We are officially through the first week! And let me say this, and I might get some flak for this, but I am genuinely enjoying this season. It feels like BB is restoring the OG feeling after years and years of messing up with the concept. They are focusing more on the entertaining stuff than the usual toxicity (something that had become the hallmark of BB in the past 6-7 years). I know its too early and BB may still screw it up but still. BB definitely got the casting right with a great mix of personalities. A lot of them have potential so lets hope everyone delivers.
Anyway, as with every season, here are my initial thoughts and rankings of each contestant. Will keep updating along the season! Please add yours!
I have divided the contestants into three categories - like, indifferent, dislike. I don’t feel strongly for any of the contestants so there is no love or hate for now!
LIKE
1. Shrutika - my first impression of her was not good. I found her repulsive during the premiere but over time she has grown on me! I find her scenes to be funny and she has great insights into the game too. She is bubbly yet has a good understanding of the dynamics. I feel over time she will get even stronger as rival dynamics build up. Definitely an early favorite for me!
2. Vivian - I have been impressed with him. He has a very strong personality, definitely a plus for BB. He has also not come across as rude or arrogant as many expected him to be. I don’t like him going after Chahat again and again but apart from that I have liked him.
3. Karanvir - another contestant who has impressed me a lot. He has shown many shades to his personality - he is entertaining, funny, smart and can take on others. I feel he will shine even more with tasks. Early front runner for top 2!
4. Nyra - I find her super pretty and she has given positive vibes so far. Has come across as caring and not playing dirty. I would like to see more of her but I guess that will happen with time.
5. Gunratan - I find him extremely irritating but he also makes me ROFL. What a uniquely entertaining contestant! I hope BB manages to keep him for as long as possible. Obviously I don’t appreciate the political stuff but at this point it is clear its all khayali pulao so we can ignore. He has been the star of this week!
6. Arfeen - I disliked him initially but he is proving to be a decent player. He has managed to maximise his screen presence and has locked horns with a few people. He is also not someone who will shy away from groups and fights. Potentially a top 10 contender!
Indifferent
7. Shilpa - been mostly inactive but showed glimpses of strong personality today. She is no pushover and can give it back when needed. Definitely seeing her lasting long is she keeps doing well (+ Salman quota).
8. Chum - I have actually liked her in what little they have shown her. She was fierce against Shehzada and gave it back to Gunratan today. I hope she opens up and she is one of the few female contestants with a strong personality.
9. Eisha - the only reason she is here is because I find her pretty otherwise she’d definitely be in the dislike section.
10. Sara - she has been decent in parts. Definitely a strong personality but mostly lost in her own thoughts. Needs to open up!
11. Shehzada - he isn’t as bad as I initially thought. Not at all like chomu kumar from last year. Lets hope he can show a bit more of his personality and not become Dalal’s sidekick.
12. Bagga - he showed potential in the premier but since then has been a HUGE let down!
DISLIKE
13. Hema - she is quite annoying with constant crying. Lets see what she does not that she is out of jail but I have low expectations.
14. Rajat - until yesterday he was in the indifferent category but what he did with Shilpa today was plain and simple wrong! Plus I don’t like how he fights on old matters. Like he fights on stuff that happened 2 days ago. Either for footage or because iska saabun kafi slow hai. Software updated nahin hai.
15. Avinash - he is getting overconfident after a couple of feedbacks from BB. He is getting negative by the hour. He has potential but for now I am finding him inching towards the ‘hate’ field!
16. Chahat - I don’t like her character arc. She is always in her drama trope. Boring and irritating.
17. Alice - I had high expectations but she is nothing but a mohallay ki anty!
18. Muskaan - snoozefest!
