nice bunch of three divorcees, one breakup and signals of love story. Big Boss just has to concentrate and concoct these together and show episodes with this masala mix. Here is the brief about divorcees and lets discuss about brewing multiple love stories tomorrow.

Raja, Rahul and Rakhi are divorcees whereas Monica Bedi can not be called divorcee but she breaks up with his “most-wanted” boyfriend. Monica has passport where she was shown as Abu Salem’s wife. It is not know if they were/are married.

Rakhi Tandon was in the news for her not-so-amicable divorce.
Rakhi Vij (Tandon) was married to Rajiv Tandon. Rajiv is the brother of Raveena Tandon, ex-actress of Bollywood. They filed for divorce earlier this year. Rakhi was famous for her role as ‘Sweaty’ in ‘Hum Paach’ comedy serial but she took break from idiot box post her divorce.

Shweta Tiwari has filed for divorce from Raja Choudhary. They have got one daughter. Shweta blamed Raja’s heavy drinking for divorce and physical harassment and torture. Raja seems to be was violent, jealous and insecure. He had scuffled with one of the media person and bloke his one of the fingers. Apparently, Raja is also out of money now.

Rahul Mahajan got divorced from Shweta (Another Shweta) Mahajan. They got married year back and they were supposed to know each other since childhood. Shweta was/is air-pilot. No reason was given for quick divorce. It is well known that Rahul is druggist and started behaving oddly after his father’s death. Rahul’s closeness with Payal Rohatgi (Another contestant of Big Boss 2) is probably one of the reasons for this divorce.

Big Boss 2 - Episode 8 - Rakhi Tandon became aloof. Rahul Mahajan and Payal Rohatgi are no more friends but gone bi

Rahul is very much worried about his eviction chances this week. Rahul was found praying to “Lord Krishna” to save him and give him one more chance. Rahul is trying hard to woo the audience to save him from eviction. He is throwing emotions to everyone talking about his past, his father sudden demise and his divorce. He is claiming to be normal human being and not a celebrity. He is blaming media to cover every aspect of his personal life.

Luckily for him, Payal Rohatgi, her close associate for last 7 years, is also in Bigg boss house and providing solace to Rahul whenever she sees him in distress. Just by looking at these couple, one can safely say that they are no more mere friend but gone bit further.
.
It’s sure that either of Rakhi and Rahul will be shown the door this Friday. Rakhi Tandon has still not come out of shock of her nomination. She became aloof and non-responsive. I think, she can also tell the world about her personal life and recent divorce. This way, she can garner few sympathy votes.

My heart tells me to vote for Rahul this week to avoid his eviction but my mind says that Rakhi will be the winner. I can see lots of link coming in my Blog who are looking for Rakhi and her Divorce. It seems that she is bigger celebrity than Rahul Mahajan. Let’s see for the result on Friday.

As part of weekly activity, Rahul has been made ‘Lord Krishna’ whereas Payal accompany him everywhere as ‘Radha’. Rests of the guys are Krishna’s pal and will be doing ‘Dahi Haandi Phod’ on Wednesday. Gals have been “Gopikas” and would be taking part in “Raasleela”.

Episode 7 - Rahul and Rakhi Nominated. Two Groups and few individuals.

As expected, groups have been formed before 2nd nomination process. This time everyone was having enough time to understand each other. Clearly few groups have been formed. Triangle love story is cooking. Rahul was the star of this episode. HIghlights ..... JI hujoor.
  • Rakhi, Monica and Rahul have formed one group and have been found discussing about something (probably nomination process) by Big Boss. Big Boss warned them because they were talking after covering their mike.
  • Sambhavna is defensive as she thinks that she will be one of the person to be voted out. She started accusing Rakhi, Rahul and taking Raja and Ashutosh in to confidence.
    Ashutosh has been named as "Lathmaar" by Rakhi. Why ? Simple yaar. He talks in 'theth' Hindi.
  • Ashutosh has taken Raja Choudhary and Ahsaan Qureshi in to confidence to vote the weed out. There will be time to vote each other but it will be much later. Shambhavna is more or less in this group only. Ashutosh is going to be next big thing in this show.
  • Zulfi, Alina, Payal and Debojit seem to be neutral. Debojit, Payal and Alina are more close to Rahul's group than other. Zulfi can be found at other end of this rope.
  • Considering all this logistics, Rakhi was voted out by 7 participants whereas Rahul gets handsome 5.
  • Both were in shock and trying to tell their part of stories so that "naasamajh" junta will not vote them out.
  • Rahul has been made Kishan Kanhaiya till Wednesday and Payal will be her Radha. Kishan Kanhaiya and his raasleela would the theme of this week. Lots of interesting rules are part of this game. Lets see how things turn up tomorrow. Till then, Good Night. See ya tomorrow.

