Bigg Boss 2 Is on

Never has the incipience of nemesis been proven as potently as with the inclusion of Jade Goody in this BIGG Boss season 2 with Shilpa Shetty now as Boss when not so long ago the latter faced racial attacks of the crassiest level from the former at the Big Brother counterpart where Shilpa was a mere inmate. That it helped catapult Shilpa into a league of a Superstar internationally softens the incident drastically.
Reality shows are here to stay. Not an avid idiot box fan, I confess the show has its entertainment quotient graphed high even if it only serves to reflect that we savour our fellow humans making a rollicking spectacle of themselves as the lustful lure of ‘green’ beckons. There is no other sane explanation as to its popularity across the globe, across all demographics, cultures, ethos, countries.
There is a curious mix this season, multifarious mindsets, personalities and backgrounds all 14 of them imprisoned in this bivouac for the next 84 days or thereabouts, depending of course on the eviction each week. Not much interested in second guessing the winner what grabs me is the revelation of inner demons that so accurately surfaces as days go by, unfailingly.
Despite the noble intentions of the inmates on entering this convuluted albeit capacious House, their pugnacious self soon emerges, insiduously triggered by the format of the programme and the sly manoevuring of the programmers.
