Ban Bigg Boss 3? No, say former housemates
Bigg Boss 3 has come under the scanner of the Information and Broadcasting ministry, as they have sent a show cause notice to the producers, against the content being shown. The show has been asked to explain why it should not be taken off air for 'offending good taste.'
But the housemates of the earlier seasons of Bigg Boss have their own opinions regarding the show.
Some of them tell us what they think of Bigg Boss 3, and of course, who the most annoying housemate is.

Bigg Boss 3 is: Entertaining but a little slow. They need to increase the pace but I'm sure it will be better and faster in the coming weeks. With my personal experience I would say that the show makes the contestants popular, not vice versa.
Should Bigg Boss be banned? Why would they (I&B ministry) want to ban Bigg Boss 3? All the vulgarity, nudity, obscenity and abusive language was there in Bigg Boss 2. If they had any problem with Bigg Boss, they should have banned the second season.
Most controversial person in Bigg Boss is: No one. If Sherlyn Chopra doesn't get evicted this week, she might get into some kind of controversy.
The most entertaining people are Raju Srivastav and Vindoo Singh. I know Vindoo personally -- he is totally different in the show. I can't believe that's him! He made fun of me when I came out of the Bigg Boss house last year. He asked me how I could be so loud on the show.
I found him funny in the bathroom when he was singing. I think people change once they are locked inside the house. I am waiting for him to come out. Now it's my turn to make fun of him! I want Vindoo or Raju to win.

Bigg Boss 3 is: Interesting. But the star of the show has been thrown out.
Bigg Boss 3 is better than Bigg Boss 2. But the first season was better than both the seasons.
Should Bigg Boss be banned? I think it's a good show, made by intelligent people. If anyone feels it's vulgar or regressive, they can switch to another channel. When the contestants use foul language, it is beeped out. If the viewers still feel it's not good to watch with their family, who's forcing them to watch? It's ridiculous to say that the show should be banned.
The most controversial person in Bigg Boss is: Kamal Khan. He was the only person, who was confident and honest. He was the star of the show. I don't find Raju Srivastav jokes funny because he copies Johny Lever.
But it's difficult to say who will win. Usually, non-controversial people win the show.

I enjoyed watching the first season because there was novelty. Nobody played games and everyone was real. In second season, people tried to be fake and played games. In the third season too, people are trying to be fake and not showing their real self.
Should Bigg Boss be banned? There are so many shows on Channel [V] and MTV that are regressive and vulgar. Why don't they ban those shows? Bigg Boss is much better than those shows.
I don't think anyone can ban Bigg Boss because it's a popular show with an international format. I am sure the channel and the producers have taken all the measures to run the show successfully. They had sent a notice last year also, because Rahul Mahajan gave a massage to Payal Rohatgi. But nothing could stop them from telecasting the show. I don't think one person can take a decision on what others like.
The most controversial person in Bigg Boss is: I enjoyed watching KRK though it was hard for his housemates to put up with him. Raju Srivastav very entertaining with his punch lines. I want him to win.
Rupali Ganguly
Bigg Boss 3 contestants are: More intelligent. They are either plotting or playing games. In the first season, we had no clue what they were going to show on television. Here, everyone is doing everything for the camera. It's weird to watch people taking to themselves in front of the camera. I don't think we did this in the first season.
Should Bigg Boss be banned? Why does I&B want to ban Bigg Boss? There are many more vulgar and abusive shows like Dadagiri and Desperate Housewives. First, they should ban those shows instead of sending a notice to Bigg Boss. If they find it vulgar, they should stop watching it. They should stop taking decisions for the entire society.
The most controversial person in Bigg Boss is: I think only Bhaktiyar and Raju Srivastav are real in the house. Bhaktiyar is a genuine guy, I know him personally. He is what he is. When we were with Rakhi Sawant in the house, she was irritating for us but entertaining for the viewers -- in the same way that Kamal Khan is entertaining for us and irritating for the housemates. But he was honest and open about what he said.
I think Bhaktiyar will be in the finale. But I have a feeling that a woman will win season three. Shamita Shetty conducts herself very well so she has a good chance of winning.

Bigg Boss 3 is: Less entertaining than the first two seasons. I don't watch it regularly. I feel some of them make a noise just for the camera. There is nothing wrong in that because you are in the show to play mind games and entertain people. I didn't play games so I was evicted from the house. If you look from the business point of view, it is very important to play games and make a noise to make the show successful.
Should Bigg Boss be banned? The show has been done with a lot of hard work and money. It's not easy to ban a show like this. There are a few contestants who try to be loud and use abusive language to get attention. They should be warned because the show is popular and is a family show.
The most controversial person in Bigg Boss house is: Kamal Khan. He is another Raja Chaudhary. I feel he will be brought back to the show as a wild card entry. Everything cannot be fake because a person can put on the mask for only few days; his /her true colours will definitely come out after a week.
Raju Srivastav is very entertaining with his witty remarks. He can win if he plays the game smartly.
