Big Boss Bug

Yesterday, I watched Big Boss program on youtube.
Yes, I too fell into the trap of watching the program.
Big Boss is nothing but a copy of the foreign program, namely UK program Big Brother. I remember in late 2006, Shilpa Shetty took part in Celebrity Big Brother and there was a fight between her and a person named Jade Goody and it became a publicity in the press and TV in India. It was as though any attack in the form of racial background became a personal attack to Mother India.
Subsequently, Shilpa Shetty did win the Big Brother that year and it became as though India had defeated England and won Big Brother. So much coverage in the press. That news was everywhere. It was as though Jade Goody needed to "fear for her life" due to the 'racial attack on Shilpa Shetty'. She was in danger 'personally'. Subsequently I think Jade Goody died due to cancer but Shilpa Shetty career was 'resurrected' and she came to dominate the 'scene'. She became a big household name in Indian through TV programs in India and IPL i.e. Indian Premier League for cricket.
Then Indian program for Big Boss was launched. It was the Indian version of Big Brother. Now for six seasons I did not watch the program. But now yesterday, I watched the Big Boss program on youtube and liked it. It is a good way to pass the time. I have also downloaded the episodes of another Colors TV program "Comedy Nights with Kapil" and am watching it. Thus, I may watch the entire Big Boss season this year. I am also bitten by this Big Boss Bug.
I remember in earlier Big Boss season I used to watch occassionally and never have watched an entire episode from the start to the finish. Sunny Leone also made her 'Indian debut' through Big Boss.
Sometimes I have watched a serial named 'Crime Patrol' on youtube. Sometime, if there was a problem watching on TV, I have played a few serials for my wife on the Internet (including youtube). I have also watched IPL 2013 highlights on youtube.
Watching TV programs on internet is fun to watch. I have also watched documentaries and programs from BBC and Australia Network on the Internet.
