Knowing the Indian audience’s predilecton for outbursts of dance and song, this would be interesting to see. I mean, how exactly would they do it?

Kidding aside, the biggest thing in this version of the Big Brother is sex; it’s always about the sex. Or the lack of it. And this early, producers assure the public how lame they’re going to make it–just like what they did in the Philippines, replacing “sexual tension” with something censor-safe like “nitpicking.”

Versions of the show in some countries revolve around sex, but Kamat said this need not hold for India. He gave the dress sense of the female contestants as a possible talking point between sari-wrapped mothers and their jeans-wearing daughters.

In India’s cities many mainly middle class young men and women live private lives with a similar freedom to the West but small towns and villages are much more conservative.

But Kamat also said he hoped to see sexual chemistry between contestants to “push the envelope” and test the limits of India’s relatively prim broadcast industry.
