No phone, television or computer. No contact with the outside world. Cooped up inside the same space week after week.

Clearly, Bigg Boss's abode is no paradise and could make a dull doll out of anyone. And yet the scene inside is packed with glamour, verve and zing courtesy its sizzling girl population. 

Season 5 of the popular reality show, co-hosted by Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan, is most notable for its sparse male presence. The sparring ladies, however, are providing enough entertainment and oomph to complain. So where do these Bigg Boss hotties stand on the sex appeal meter?

Let's figure out.

There's something incessantly diplomatic about this pretty woman with a strange laugh. Her earnest efforts to appease everyone and stay calm during most squabbles do come across.

Moreover, she's always well turned out, bright and chirpy, with or without make up.

It's always fun to watch the Wanted starlet breaking into an early morning impromptu jig to the alarm ditty.

With a perfectly toned body and a husky tone, which doesn't lose its polite fervour even during an unnecessary argument, Mahek's confident and care-a-damn attitude makes her one hot lass on the loose.

While we appreciate Pooja Bedi's proclivity to sound politically correct at all times, her wardrobe is seriously drab.

We wish she'd let her hair down a little and make a little more effort to resemble the super chic Devika from Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander.

Often teased for her considerable derriere, the Afghan beauty pageant winner is quite comfortable in her own skin and curves.

Easily one of the most attractive contestants of Bigg Boss 5, Vida's weak Hindi and growing number of misunderstandings with housemates are the only two things that put her out of favour. But we bet even they will not deny that the woman is sexy, very sexy.

Bigg Boss 5's resident Jalebi bai is portrayed as one of the laziest members of the house who believes she's the most overworked. Speaking of which, a little work out won't hurt, will it?

Even worse is how the almond-eyed TV actress is almost always seen scrambling about in tacky, ill-fitting clothes that do absolutely nothing for her.

If only the anchor of a gossip show knew the importance of grooming.

Ms Bevli, the silent schemer who loves to grimace, is perennially in haggard mode, dressed in over-sized clothing with those unruly, unkempt locks tied in shabby pigtails.

Despite a good height and figure, Pooja Misrra's aggressive temperament and obnoxious behaviour make it hard for us to perceive her as a lady.

Furthermore, her love for loud make-up, coloured lenses and frumpy jumpsuits spell the A to Z of fashion disaster.

She may not be the tall, slim model types but Juhi radiates a fun-loving charm and sincerity that makes her a favourite among most of the housemates.

If straightforward souls who 'call a spade a spade' is your thing, Juhi is your girl.
