After the finale of season with five champions, Bigg Boss Halla Bol[10] a spin-off was launched on 4 January. It merged with the regular series and continued in the same house.[11] Five contestants from previous seasons entered the house to compete with five crowned regular entrants of the season finale.[12] Farah Khan became the new host[13] as Salman bid adieu due to his filming schedule of Bajrangi Bhaijaan.[14]

Salman Khan remained the host of the series for the 4th time.

Broadcast

The series premiered in India on network Colors on 21 September 2014.[15] The series was also broadcast in Pakistan on ARY Digital beginning 28 September 2014,[16][17] and was additionally broadcast in the United Kingdom on Colors UK beginning 21 September 2014.[18]

Production

House theme

The house for the eighth season was in Lonavala. It resembled the interior of an aircraft.[citation needed] After the first eviction, the house was made available to the housemates. The physical layout of the house remained mostly unchanged from the previous series. However, the house theme was changed to an Alpine chalet with wood, fur and leather furnishings.[19]

Secret society

On launch night, it was revealed that there was a place adjacent to the 'Plane crash' area known as 'The Secret Society.' Later, Deepshika, Pritam and Puneet were chosen by Bigg Boss to become cult celebrities who would live in the society in secret, away from the rest of the housemates. It was then announced that they would have the power to nominate housemates of their choice to face the first public vote and have immunity from nomination. On day 3, the secret society revealed itself to the viewers as per Bigg Boss' order and introduced themselves.[20][21][22][23] On Day 5, Puneet was moved to plane crash area and later on Day 8 the other two secret society members Deepshika and Pritam joined him.[24][25]

Bigg Boss Halla Bol

Main article: Bigg Boss Halla Bol!

In the fifteenth week Bigg Boss announced that show had been extended for four weeks[26] and, unlike previous seasons, crowned its five champions on 3 January, concluding season 8 finale, where spin-off Bigg Boss Halla Bol launched and merged with the regular season.[10][27]

The spin-off series officially launched on 4 January,[28] with the five Halla Bol Challengers from previous seasons, which includes Ajaz Khan, Sambhavna Seth, Mahek Chahal, Rahul Mahajan and Sana Khan. Sana Khan's entrance was disclosed later as a fifth challenger by production team.[29] Before the official announcement, only Ajaz Khan entered the house on Day 99. The new spin-off format of Champions and Challengers with ten contestants was hosted by Farah Khan as contractually, Salman Khan leaves the series after season finale.[30]

Notes

  • ^1: On the grand premiere, Gautam had to select one from Sargun and Sukirti to enter the house with him. He chose to select Sukirti while Sargun was evicted from the show straight away.
  • ^2:   This housemate was the current member of Secret Society and could not be nominated for eviction through the standard nomination process that week. Their identity was hidden from non-members.
  • ^3: Deepshika, Puneet and Pritam being chosen by Bigg Boss as members of the secret society had to unanimously decide who would face the public vote. This process occurred after the housemates were done nominating. After accessing the results of the standard nominations the trio chose Sonali and Gautam.
  • ^4: Bigg Boss took away Gautam's right to nominate as a result of him verbally abusing Karishma during the 'Hijack' challenge.
  • ^5: Sukirti was nominated by Sonali via her "Bigg Bomb" after her eviction.
  • ^6: Bigg Boss took away Aarya's right to nominate as a result of him taking off the mic and throwing it into the pool. Aarya was also straightaway nominated for being the captain of the losing team of 'Babbars vs Lambas' task.

  • ^8: Pritam was nominated as a result for being the captain of the losing team of 'Heroes VS Villains' task.

  • ^11: Sushant was nominated as a result of failing the 'Phonebooth' task.
  • ^12: Housemates could only choose two housemates for nomination between the five nominated by Captain Upen. Housemates not chosen by the captain were hence rendered immune.
  • ^13: Puneet was banned from the nomination process for being in the jail.
  • ^14: Dimpy and Renee were made immune to nominations as per Bigg Boss' orders..
  • ^15: The captain was given a special power to save one or more housemates from nominations.
  • ^16: Apart from Ali, Gautam and Puneet, rest of the housemates had to unanimously decide on four nominees to evict.
  • ^17: Upen was nominated by Nigaar via her "Bigg Bomb" after her eviction.
  • ^18: Bigg Boss nominated Sonali for the rest of the season for her violent aggression towards Ali.
  • ^19: House Captain Pritam was asked to nominate five housemates directly for eviction and due to this other housemates were not eligible to nominate anyone.
  • ^20: Voting lines were not applicable this week and due to this no housemates were evicted.
  • ^21: Bigg Boss nominated every housemate except Captain Karishma for breaking the rules of the house and therefore no housemates were eligible for nominating anyone including Captain Karishma.
  • ^22: Karishma nominated Praneet as the punishment during the judgement day.
  • ^23: Though Sonali is the captain of the house this week, but she was not given immunity from eviction. Therefore, she was nominated this week.
  • ^24: Though voting lines were open this week, no housemates were evicted as it was Salman Khan's birthday week.
  • ^25: As, no eviction held previous week the same nominees were forwarded to this week.
  • ^26: Upen was evicted amidst a midnight/surprise eviction. He got evicted combining the public votes received in previous week and this week.
  • ^27: Bigg Boss season 8 finale was concluded which saw a unique format, Sonali and Puneet gets eliminated while five contestants crowned as a winner for season 8, and moved them to season spin-off Bigg Boss Halla Bol! with five challengers from previous seasons.
