The format of having two houses was earlier executed in the Bigg Boss Hindi version in its sixth season. While one house was conflictless with happy contestants, the other one was teeming with problems and the usual Bigg Boss drama. Towards the end of the season, both houses were merged. The same strategy is expected to be applied in Bigg Boss Tamil 7 as well.
