For those who might not remember me, I was a regular commentor over the last 2 seasons of BB and used to enjoy the conversations and arguments that used to take place.
This year, due to many reasons, I was not able to watch the shows regularly and had recorded everything to be watched when time permitted. I only got around to watching the shows since last Friday and have since covered the whole season till date in the last 9 days.
Additionally as I used to love reading the comments on IF with every episode, i actually went back and read through some of the DDTs while watching the episodes. However it was somehow very unreal and difficult to understand how people were reacting to certain things like bullying (Shilpa), stealing (Shilpa), taunting on personal issues(Hina, Arshi, Shilpa, Vikas), talking about things outside of BB house (Priyank) and inappropriate touching (Shilpa, Puneesh-Bandagi).
Now its not my first season and so I know that the contestants end up gaining followers who will appreciate all logical and illogical things under the cover of being a fan. However I have rarely seen such a high level of personal attacks and targetting in the forum which I had hoped would remain a neutral zone.
There are comments in which people are clearly stating I am not a Hina fan just to avoid being targetted. There are also forumites who are creating multiple topics with the same subject in order to make it seem that Shilpa and Vikas are the most talked about in the forum.
Now coming to my personal opinions on the housemates -let me emphasise I have binge-watched the entire season and so have not had a regular growth with any characters. I have also missed out on all the undekha actions and other posts which show the journey of the contestants. Anyways for those who have read thusfar, here is my take on this season without further ado:
Shilpa - I hate her for her bullying and stealing but mam knows how to play mind games very well. She is the best actor in this house and can use her tears better than Gauhar Khan.
Vikas - Smart but insensible, Vikas is good as a victim but does not want to take on a leaders role. This is a pity as he could have been a great rallying point but he wants to play both sides and therfore ends up looking inconsistent.
Hina - Loudmouth, she has time and again hurt her own causes by not controlling her language and body language. She is really well dressed in the house and if only she stopped trying to influence everyone, she could have had a great potential.
Hiten - I have been a fan of this guy from Parampara days and had hoped to see a more interesting and personal side to him. However he is the biggest disappointment only because his personality is an interesting as my furniture. However he is the only one who has maitained his dignity till now and is starting to speak out when he prefers to. There might still be hope...
Priyank - Eye-candy but brainless. He had hurt his game by making multiple "mistakes" for which he has been rightly reprimanded by the housemates and SK.
Luv - a more bland Priyank, he is one nomination away from eviction. Love his voice though... i really felt he should have been in the RJ task with Vidya.
Arshi - No... just No. Hate her behaviour, her body language and her hyena laugh. She too wont be able to stick around if nominated, so quite like baba in last season BB is trying its ultimate best to keep her name from being nominated. This is a very clear bias and yet has been ignored as people are busy trying to pull down Shilpa Vikas and Hina.
Puneesh and Bandagi - Equal parts desperation and stupidity have been mixed to bring these two sample together. Bandagi is playing a very smart game and making sure that she makes enough noise for audience to feel that Puneesh is the one who is making her do inappropriate things while in the house. These 2 need to go
ACash - total rockstar... NOT. Acash is the real lost boy (not Vikas) who is good but not good enough to win. Unless ofcourse BB really wants a commoner to win in which case it is all a moot point anyways.
Sapna - literally a waste of a space in the BB house, her "dancing" fans have the ability to carry her to the finals. I dont like her laziness and hope she leaves ASAP.
That was my opinion. Would love to hear the views of other forumites, leave the bashinv aside as I will just ignore and move ahead.
Thanks for reading
