Bigg Loser

 Bigg LoserJoy to the world, Nirupam’s gone!

That’s right, Sanjay Nirupam got evicted from Bigg Boss 2 on Friday (finally)!

He deserved it! You can’t participate in a show like Bigg Boss and then act like you’re too cool for school.

All Sanjay did was act crabby and give his two bits to anyone whether they wanted to hear it or not. He didn’t take part in the paper dance because it was ‘undignified’ and then he tells Sambhavana (as if he was her godfather): ‘A woman’s izzat lies in covering up her body. Since item girls have to dance in revealing clothes, why do you do such a job? Indian women are supposed to have a certain amount of shame.’

Then to make things worse, after she got dressed and came into the house (all covered up this time, by the way) he says, ‘My words have brought some change in you. I notice that you have started to wear fully covered clothes now.’

After all the damage is done, once he’s been thrown off the show, he tells Bigg Boss that it wasn’t meant to be a personal comment about Sambhavana - Yeah right! Everybody thinks they can get away with murder if they just apologise after…

Anyway, he seems pretty happy to be off the show and we’re happier to have him off. He claimed that initially when he got there, he missed his work and home very much, but in the past three days he actually started to enjoy himself.

While we’re on the subject of Bigg Boss and politicians, did you hear about Athavale’s men burning effigies of Shilpa Shetty (after destroying the Colors office, that is) because they feel that he was not taken on the show because he’s a ‘Dalit.’ Now, that’s really presumptuous especially in a country like India where we practise positive discrimination. He most definitely owes Shilpa and apology. It most defintely is a crime to burn a beautiful innocent womans effigy.

Looks to me as though someone has a bad case of Iwanttobethatguy. And as far as wanting to be the ‘Bigg Boss of television’ goes, I hate to break it to you Athavle, but you would have been voted out just as soon as Nirupam was because the truth is, you can never be the Bigg Boss of TV with that attitude. You could use your dirty tricks and threaten the channel to make you win but that still wouldn’t make you the Bigg Boss of TV, that’ll just make you a cheater so that means you lose, either way!

Anyway, at the end of the day, I guess I am going to be a little bummed out about Nirupam’s exit because I really enjoyed writing about him!
