what is synonymous to BIG BOSS ?

and I dont want to exaggerate, half its viewers (real life not india forum)  watch bigg boss because of salman khan..or for salman khan.

including me.  there is a reason he is getting almost double this year. the makers realise their show has done wonders because of this most loved superstar in india ;) 

i started watching bigboss since salman started his hosting !! he defenetly pulls the audience !

 before i used to think the show is vulgar and cheap and all shitty and controvrsal people comes in this show... but aftr salman took over , not only its time slot changed from 11:00 to 9 but also it  became almost a family show..salman has a reputation of being in something only whn its suitable for family  and he  completely changed BB..as u said it became classier 

I think more than just providing viewership, Salman really livens up the show - the Weekend ka Vaat format is such that it needs a strong personality, which is why Farah's hosting seemed pretty pale in comparison.

He definitely is a biased host (Tanisha and Armaan in BB7 especially), and the way he indirectly prompts the contestants makes them change their strategies... but at the end of the day, he is probably the best host for BB.👍🏼

Last season, Farah was good but Salman is irreplaceable.
