As per the recent news that is doing rounds regarding the reality show, Bigg Boss 20 has the potential of grouping the contestants into two different teams. Rather than being individuals for the entire period of the show, the contestants might need to collaborate within their respective teams amid nomination battles, assignments, and competition.

The speculated two-team format might bring about an entire new dimension to the game. The contestants would not only need to safeguard their team members but also weaken the other team.

Eight Pairs Could Become The Centre Of The Game

Another significant aspect of the proposed format is the fact that there could be up to eight pairs playing in the house. In light of the fact that there will reportedly be 16 participants playing in the game show, this could prove to be very significant during the beginning stages of the show.

It could bring about some very intriguing circumstances where individuals would have to think of whether their loyalty should come first before their own safety.
