The premiere episode of Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 18 will air on Colors TV on 5th October. In the very first episode of the show, Salman Khan will be seen confronting the 18 contestants who have entered the Bigg Boss house. However, this reality show, which has aired daily for more than 100 days, has left other reality shows in trouble. But to challenge this show Prime Video has announced a new reality show and the format of this show will be somewhat similar to the format of Salman’s show. So can this new show of Prime Video expose Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss? Let’s talk about this in detail.
Like Bigg Boss, ‘The Traitors’ is also a celebrity reality show. The show will also not have a panel of judges. Like Bigg Boss, this Prime Video show will also be hosted by the same celebrity. Currently this popular OTT platform of the country has assigned the responsibility of hosting the show to Karan Johar. Like Bigg Boss, this show will house more than 10 celebrities under one roof and one of these celebrity contestants will have to outdo all the others and win the trophy of ‘The Traitor’.

How different will this show be from Salman Khan’s show?
Even though ‘The Traitor’ will be a celebrity reality show like Bigg Boss, there are a few things from its format to its episodes. Salman Khan It will be completely different from a reality show. It will be a short format show, the entire shoot of which will be completed before airing. 25 to 17 episodes will be made from footage from the show’s first season, which will be shot over 14 days in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. Like Bigg Boss, the show will not be based on audience response nor will it include audience voting.
Will Karan’s show expose Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss?
Salman Khan’s ‘Bigg Boss’ has now become a big brand in itself. Even before this, many people tried to challenge this show of Salman Khan. Even Ekta Kapoor and Kangana Ranaut’s ‘Lock Up’ failed to break Bigg Boss’ popularity records despite casting controversial contestants like Munawar Farooqui and Payal Rohatgi. So, it is very difficult for ‘The Traitor’ to stand up to this show.
Advantages of being telecast
In India, so far OTT platforms like Prime Video have not been able to reach Tier 3 and Tier 4 audiences, whose family members still prefer to sit together in the living room at night to watch TV. This is the reason why the reach of TV is still huge compared to OTT platforms. So, it is not only difficult but impossible for Karan Johar’s ‘The Traitor’ to come close to Salman Khan’s ‘Bigg Boss’.
What is the concept of this show?
The reality show ‘The Traitor’ has a completely different concept. The 14 celebrity contestants participating in the show will be divided into 2 groups. Out of these two groups one group will consist of ‘traitors’ and the other group will consist of ‘loyal’ people. The traitors in the show will gradually try to eliminate all the loyalists from the show and the loyalists will have to try to identify who among them is the ‘traitor’ before being eliminated. Out of these contestants, the last remaining contestant will be declared the winner of the show. If media reports are to be believed, many big names like Urfi Javed, Jannat Zubair, Karan Kundra, Jasmin Bhasin, Mukesh Chhabra, Anshula Kapoor can participate in this show.
