Bigg Boss is a reality show based on the original Dutch Big Brother format developed by John de Mol. A number of contestants (known as “housemates”) live in a purpose-built house and are isolated from the rest of the world.
Each week, housemates nominate two of their peers for eviction, and the housemates who receives the most nominations would face a public vote. Of these, one would eventually leave, having been “evicted” from the House. However, there were exceptions to this process as dictated by Bigg Boss.
In the final week, there were three/four/five housemates remaining, and the public voted for whom they wanted to win. The housemates in the Indian version are primarily celebrities with the exception of one who is a non-celebrity selected via auditions.
