as I know, it is unhealthy to watch someone's personal life as entertainment. It's a breach of privacy, regardless of what the participants have agreed to. Even if they've agreed to telecast their lives on TV, is it a decent thing to watch it?
The media is using the curiosity and gossiping habit of society to raise the TRP of their channel. And we are falling into the trap daily.
How many of you agree to this?

Agree with you.Gossiping habit, curiosity for what is happening in others life are the 2 main factors by which Biggboss make people stick to it. It is bad thing to telecast personal life. And also we are wasting our time watching others life. Even I watch Biggboss in Hindi where the contestants are given really high tasks compare to Tamil. Where in Tamil they refuse to give such tasks because of our culture and social behavior differences. It is totally a task and entertainment oriented program, where you have to use your own strategies to be a Bigboss. But in Tamil Bigboss it seems to be a character exposure stage. People judge contestants only by their characters. I think it will be on track after few seasons of Bigboss. However it is an unhealthy program compare to several other programs. It is bitter truth that we are encouraging these kind of programs.

Slandering someone is not the way to win something. They spoil each other's lives in that single show alone. Even the past participants faced such criticism after the show was over because people start judging them.

Yeah, Tamil Bigboss contestants continue to get criticized by people after the show. But in Hindi people understands it is nothing just a game. After show ends, those who played cat fights starts hanging out like friends. They don't take those fights too personal as in Tamil. I think we should change our perception towards the show.

I personally feel like it is a total waste of time! Looking at other people's problem has become a habit to some people lol. And especially that moment when your favorite TV show is replaced by your family to watch big boss. ''THE MOST IRRITATING MOMENT EVER''
