      Overview




      = Concept

      =
      Bigg Boss is a reality show based on the original Dutch Big Brother format developed by John de Mol Jr.. Unlike original Big Brother, Bigg Boss features celebrity and commoner contestants. The contestants (known as "housemates") live in a house that is isolated from the world. Following anonymous internal voting by the housemates and external voting by television audiences, one housemate is "evicted" (removed) from the house each week. During the final week, the final four or five housemates vote to determine the show's winner. The eponymous Bigg Boss character serves as an omnipresent authority figure and represents the show's producers. He often interacts with the housemates to assign challenges and ask questions.


      = House

      =
      For all of the Bigg Boss seasons the house was located at EVP Film City, Chennai. The house is well-furnished and decorated. It has a variety of modern amenities, but just one or multiple bedrooms and four toilet bath rooms. There is a garden, outdoor seating, pool, activity area, smoking zone, gym, jail and lounge room in the house. There is also a Confession Room, where the housemates may be called in by Bigg Boss for any kind of conversation, and for the nomination process. In season seven, the house was split and there was another added confession room.


      = Rules

      =
      Housemates are bound by various rules. For example, contestants must speak Tamil. Tampering with any electronic equipment or other items in the house is strictly prohibited. They may not leave the premises at any time without permission. Physical violence is completely forbidden. Discussing the nomination process with anyone is also not allowed. Housemates must remain awake until the lights go off, and they can only converse outside of the designated smoking area. Additionally, singing is not permitted within the house, nor can they write anything while inside.
      Occasionally, housemates may be nominated for various reasons, including being chosen by individuals with special privileges obtained through tasks, for breaking rules, or for other unspecified reasons. In serious cases, a contestant may face expulsion from the house


      = Airing

      =
      Daily episodes present the main events of the previous day while weekend episodes focus on discussion of the main problems of the week and interviews with evicted contestants. On the Sunday episode the host announces the evicted contestant.


      = Eviction

      =
      Contestants are nominated for eviction each week by their housemates. Viewers cast their votes in favour of the contestants they would like to save from eviction. Each viewer is entitled to cast one vote per day (used to be 50 votes for S1 -S4, 10 votes for S5). The contestant with the fewest votes is out. Contestants who break the rules or who leave the house for medical reasons are evicted. During week 14 or 15 (before finale), Contestants get an option to be evicted from the game by their own decision by accepting the cash prize eviction and self evict themselves.


      = Broadcast

      =
      Bigg Boss is aired on Star Vijay and also available on Disney+ Hotstar. Everyday episodes contain the main happenings of the previous day. Every Sunday episode mainly focuses on an interview of an evicted contestant by the host. The unseen episode will be available as Bigg Boss Unseen on Vijay Music (sister channel to Star Vijay).
      From Season 6 onward, "Bigg Boss" introduced a 24/7 Live Channel for Disney+ Hotstar subscribers. This allowed viewers to enjoy direct engagement with the show’s happenings.
