Bigg Boss is rigged… HT reports

There are two nights to go before the grand finale of the show that has featured budding romances, catfights, multiple entries and exits. Yet to many of us viewers something doesn’t quite add up. Bigg Boss Season Two sparked off one suspicion too many.

The PR machinery that went behind it is one of the worst-ever experienced by HT Café. The spokeswoman would make all sorts of excuses to sweep our questions under the carpet and would keep back information very unprofessionally.

Besides that, there are some aspects of the show that we just couldn’t digest: Surprise surprise: Jade Goody’s arrival was kept under wraps till a day before the show was officially launched. Goody landed in Mumbai on August 16.

Three days later, the Briton ran out of the confession room following a call from her doctor in London, and burst into a flood of tears.

She had cervical cancer. And Goody who had reduced Shilpa Shetty to tears left the House as abruptly as she entered it. She promised to return if her health was okay but there has been no news since.

Woh saat din:
Sanjay Nirupam wanted only a seven-day stay at the House for the ‘experience’. He got it. On August 22, exactly a week since he had stepped in through the gates to be welcomed by Rahul Mahajan, the politician was back on his rounds.

Raja Chaudhary who was pitted against him was, at that stage, hugely unpopular following his break-up with the  Kasauti… star Shweta Tiwari.

Yet, Rajaji bagged bag more votes than netaji. If that’s the way it really is, Nirupam has reason to be worried with elections around the corner. But he seems pretty chilled out.

Six.. and still there:
In 13 weeks, Rahul Mahajan has been nominated for eviction six times. Twice, the votes were declared null and void. Once, in the sixth week, and again in the Diwali week. Oh?

Great escape:
On Saturday, November 15, the four surviving inmates, Chaudhary, Mahajan, Zulfi Syed and Ashutosh Kaushik, attempted a breakout. No one stopped them as they dithered on the wall. A news channel caught them wandering around the Lonavla market (the channel guys were there so conveniently) but the footage was not aired on the show. One just saw the foursome back in the house, regretting their getaway and being fed dinner.
 
So long:
A day later, on Tuesday, Rahul Mahajan refused to apologise and demanded to be allowed to quit. He was granted permission, and Mahajan walked out.

A couple of hours later, smses from the channel’s PR were circulating about a press conference he had called at Lonavla. There was talk that he would say “sorry” and would be accepted back with open arms. Now that would be a hat-trick!

Hindustan Times reports:

We asked former inmate Sambhavna Seth and a cross-section of viewers for their take…

Sambhavna Seth, 27, Bhojpuri item girl and former inmate
I’m a viewer now and I really don’t understand what’s going on. All four of them scaled the walls over a trivial issue like tomatoes and onions. And only Rahul refused to apologise. That’s surprising because usually he’s very prompt with his apologies. I was rooting for him but now if he is evicted, Ashu stands a good chance. Frankly, I don’t care who wins. I will perform at the finale because I’m bound to do that by a contract.

Saad Asghar, 32, banking professional
I am sure Rahul will be back. The Jade Goody episode, Sambhavna’s ouster, the escape.. everything looked staged. The show is a sham!

Romila Lobo, 28, corporate trainer
Rahul’s deeds and misdeeds  on the show have always seemed scripted.. and the latest one is no exception.

Ronak Bhagwat, 30, homemaker
I’m quite sure now that Bigg Boss is rigged and the latest gimmick has only reinforced my impression. Usually, whenever there is any hint of indiscipline, Bigg Boss comes on strongly. But this time his voice didn’t boom out when the four contestants were scaling the walls even though he’s supposed to know everything that’s happening within the four walls of the House. Moreover, why were two cars stationed outside the sets, waiting to pick up Rahul.. considering no one was supposed to know that he intended to walk out?

Akshat Jain, 25, student
These guys are actors. They are being paid to mouth lines. That’s pretty obvious because whenever the TRPs dip, they stage a publicity stunt. They are taking the viewers for a ride by calling for votes. The winner has already been decided.

Angshuman Dutta, 28, businessman
Whenever Raja and Rahul were nominated.. they closed the voting lines. And now, Rahul has suddenly turned self-righteous and is refusing to say sorry. Who are they kidding! Even the ‘escape’ is a gimmick. After spending three months in the House why would they suddenly develop a yearning for ghar ka khaana when the Rs 1 crore booty is up for grabs. I don’t buy it.

Rajendra Patil, 33, visualiser
Everything was planned from day one.  From Jade Goody’s entry to Rahul Mahajan’s exit, it was all scripted. Just watch, either Ashutosh or Raja will be declared the winner.
 
Cauvery Parijat, 27, banking professional
I would have loved to believe that the show is not rigged but recent incidents have been only raised my
suspicions. Rahul was nominated umpteen times.. and was still around. I don’t think he has that big a fan following. I guess, both Raja and he were ‘saved’ because they are popular and the channel couldn’t afford losing either. Then, they brought in Payal (Rohatgi) and Sambhavna for a week because Diana (Hayden) and Monica  (Bedi) were thanda and they wanted masala. The two ladies obliged readily. Then in the recent escape bid, what was going on? Why  was it blacked out..after all, every other controversy  has been given so much airtime.
