Bigg Boss 14: Reload these tricks to pep up a boring season

Bigg Boss made a thundering debut on the small screen in 2006 The controversial reality show has made headlines season after season and has been tagged as one of the highestrated shows on Indian television However it seems the show is devoid of much of its glitter this seasonBigg Boss in India is based on the show Big Brother which was first aired on Dutch TV in 1999 Originally sketched as a social experiment it was designed as The Truman Show in real life Since that day Big Brother format has run 448 seasons in 54 franchise countries and territoriesThe show also drew inspiration from George Orwells dystopian novel 1984 where Big Brother was a fictional character a totalitarian dictator The novel spoke of a future where each and every person would be under constant watch by surveillance cameras even inside their own homes The intention was to generate fear suspicion and insecurity among the masses The show aims at setting up a similar atmosphere within the house among the contestants by placing them in a confined milieu for months under the constant surveillance of CCTV camerasBigg Boss arrived in India with fanfare in 2006 and Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi was the shows first host The show has now run for 14 seasons successfully However things have not been as exciting lately Faced with the threat of ending up with one of the most boring seasons ever the makers have now reintroduced a few older contestants such as Kashmera Shah Rakhi Sawant Vikas Gupta Manu Punjabi Rakhi Sawant and Arshi Khan to spice up thingsCould it be that instead of merely bringing back past contestants the makers should have focused on bringing back a few of the past tricks that made the show so popular among hardcore fansIANS has listed a few key ingredients that made the show legendary in India ones that fans would surely love to see back in the showSecret NominationsBigg Boss when it started was all about gameplay strategy and manipulation The current season is anything but that courtesy open nominations This leaves the show an open playground for politics and trivial quarrels For example a task was given where housemates were asked to nominate openly by using foam on the person they wanted out of the houseUsage of the confession roomIn the preceding seasons the famous Big Boss confession room was accessed by one housemate at a time for nominations in a weekly ritual These nomination shows were watched by millions and added the Xfactor of the show The contestants would be seen talking to the voice of Bigg Boss for rhyme and reasons as to why they are nominating the other housemates Once the nomination process finished Bigg Boss would then announce the names of people who have received the maximum votes and were up for eviction None of the other contestants knew who the other one nominated in the cloak and dagger processThe confession room has only featured once in the 14th season when Rubina Dilaik broke down in the show in the earlier daysSecret RoomFake evictions used to be one of the most interesting segments of the show The fakeevicted contestant would be taken into a secret room where they would be staying for a few days and keeping constant vigilance on what each contestant is saying or doing behind hisher back The secret room created more mistrust amongst the contestants Translated that meant more dramaLuxury tasksThey say that hungry can kill for food Food deprivation has been the root cause of several famous fights over the seasons The luxury task as it was called before had things such as coffee and chocolates among many other things Though in the current season there are sponsorship named tasks for luxury goods Earlier there was a budget A board along with the prices of these goods were given and the contestants had to be in the budget to buy them from Bigg Boss This created a very strong economic system inside the house thereby leading to more feudsJailThe Jail was introduced in Bigg Boss about a couple of years ago Unlike the Red Zone in the 14th season the Jail was for punishing housemates over bad performance in the tasks However in the 14th season the makers came out with a Red Zone which was mainly for those who were being nominated The Jail has not featured so far in the current seasonToplevel contestantsThe contestants have always been the centerpiece of the show Bigg Boss has seen
