The drama in the first episode of Bigg Boss OTT 3 didn’t quite hit the mark. Poulomi Polo Das’s ongoing complaints about the toilet issue, which she brought up from the moment she stepped on stage, failed to engage the audience. This was followed by a seemingly forced kitchen argument that lacked genuine conflict or entertainment value. Overall, the attempts at creating drama fell flat and did not resonate with viewers.
Episode 2: Content Score – 5/10
In an effort to inject some intrigue into the episode, Bigg Boss introduced a plot twist by making each of the 16 contestants believe there was a traitor among them. This strategy aims to create divisions and foster a sense of paranoia, suggesting a divide-and-rule approach. While this element added some spice, it remains to be seen how effectively it will be executed in the long run.
Episode 2: Emotion Score – 2/10
The emotional quotient of the episode was notably low. Although contestants began sharing their personal and often heartbreaking stories, there was a distinct lack of empathy among them. Most participants seemed more focused on themselves, operating in a self-centered “I, Me, Myself” mode. Genuine connections and bonds appear unlikely to form in this group, at least at this early stage.
Episode 2: Reality Score – 0/10
The behavior of some contestants, particularly Lavkesh and Vishal, was disappointing and unconvincing. Despite being 26 years old, their actions came across as immature and unrepresentative of their real selves. If their conduct is indeed genuine, it deserves a perfect score for absurdity, but as reality TV, it scores a dismal zero for authenticity and relatability.
Episode 2: Hype Score – 7/10
With the show just kicking off, there is a natural buildup of hype and anticipation. High-profile contestants like Armaan Malik and his two wives, along with the Vada Pav Girl and Ranvir Shorey, have captured the audience’s attention. Sana Makbul Khan is also in the spotlight. The initial buzz is strong, and there is hope that the entertainment quotient will increase as the season progresses.
Bigg Boss OTT 3 Final Verdict: 3.2/10
The inaugural episode of Bigg Boss OTT 3 feels like a chaotic gathering of self-absorbed individuals. However, there is potential for improvement. If the contestants can settle down and, as Ranvir Shorey suggested, steer clear of unnecessary conflicts, the show might find its footing and deliver the entertainment viewers crave.
