Bigg Boss Season 3, the desi version of Big Brother, comes with unique twists this year making it bigger and better.

For starters we have a brand new host -- Amitabh Bachchan -- whose rich baritone is sure to keep us hooked to the goings on in the house.

Then there are the housemates themselves, a mix of newsmakers including an item girl, a music director, an actress, a comedian and a non-celebrity -- all set to woo you for your votes.

While it's still too early to vote for your favourite, there's no harm in speculating who has the staying power. To make your job easier, we bring the contestants to you. All you have to do is vote who is most likely to stay on till the end.

We begin with Sherlyn Chopra, who continues to hog the limelight with her sexy bikini pictures and famous quotes though her entry into Bollywood with skin-baring flicks such as Time Pass, Naughty Boy, Game and Red Swastik is nothing to write home about.

Last year Bigg Boss 2 slammed the door on her for making bold demands. It was reported that the sexy diva was willing to bathe on camera in return for Rs 3 crore.

In the meantime, Sherlyn tried her hand at singing and launched her first album Outrageous followed by a second one titled Dard-E-Sherlyn. She was seen recently in a big banner film Dil Bole Hadippa.

So will this beauty's oomph factor be enough to take her to the finale? Only time will tell.

Shilpa's little sister started with a hit Mohabbatein. But since then Lady Luck has been evading her.

Recently, she was in the news for her alleged proximity to cricket legend Shane Warne, who captained the Indian Premier League team Rajasthan Royals where her sister Shilpa had a stake.

We all know that Shilpa got lucky with Big Brother. Will Shamita hit the jackpot too?

You may not know her, but her daughter is certainly famous. Yes, she is Rakhi Sawant's mother.

Jaya isn't too happy with her daughter after she wasn't invited for her daughter's Swayamvar. Rakhi fired off with a statement of her own during the finale of Rakhi Ka Swayamvar where she said she would never forgive her mother, and that she is done with her past.

It will be interesting to see what Jaya has to say about her estranged relationship with her daughter.

While Jaya is not a stranger to the arc lights -- she has acted in her son Rakesh Sawant's film Hot Money -- this is her first participation reality show.

Claudia Ciesla
