Bigg Boss 17 is all set to premiere on October 15, but we wonder where’s the buzz this year? Be it fan clubs or even the makers, no one seems to be interested in creating hype around the latest season. So, does that mean that the Salman Khan hosted reality show which is known for its drama, fights and controversies has lost its shine? Or is the show no more connecting to the audiences because they feel nothing is ‘real’ on BB?

Well, on same note, we at LatestLY brainstormed a bit and have found out top five reasons why Bigg Boss’ latest season has zero buzz surrounding it. So, let’s get started! Bigg Boss 17: Makers to Introduce New Archive Room Where Contestants Can Revisit Conversations, Fights and More.

Bigg Boss Overdose  

You may agree to disagree, but we feel fans of Bigg Boss are feeling burnt out with back-to-back seasons being 'dumped' on TV and OTT platform. For instance, first Bigg Boss 16 ended in February this year, then we had BB OTT 2 wrapping up like two months back and now it’s Bigg Boss 17 on TV. Isn’t that Bigg Boss overdose?

Blah Contestants Line-up 

Bigg Boss is all about getting different personalities onboard under one roof. However, with television celebs names like Aishwarya Sharma, Ankita Lokhande, Bebika Dhurve, Jay Soni entering the show, where's the diversity? What we mean here is that we miss those days when a politician, LGBTQ+ figure graced the reality show. Bigg Boss 17 Promo: Udaariyaan Actor Abhishek Kumar Set to Enter Salman Khan-Hosted Reality Show As a Contestant!

Tentative Contestants List of Bigg Boss 17:

Marketing Looks Nay

We feel this year even the makers of Bigg Boss seem disinterested in promoting their own show. Apart from the same old teasing promos, there is no hype, nor we say internet bots doing their job. Also, a strong PR or marketing strategy surrounding Bigg Boss 17 is lacking this time... big time.

Couples Vs Singles Theme  

The format of Bigg Boss 17 this time is Couples vs Singles, which can also be one of reasons why viewers are showing thumbs down to the show. To be honest, we already have shows like IRL, Love School, Splitsvilla... so why bring couples on Bigg Boss and ruin its authenticity?

Bigg Boss 16's Flop TRP

While Bigg Boss OTT 2 was hit, Bigg Boss 16 was super flop, thanks to the boring contestants. Other reasons which added to BB 16's misery was its too much focus on Sajid Khan, not enough tasks, favouritism, biased editing and much more. Many even felt that MC Stan, was not a deserving winner of Bigg Boss 16.

Lastly, now it remains to be seen whether Bigg Boss 17 can regain the public's trust. The show's latest season will be airing everyday on Colors TV.
