It was only a matter of time before India decided to branch off with its own reality show. After finding success replicating shows like Who wants to be a millionaire, American Idol and Big Brother for India, Sahara TV has managed to find a new theme: Bathroom singers. And here is their website.

Bathroom Singer will be aired on the Sahara Film channel at the end of August. Already thousands of aspiring singers have applied to star in it.

A well known secret among reality TV producers and fans is that the contestants are from varied backgrounds and there always needs to be some friction to make it interesting. The people at Sahara just confirm this.

We would definitely need decent, even good singers because you cannot sustain a reality show with bad singers. More than singing though, we are looking for exciting characters with personalities who add colour and variety. They will connect with the masses

Although the news article makes no mention of where the audition tapes need to be recorded, they have some good news to make the contestants to feel at home.

The show will have an anchor and a two-member jury and there will be various sets at different times with strong bathroom themes.

I wonder how comfortable the contestants will feel when they see a potty instead of their squatting holes.

Only if we could get William Hung to apply for an Indian passport…

For 2.5 million rupees, I bet he would be willing.
