Bigg Boss Kannada ( ಬಿಗ್ ಬಾಸ್ in Kannada) is the Kannada version[1] of the reality TV show Bigg Boss which is broadcast in India on Viacom 18's Colors Kannada. The show is produced by Endemol, currently through Endemol Shine India[2] who owns the global format of Big Brother. Kannada actor Sudeep was roped in to host the reality show in 2013 for the first season[3][4] on ETV Kannada (now Colors Kannada). Sudeep continues to be the part of the show as of Seventh season in 2019 - 20.[5]

Overview

The 'Bigg Boss' house

A 'Bigg Boss' House is constructed for every season. For the first two seasons, the house was located in Lonavala, Pune district of Maharashtra, where the Hindi version of Bigg Boss usually takes place. As the schedules for the Hindi and Kannada versions were expected to be overlapped, a house exclusive for Kannada version of the show was built at Innovative Film City in Bengaluru, Karnataka for the third season. This continues to be the location of the house for the next seasons of Bigg Boss Kannada as well. The house built for a season of Bigg Boss is retained until the start of next season and is open for public at the venue, serving as an attraction.

The house would be usually well-furnished and decorated. It would have all the modern amenities and a large, common bedroom with beds for all contestants. There was an addition in the form of a luxurious single bedroom for the captain starting from second season. The house would also have common toiletries, swimming pool, gymnasium and spacious gardens. Apart from these, show specific activity areas and a small sound-proof room with controlled entrance called as the 'confession room' is built in the house where the housemates would be called in by the Bigg Boss for nomination process and other conversational activities.[6] A secret room with bed and other facilities was incorporated into the house starting from season 2 where an evicted contestant, if selected by the Bigg Boss to continue the game, would be retained in this room for a week or two and would be put back into the game.

The House has no television connection (except for the day where the show host Sudeep converses with the contestants through the TV), no telephones, no access to internet, no clocks, no articles to write, complying with the rules of Big Brother around the world.

The house was completely reduced to ashes on 22 February 2018, and had to be rebuilt for the sixth season. [7]

Each season gets its own 'Eye' logo similar to the Bigg Boss and Big Brother shows. The first season of Bigg Boss Kannada on ETV Kannada inherited its logo from the sixth season of its Hindi counterpart in the form of a human eye with an eyeball displaying the SMPTE color bars, against a purple background with lightning storm. The second season, moved to Suvarna TV and got its dedicated logo in the form of a more detailed human eye against a background which split the 'hot' (orange) and 'cold' (blue) sides of the personalities in the house. This logo also had the text 'Season 2' inserted below the 'Eye'. The third season returned to the previous broadcaster, then re-branded as Colors Kannada and the logo was adopted from the one used for the first season. The same eye was used against a purple background with a tornado and the season number was not mentioned. Season numbers were omitted to be a part of the logo from this season.

The fourth season had a make-over with the new 'Eye' that resembled a futuristic design, with different elements inside the eye, against a background that uses tech elements and logos from previous season on a dominant blue color. This logo was partially derived from the eye used for the 15th Season of Big Brother UK. The logo used for the 5th Season of Bigg Boss Kannada was adapted from 14th Season of Big Brother UK; shows a pile of old-generation television sets displaying the SMPTE bars hanging at the center from the top, surrounded by multicolored doors, cupboards, lights and windows forming the shape of an eye against a background of an overcast sky with half blue and half brownish orange shade with fireworks behind the eye. For the 6th season, an 'ice-fire' theme was adopted for the logo while the 7th season's logo was adapted from 20th Season of Celebrity Big Brother UK.

House rules

While all the rules have never been disclosed to the audience, the most prominent ones are clearly seen.[8] The inmates should talk in Kannada at all times however, minimal use of English is allowed. The property of the house including the electronic equipment and the furniture should not be tampered or damaged by the housemates. The housemates can not leave the house premises at any time except when permitted to. Sleeping during the day time is prohibited and the contestants are allowed to sleep only when the lights go off in the night. Liquor is abandoned and the housemates with smoking habits can only smoke in the smoking area and are not allowed to smoke in any other parts of the house. A housemate can not assault another housemate physically; failing to follow this rule would result in Elimination the assaulter from the house.

Nomination

Nomination is a mandatory activity, usually taking place on first day of the week in which all housemates need to take part unless directed by Bigg Boss. Each housemate nominates two other housemates for eviction. Housemates getting maximum nomination votes will be nominated for eviction from the house in that week and undergoes public vote (through SMS) for retention. On the weekend episode, usually one contestant with lowest public votes will be evicted from the house. A housemate may also be directly nominated for eviction by that week's captain of the house or for other reasons by the Bigg Boss. Housemates who are awarded 'immunity' can not be nominated by other contestants. Immunity is automatically given to the week's captain and can be earned by contestants through winning specific tasks or achieving secret tasks given by Bigg Boss. Sometimes, the captain can make a contestant immune from nomination upon Bigg Boss' direction. The housemates are not allowed to discuss about the nominations or the nomination process with each other.

