Thread: Bigg Boss - Is it healthy for our society? Or something that should be banished?

We all know what is keeping everyone in front of TV recently and that is none other than Bigg Boss 2. Everyone is eager to know what conflicts would arise in the Bigg Boss house. How many of you even like to watch it? Is there anyone who thinks that the programme is not suitable for the society?
as I know, it is unhealthy to watch someone's personal life as entertainment. It's a breach of privacy, regardless of what the participants have agreed to. Even if they've agreed to telecast their lives on TV, is it a decent thing to watch it?
The media is using the curiosity and gossiping habit of society to raise the TRP of their channel. And we are falling into the trap daily.
How many of you agree to this?

And also we are wasting our time watching others life. Even I watch Biggboss in Hindi where the contestants are given really high tasks compare to Tamil. Where in Tamil they refuse to give such tasks because of our culture and social behavior differences. It is totally a task and entertainment oriented program, where you have to use your own strategies to be a Bigboss. But in Tamil Bigboss it seems to be a character exposure stage. People judge contestants only by their characters. I think it will be on track after few seasons of Bigboss. However it is an unhealthy program compare to several other programs. It is bitter truth that we are encouraging these kind of programs.

Exactly! The whole point of this Tamil Bigg Boss is about creating sensational content. The participants compete against each other using nasty tactics. Slandering someone is not the way to win something. They spoil each other's lives in that single show alone. Even the past participants faced such criticism after the show was over because people start judging them.

From the first first season of BIGGBOSS I don't like to watch it, openly say that I feel it's like encourage the people to peek into others window. There is so many issues to discuss, simply it drag the people, make forgot everything and fix bad frame on the people who surrounded us as well. At lest as an entertainer reality show it should make some sense.

Well said. Peeking into others' window! That is the whole concept even if they give it any other polished label...
Privacy means nothing now.

I doubt that. The way the participants react in the show doesn't give us any idea about their character. They are all ordinary human beings and they are put inside an enclosed place with games and conditions.
Even the noblest person would go crazy in that environment. We should be aware of people by getting to know them personally. It's all about perception.

The next thing is that it is like a mirror of ourselves. No one is perfect in this world and some characters in the BB-house may reflect our personality, from that we can correct ourselves and enhance our behaviors as well.
However, the time duration is somewhat too much if you are ready to peek into someone else's life without caring about your job for 1 hour! you are actually wasting your time.
The producers of Tamil BiggBoss are attracted towards the TRP and are promoting useless stuff to attract the audience. They focus more on gossiping and backstabbing 24/7 and not on the tasks.

Maybe watching it helps correct our attitudes. But have you seen anyone become reformed by that single show?
If watching someone's life makes us correct our behaviors, then why go for the show? We live in a society full of different people. Why not learn from the real world itself?
And even the nicest person in the world would start the backstabbing in the bb house.
