Were we watching a rerun of Bigg Boss Season 7 with new faces, or was it really a new season, with a fresh concept? The problem with casting in accordance with a preset formula for a reality show is that while it might work in the long run, in the short term, as in right at the start, it makes the show boring. And that is what happened last night with the first episode of Bigg Boss Season 8. Aarya Babbar.
Colors channel seems to think that a super cramped setting (the set resembles the interiors of a crashed aeroplane), three contestants (actress Deepshikha Nagpal, actor Puneet Issar and radio jockey Preetam) with powers to lord over the other 12 contestants, and Salman Khan in a pilot's outfit is enough variability from the last season. In a reality show like Bigg Boss, the big surprise is the contestants and they should not be in the same mould as what has been seen in the past season. Unfortunately, the makers seem to have ignored that aspect completely. Besides, Salman Khan looked bored, which is not something you expect from your highly paid celebrity judge at the start of the season.

Big Boss Season 7 had a yesteryear producer's "actor" son who had failed to make a mark in Bollywood. This year we have a politician and yesteryear actor's son who is in the same boat. Will Aarya Babbar have the same anger management issues like Armaan Kohli? Most likely, but will it make for an interesting viewing? Last season had an ex-heroine who started out with big banners but ended up with no work eventually.

This year Minissha Lamba is filling the slot of Tanisha Mukerjee. Lamba claims that she will be the peacemaker in the house and seems to have all the initial I-Am-Ms-Goody-Two-Shoes attributes that Mukerjee had. The only difference being that she doesn't look as fit or glamorous as Mukerjee did and neither does she have a famous Bollywood family on the outside who are uncomfortable with her doing this show. Upen Patel. The romantic pairing has already started. Actor Upen Patel is likely to be the Casanova like Kushal Tandon was last year. Eager to fill in Gauhar Khan's shoes is TV actress Sukirti Kandpal, but she is out of her depth here. Our feeling is that Patel will play the field (housemates include Soni Singh, Karishma Tanna and Sonali Raut), unlike Tandon who stuck with Khan through the season. And the obsession with having a foreign element in the house continues from last season. Will Serbian model Natasha Stankovic, who was seen with Ranveer Singh in a condom advert and has done an item number for the film Satyagraha, fit into Elli Avram's space or will she be like Hazel Keech? We think Stankovic will have a smooth run for the first few weeks, but there are just too many leggy babes (think Tanna and Singh) in this season who will want her out of the frame, fast. Of course, there is the mandatory gay contestant like in the last season but will Mr Gay India 2014, Sushant Divgikar, be a patch on VJ Andy? At present he seems to be sticking to every stereotype there is about gays, including flaunting his legs in shorts, and even in a pink nightgown. Minissha Lamba. The only deviation from the norm is the absence of a married couple (Shilpa Saklani and Apurva Agnihotri, season 7) and a divorced one (Delnaaz Irani and Rajev Paul, season 6) and a social do-gooder (Sampat Pal Devi, season 6). We don't know about you, but we are unlikely to watch the first few weeks of the show while the contestants dance the same dance that we saw last season.
