Bigg Boss, also known as Bigg Boss: Kahin Uski Nazar Aap Pe To Nahi or Bigg Boss: Kadi Nazar, Solid Assarr, is the first season of the Indian reality TV programme Bigg Boss. It aired on Sony Entertainment Television from 3 November 2006 to 26 January 2007, a total of 86 days. Unlike other versions of Big Brother, the Indian version uses celebrities, not members of the general public, as housemates. The first season was hosted by Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi. The 86-episode series ended on 26 January 2007 with Rahul Roy becoming the winner while Carol Gracias became the runner-up.
Production The show is based on the Big Brother format developed by John de Mol. A number of contestants (known as "housemates") lived in a purpose-built house and were isolated from the rest of the world. Each week, housemates nominated two of their peers for eviction, and the housemates who received the most nominations would face a public vote. Of these, one would eventually leave, having been "evicted" from the House. However, there were exceptions to this process as dictated by Bigg Boss. In the final week, there were three housemates remaining, and the public voted for who they wanted to win.
Tasks were set by Bigg Boss each week. The housemates were allowed to gamble on task outcomes and were rewarded with extra money to order more supplies if they won.