Big Boss Episode 6 - Sanjay Evicted. Raja Choudhary and Shambhavna Seth are winner at the end.

Tussle between Shambhavna Seth and Sanjay Nirupam ended in bizarre manner. Unexpectedly, Sanjay Nirupam is out of the show in the very first episode provided that he is very popular personality among Bhojpuri speaking community. Probably Bhojpuri speaking fellow Indians went with Shambhavna Seth on this war of words. Why not ? She is the one who entertains them in Bhojpuri film and now she is entertaining whole nation on Big Boss part 2.

Raja Choudhary heaved sigh as he made come back in the show. He got Shambhavna Seth as trusted friend now. Shambhavna got balls to say that she may slap anyone when angry. We know who she is referring to for this slap mania.

It seems that Shambhavna Seth wanted the truth to come out about Rahul Mahajan and Payal Rohatgi relationship. Because of this, she wanted to know if he loves her. Rahul wanted to avoid this question but on her insistence, he said that she is his friend only and he knows her for last 7 years. Hmmm.

Sanjay dodged same question from Shambhavna about his girlfriends in past. He could understand that things may go under his control on his answer so he decided to make a move before …….

Ration is limited in the house because house members failed in weekly activity.

Bigg Boss 2 – Episode 5 Update – Tussle between Shambhavna and Sanjay Nirupam. Group-ism as well as fear of eviction is growing among contestants.

Secrets have started coming out. Raja and Nirupam do not want to go out of Bigg Boss so early. Girls have started bitching and they are talking ill of other fellow girl participants only. Shanbhavna seems to be interesting character and matches the rona-dhona and drama skills of Rakhi Sawant, Kashmira Shah Item girls (Contestants in earlier Bigg Boss show. Both were very famous for their onscreen and off screen rivalry.

Let’s talk about tussle between Shambhavna Seth and Sanjan Nirupam.

Shambhavna Seth has taken Sanjay’s remarks very seriously. Sanjay had spoken about Shambhavna Seth in last episode in full public glare. He told that he was warned not to participate in Bigg Boss where Shambhavna Seth type of contestants would be there. On probing of “type” remarks, Sanjay slipped few words about her being item girl and doing exposing her body to earn money. Shambhavna got pissed off and mentioned that there is no harm in doing this in entertainment business. Later in the same episode, Shambhavna mentioned (but not shown) about Sanjay remarked about her apt attire and gave reason that it might be because of her earlier comments. Being a shrewd politician, Sanjay could have avoided this controversy.

Sanjay is aware of all this back biting by Shambhavna and mention this to Big Boss in confession room that she is one of the dirty fish. There might be more among the fellow contestants. Sanjay is giving his judgment as if he is very clean.

Shambhavna was talking to Raja and doing major rona-dhona and drama about Sanjay’s remarks at 11 PM near swimming pool. Bitching started. No doubt that she was the star of this episode. She confides all these to Raja.

  • Payal Rohatgi is Rahul Mahajan’s girlfriend (?) but still they don’t talk to each other during the show. (It was one of the news that Payal was the major reason behind Rahul’s divorce with his ex-wife Sweta.
  • They have both playing the game and made groups among men and women. She is very sure that she would be the person for next eviction.
  • Rahul Mahajan’s is a big game planner. He came here to win the game. He speaks only after looking at cameras nearby and covers his mouthpiece when talking ills.

Bigg Boss Episode 4 - Bitching and Back-biting Started

It was about to happen and it comes. Bigg boss and big brother format are always famous for back biting and bitching. Why not and what’s harm in doing this? You are in comfortable jail where you are not even allowed to read books, listening to the song, watch television. All these conditions and constraint will surely make any one to take shelter under the cheapest entertainment of the word, Gossiping. I know there is another entertainment in the world, which is called the cheapest entertainment in the human world but this activity is not allowed with in the premise of Bigg boss and no one can hide this act from cameras. Sanjay Nirupam was the Man of the Episode. Highlights of the fourth episode of Big Boss? Here they come.

Monica Bedi tried her level best to get sympathy from audiences. She mentioned that she needs money very dearly. She needs house on rent as no one is giving her a house because of her repo. Sanjay mentioned that he will provide her a house where ever she wants in Mumbai. Obviously, both have to be out of Bigg boss to make this condition true. Wondering how the code/algorithm will look in this case. Please correct me if I am wrong.

While ((Sanjay.out==true) && (Monica.out==true)){
If ((Sanjay.promise.keeps()) && (Monica.needsFlat==true)){
Monica.FlatLocation=”Juhu”;
Sanjay.Promise.Fulfilled.Counter++;
Sanjay.Promise.Forget.Counter–;
Monica.needsFlat==false; //False to karna padega bhai
} else{
//Forget it. Politicians are known for not keeping their promise and//bollywood is known to get audience sysmpathy.
}
} Do (Watch every episode of Bigg Boss till every one is out)
Monica.FlatLocation=null;
Monica.needsFlat==true; //still true if it was not lie
}

Sanjay also promised to help Eleena in selling one of her relative house in Ahmedabad. Another promise. No code/Algorithm for this one.