House captaincy

The captaincy concept was introduced in the second season. A captain is selected for every week by the Bigg Boss through specific tasks or elected by the housemates. A captain will have additional privileges in the form of immunity from nomination for that particular week, exemption from participating in the task activities and a separate bedroom with facilities more than that of other contestants. The captain will be exempted from nomination procedure for his/her captaincy week and will have power to either nominate a housemate directly or make a housemate immune from nomination or rescue a nominated housemate, depending on Bigg Boss' decisions. Captain's main duty is to supervise the weekly task and make sure the conditions and stipulations are met and task is performed well to procure the 'luxury budget' for the next week. Captains should also keep an eye on house rules and may punish a housemate for violating the rules.

TRP Ratings

The first season of the show became popular[19] and turned out to be a TRP magnet,[20] eventually becoming the No.1 reality show in South India.[21]

Bigg Boss Kannada moved to Asianet's Suvarna[22] (now under Star India) for the second season and grew even bigger in the market.[23][24] The channel claimed an approximate increase of 25% in viewership[25] and 400% in online engagement[26] for the season. The show returned to Viacom 18[27] with Sudeep signing to host the next five seasons.[28] The third season was aired on Colors Kannada (rebranded from ETV Kannada) and witnessed a slight fall in the TRP because of a controversy involving a fellow housemate following his immediate elimination.[29][30] A year later, during the press meet for the fourth season, it was clarified that the TRP fall was a false claim and the ratings actually went up after the elimination.[31]

The fame of the show as of fourth season reached to an extent where the film producers from the Kannada Film Industry and the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce held a protest in front of Innovative Film City in Bidadi, where the Bigg Boss house is located, demanding the actors not to participate or host reality shows on television, also tried to impose a ban on the show because of its popularity affecting the performances of movies in the box office.[32]

The fifth season of the show was aired in Colors Super,[33] the second Kannada GEC by Viacom18 to increase the viewership for the channel. The season premiered on 15 October 2017[34][35] and has been the first season to include non-celebrity housemates selected through online audition process.[36]. The grand finale was held on 28 and 29 January 2018 and Chandan Shetty emerged as the winner.Season 6 of Bigg Boss premiered on 21st October 2018 in Colors Super.After a successful season the grand finale was aired on 26th and 27th January 2019 and farmer Shashi Kumar emerged as the winner,with runner-up being singer Naveen Sajju, followed by Kavitha Gowda, Andrew Jayapaul and Rapid Rashmi in the 3rd,4th and 5th place respectively.Sudeep was the host of this season too.

Controversies

Season 3

In the third season, Huccha Venkat was ejected from the show for breaking the show rules and assaulting fellow housemate Ravi Mooruru. The season witnessed Venkat's opposition to almost every happenings on the show.[37] He claimed to have formed and maintained 'Huccha Venkat Sene' , a civilian army to fight against corruption and ban item numbers in movies. Mooruru had accused Venkat's non-involvement in the house tasks a day before Sudeep's weekend episode.[38] While answering Sudeep's question on the weekend episode, he started to speak about Venkat's claim about the 'Sene' which enraged Venkat to manhandle Mooruru.[39] He continued to slap Ravi until he was dragged away by other housemates causing Ravi to bleed. The act caused Bigg Boss Kannada's first ever Elimination (direct eviction)[40] for Venkat as Sudeep slammed his actions and directed him out of the house.[41] He was escorted out of the house by bouncers.[42] Post eviction, he made statements against Ravi, show host Sudeep,[43] and other housemates including Rehman and Chandan. Sudeep's fans revolted against this and Venkat was made to apologize for his statements against Sudeep on live TV.[44] The act eventually led to Venkat's arrest.[45][46][47] After the season concluded, Venkat and Mooruru have been on good terms.

Season 4

Huccha Venkat was invited on the show as a guest for a task on the 37th day of the fourth season. Pratham, a housemate from the concurrent season and Venkat were involved in a heated exchange of words previously because of Pratham's offer of a cricket bookie role for Venkat in his upcoming film.[48] The issue was shown on news channels during the start of the season and was portrayed that the two do not like each other. During the task on the show, Pratham tried to irritate Venkat with his choice of words only to end up getting assaulted by him.[49] Venkat was escorted out of the Bigg Boss house by the bouncers, for the second time.[50] Venkat said later to the press that he went inside the house once again only to beat Pratham up as he disrespected women.[51] Sudeep, the host of the show disliked these actions[52] and threatened to discontinue[53] as the host of Bigg Boss Kannada unless Venkat apologizes for his actions in public.[54] Sudeep continued to host the show after Venkat appeared on the next episode and apologized in front of the camera. Post conclusion of Bigg Boss Kannada 4, Venkat and Pratham have been on good terms.[55]

Season 5

Samyuktha Hegde entered the house on the 58th day of the fifth season as a guest contestant. Samyuktha assaulted Sameer Acharya, a contestant of the season claiming that Sameer had touched her inappropriately during a task on the 66th day. Sameer demanded for a fair judgement and added that he was ready to walk out of the house proven to have committed the mistake. Both the contestants were called to the confession room and Samyuktha apologized to Sameer for what happened. Samyuktha was ejected from the house on the same day since assaulting a co-contestant is against the rules of the show.[56]
