Amitabh Bachchan has once again shown who the top star from Bollywood is. His Big Boss 3 on Colors which was going head to head Sunday against the Om Shanti Om/Main Hoon Naa team of Farah Khan-Shahrukh Khan on Star Plus on October 4, outdrew Shah Rukh Khan on Farah Khan on her Tere Mere Beach Mein on Star Plus in national ratings.
According to overnight ratings released by aMAP overnight tv ratings meter, the topper of Sunday, Big Boss3 net reach rating was a 6.0 while the Farah Khan hosted Tere Mere Beach Mein, which had surprisingly pitted Shah Rukh Khan opposite Bachchan, ended up faring less than 4.5. Ghajini, bollywood's top blockbuster, on NDTVImagine the same day, drew a top rating of 3.1 while Akshay Kumar starrer Singh is King on Sony drew around 3.3 according to aMAP. Big Boss 3 opener also reportedly doubled the viewership from the previous seasons of Big Boss 2 hosted by Shilpa Shetty, and Big Boss 1. Usually the trend is, sequels and 'trequels' decrease in ratings compared to their opening seasons. Here it's gone the other direction. (News source:World News, IBOS)

Everyone will watch premier episode to know who are the contestants in this reason, based on first episode TRP you cannot declare whatever you like. Do you think people really want to watch C grade celebrities in the show and vote for them?

Yaar Poonam Dhillon, Ismail Darbar, Raju Shrivastava are not C-grade celebrities at all! And this show is all about the fight from yourself, how much you control yourself and how good you can survive in a world.
And if you read my post above carefully..had been it the just another case of premier first episode, its TRP would not have been much higher than Bigg Boss 2 and premiere episodes of SRK panchvi pass or lots of premiers which happened the very same day and tried to clash with BB3 including SRK at Tere Mere Beech me..for which Star TV knowingly extended it to 1:30 minutes instead of usual 1 hr show! Ands till it scored much below BB3.