Sanjay asked Shambhavna Seth the reason for dancing in fewer cloths. He wanted to know what pleasure it gives to her. Are bhai? Why are you asking her? Ask Bhojpuri audience if they are getting pleasure or not. Shambhavna was very annoyed and was always discussing this topic only with most of the females.

Bigg boss warned everyone not to break rules. No one is following weekly activity, which was given few days back. Let’s see what punishment they will receive this time from Bigg Boss.
Rahul mahajan has to be called emotional dustbin. He goes to every one and wanted to know everyone’s not so good memory of their life. He must be Pisceans. They are the one, who can become dustbin like this.

Pictures of Contestants (Participants)





Bit late for this but it's better to be late than never.

Episode 3- Goodbye Jade. See you soon.

This episode was having mix feelings. Most of the contestants were enjoying their time at Big Boss house.Everyone was helping Jade in learning Hindi and she was very keen in learning Hindi words, whatever were coming in her way.

Highlights of Episode 3 were -

Internal Groups have been formed. Girls and boys are usually not mixing in each other.

Monica Bedi and Payal are less visible on camera footage.

As disclosed in my earlier post, Jade was told about her Cancer diagnosis report.

Jade broke down and everyone in the house trying to calm her.

Jade was reluctant in disclosing this news to house mates initially but later informed to Rahul Mahajan on his request.

Rahul told everyone in the house and requested everyone to behave normally.

Jade left the house and mentioned that she will come back if report comes normal.

It's very sad that Jade has to quit. Not good for Endemol and for Colors channel as well. She was one of the highlight in this show. All other participants are lacking Karisma. They do not want to expose themselves too much. They may open up and bitching and back biting may start very soon.

Jade Goody quits the Big Boss show after cancer diagnosis

Jade was called by Big Boss in Diary room late night yesterday and informed that she is diagnosed for Cervical Cancer. Jade was shocked and was in hysterics. She left the show immediately and left for London on Tuesday afternoon. It was shocking news for everyone. She was one of the major attractions for this show.

Jade Goody had gone through few hospital tests earlier. Let’s pray for her early recovery from this. We will surely miss her.

Episode 2 - Eviction process started

It was just few hours in the big boss’s house for everyone. Big boss dropped the bombshell by announcing starts of nomination process for this week eviction. Apart from the nomination process, big boss announced activity for this week. Here are the briefs about nomination process and weekly activity.

· Seven groups of two individuals were formed for this week activity. Jade Goody and Payal are in one group.
· Jade will be out of this week’s eviction (as disclosed in yesterday’s blog in advance) because she is our international guest. Payal will also get same benefit because she opted to form group with her.
· Payal will act as only translator for Jade for English to Hindi conversion and vice versa.
· No one was having any clue or enough time to nominate two persons of their choice for this week eviction.
· As usual, “Jade Goody” was showing drama and emotion (No action) while selecting names for nomination as she was always doing in Big Brother earlier shows.
· Raja Choudhary was nominated by 10 folks (My prediction in my last post is coming true for him.). Sanjay Nirupam got 5 votes. One of these will be out this week.
· As part of this week’s activity, group of two have to tie themselves together using handcuff till Wednesday. They will get relief from this only for 10 minutes per day while using toilet.
· Apart from this, sleep timing for fourteen persons combined can not exceed 100 hours. Only one person can sleep at one point of time. There will be penalty if more than one persons sleep.
· Successful execution of activity will give them double money (budget) for coming week food items else there will be penalty on this budget.
· As usual, bitching has already started among women participants.

Episode 1 - Welcoming the Contestants

Shilpa Shetty made a grand opening of Big Boss season 2 on 17th August and this episode was having limited content, which includes welcoming fourteen contestants, showcasing new house and 2-3 item songs done by few participants. Here is the brief description about contestants, in same sequence as they appear on the show. I will try to update on a daily basis but I will make sure that it is crisp and short.

Quick update: Jade Goody will not be part of first week eviction and she can select one more person from rest of thirteen to avoid nomination. This will make sure that most of the flat mates will be buttering Jade Goody for whole of this week.

Ketki Dave - Television actor. Acted in couple of never-ending soap-operas like "Kyunki Saas bhi Kabhi Bahu thi". May not go beyond five episodes.

Zulfi Syed - Model cum actor. Acted in couple of movies like "Taj Mahal". Looks handsome and wanted to earn fame through this platform. Likely survival between 5-10 episodes.

