The third season of Bigg Boss OTT has failed to garner the same level of interest as its predecessor, Season 2. Despite having a similar format and concept, the show has seen a significant decline in viewership.

Lackluster Contestants
One of the main reasons attributed to the low viewership is the lackluster lineup of contestants. Unlike Season 2, which had charismatic personalities like Elvish Yadav, Abhishek Malhan, and Bebika Dhurve, Season 3’s contestants have failed to connect with the audience.
Missing the Spark
The current season’s contestants, including Ranvir Shorey, Vishal Pandey, and Sana Makbul, among others, have not been able to create the same level of excitement and drama that was seen in Season 2. The absence of a strong and controversial contestant like Elvish Yadav, who was the winner of Season 2, has been deeply felt.
Comparison to Season 2
Season 2 of Bigg Boss OTT was a huge success, thanks to the engaging personalities of the contestants and the intense drama that unfolded. The season saw some of the most memorable moments in Bigg Boss history, including Elvish Yadav’s controversial statements and Abhishek Malhan’s aggressive behavior.
Conclusion
Bigg Boss OTT Season 3’s low viewership is a clear indication that the show needs to revamp its strategy and bring in more exciting and controversial contestants to keep the audience engaged. Until then, the show will continue to struggle to match the success of its predecessor.
Bigg Boss OTT Season 2 has been one of the most successful seasons of Bigg Boss (OTT+TV combined), but the exact viewership and TRP of the season are not publicly available. The show was a huge success and Elvish Yadav emerged as the winner, Abhishek Malhan as the runner-up, Manisha Rani as second runner-up, Bebika Dhurve as third runner-up and Pooja Bhatt as the fourth runner-up.

Bigg Boss OTT is different from Bigg Boss (TV) in several ways:
- Platform: Bigg Boss OTT is exclusively streamed on the OTT platform, while Bigg Boss (TV) airs on television.
- Duration: Bigg Boss OTT has a shorter season duration (around 6-8 weeks) compared to Bigg Boss (TV) which typically runs for 3-4 months.
- Format: Bigg Boss OTT has a more fast-paced and intense format, with daily tasks and nominations. Bigg Boss (TV) has a more relaxed pace.
- Content: Bigg Boss OTT is known for its edgier and more controversial content, while Bigg Boss (TV) is often toned down to suit television audiences.
- Interactions: Bigg Boss OTT allows for more direct interaction between the contestants and the audience through live streaming and social media.
- Rules: Bigg Boss OTT has different rules and regulations compared to Bigg Boss (TV), such as the absence of a “weekend ka vaar” episode.
These differences contribute to distinct viewing experiences for audiences on both platforms.
