The 10th edition of the popular reality show Bigg Boss Tamil kick-started on Sunday, September 6, with a sensational premiere episode. As a major highlight, the show began with host Vijay Sethupathi virtually meeting Mohanlal, Kichcha Sudeep and Nagarjuna Akkineni, the hosts of the other three southern Indian editions of Bigg Boss that also premiered on Sunday. The show also introduced an all-new feature of the Bigg Boss Tamil Season 10 house — a Democracy Room, which will dictate how the house will function.
However, the biggest surprise of the premiere was a new concept that gave the in-studio audience the power to vote and send shortlisted contestants to the house. The launch invited an unprecedented 29 personalities to the Bigg Boss stage, where each contestant had to pitch themselves through live introductions before the audience. The audience then decided the fate of these contestants based solely on their introductions, resulting in many eliminations on the launch day.
The 19 contestants who made it to the house include several film and television personalities, but what makes this year’s edition special is that this will be the first edition in the history of the show to have commoners as contestants.