Monica Bedi - Acted in couple of big Bollywood movies but small role. She was caught by the Portugal police with Abu Salem, a terrorist and mafia king. Extradited to India. Was in Indian Jail for long time. Likely survival between 5-10 episodes.

Raja Choudhary - Ex-husband of Shweta Tiwari (Prerana of "Kasauti Zindagi Ki" tele-serial). Was in news as wife beater. Divorcee now. Looks egoistic and male chauvinist. May not go beyond five episodes.

Rakhi Tandon - Acted in couple of tele-serials. Sweaty of “Hum Paanch”. Chirpy but may not last long. Likely survival between 5-10 episodes.

Rahul Mahajan - Son of late Pramod Mahajan, BJP leader. Rahul was in news for the wrong reasons. Initially for taking lethal mix of drugs with friend. Friend died on the spot. Lately for his marriage with a Pilot and then quick divorce. Keen on pursuing political career. Got company of great guru, Sanjay Nirupam, another famous politician. Likely survival between 5-10 episodes.

Sambhavna Seth - Item girl of Bhojpuri Films. Will she be the deadly mix of Ravi Kishan + Kashmira Shah ? May not go beyond five episodes.

Eshaan Qureshi - Stand up comedian, who got famous from Comedy Circus and like. Not sure how he will stand with other contestants like Jade Goody. May not go beyond five episodes.

Eleena - Only non-celebrity contestant and youngest as well. May not go beyond five episodes.

Payal Rohatgi - Acted in few Bollywood movies and known for her steamy scenes.
One of the likely reasons for Rahul Mahajan’s divorce. Likely survival between 5-10 episodes.

Debojit Saha - Winner of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, song competition for new comers, similar to Pop Idol format. Likely survival between 5-10 episodes.

Ashutosh Kaushik - Winner of MTV Roadies. A Dhabha/Motel owner and Chef. Likely survival between 5-10 episodes.

Sanjay Nirupam - A mature politician and Congress MP. May not go beyond five episodes.

Jade Goody - Written too much about her already. She is arrogant and moody. She doesn’t understand Hindi at all, whereas Hindi would be the official language inside the house. Anyway, she is not her to win this game but to change perception about her. Because of this reason, she will be decent and soft spoken. Let’s see. Surprise Bonus from Big Boss for her. She will not be part of first week eviction.

Exclusive pictures of Big Boss Season 2

Producer Endemol, India has released few pictures of the Big Boss house. This would the same house, where 14 participants will be staying for next 3 months. As per the news, this house is 70 km away from Mumbai. This house consists of Lounge area, atleast two Bedrooms, Kitchen, Dining and Gym.

Jade Goody coming in Big Boss 2

There are confirmed reports that Jade Goody would be one of the participants in Big Boss Season 2. This is claimed by one of the UK based Newspaper but producer Endemol or channel Colors have not confirmed or denied the same. Jade Goody was eager to tell the world that she was never racist. This would be the best chance for her to prove that she is not racist. It was claimed by Newspaper that Jade Goody was not ready to participate as she was not sure how Indian audience or co-participants will react. She is reportedly paid $1,90, 000 to appear in Indian show. I am hoping that she would do well and will be on the show for three months.

This would be a great chance for Indian community to show the world that we regard our guest as god equivalent (Atithi devo bhava) and doesn't believe in tit for tat.

Big Boss 2 - Manoranjan ki Maa (Mother of all entertainment)

Big Boss season 2 will be on your idiot box from 17th August onwards. This will go for next 84 days and would be having 14 celebrities this time. We all are aware that Shilpa Shetty will be the host this time and would be replacing amazing chap Arshad Warsi as Host. No news have come out yet on the probable list of celebrities. I am sure that Endemol India (Producer of the show) would be keeping this secret till the inaugural show on 17th August. Big Boss First Season was moderately hit in India but it was well appreciated by the Indian audience for its innovative format and being the first reality show. I am sure that Season 2 will come up with surprises this time to make this show more interesting to watch.

Shilpa shetty shot to the pinnacle of fame, when she won the Big Brother Reality show (Similar reality show format as Big Boss. Produced by Endemol) in London in Dec 2006. She was the first Indian in Big Brother series in London and was harassed and racially abused by co-participants Jade Goody and her mother. Endemol and channel 4 were criticised by majority of UK audiences for their inaction against public display of visible racism. Shilpa was called "Shilpa Poppadom" by Jade Goody as she was unable to remember any Indian last name. This was the second appearance by Jade Goody in the Big Brother. She was the winner of earlier series of Big brother and was requested to re-participate in another series of Big brother along with her mother and boyfriend. Shilpa managed to gather Sympathy votes from majority of audiences and won the series with clear margin.

Lets wait till 17th August for inaugral episode of Big Boss2. Please visit this site frequently for next 90 days to discuss this show, its format, celebrities and everything else.
