| Bigg BOSS 8 - iSuggi |
To put it mildly, after all the media blitzkrieg that preceded the main event, it was a bit of a dampener.
There was a hollow theme -- the show is now an airline called BB 008 that takes its inmates on an exciting adventure -- where it wasn't required, and far fewer high points than a fan of the show would have hoped for.
Salman Khan, dressed in a sequined version of a flight captain's uniform and flanked by backup dancers playing the cabin crew, arrives with much fan fare and a newly achieved decibel level.
The star actor, who apparently returned to the show after much negotiation over its content and format, screams his way through introducing the new BB inmates and several brief appearances by television's popular faces in the course of the show.
The gags are mostly unfunny, where starlets converse in innuendos and Salman acts mildly scandalised and/or amused, depending on who is on the other end of the banter, the musical performances are lacklustre, and the 12 participants rounded up for the eighth season seem far from exciting.
There are three additonal celebrities who form the 'Secret Society' in the Bigg Boss house and whose identities are yet to be revealed (Could this become a successful ploy in upping the ante? Only time will tell).
Former Bigg Boss participants Elli Avram and Armaan Kohli make brief appearances, along with Sunil Grover posing as his hugely popular screen alter ego Gutthi and telly actress Sargun Mehta.
