Shilpa Shetty wins Big Brother




Well.... some interesting tidbits that occured during this weekend. Naaah!!! It has got nothing to do with the dismal performance of the cricket team, I am referring to the reality show Celebrity Big Brother. The show, dogged by controversies on alleged racist remarks, finally ended.


Bollywood starlet Shilpa Shetty, at the centre of a raging race row, has been crowned the winner of British reality television show Celebrity Big Brother. The 31-year-old Indian actress burst into tears on hearing she had won the public vote. Shilpa was the firm favourite to win the contest, considered the most controversial in the show's history after she became the victim of alleged racist bullying by fellow contestant Goody.

Runner-up Jermaine Jackson, the brother of pop star Michael, said he was "very happy" as he departed the house.

Switching gears, the very Indian version Big Boss aired on Sony TV reached its climax on Sunday, adjudging Rahul Roy as the winner. He walked away with Rs. 50 lakhs as prize money. Kudos to both of you.
The Final Verdict: Are reality shows meant to be solely for entertainment, just to skyrocket the ratings of the channels, or a show portraying liberal dose of expletives and the likes. Certain reality shows like The Roadies aired on MTV are even worse. You virtually have no choice other than to put the TV on mute and watch the program, courtesy of course, free-flowing expletives used by the contestants throughout the show {you can hear the beep sound every now and then}. What's your take on it?
