Some observations and an overall take on the season so far. ..
- Last season had multiple firecrackers of personalities hence was off to an explosive start.. This year there isn't any - quite the opposite actually. There is also no diversity between contestants who are typically chosen from different walks of life and professions..This year they all look and behave the same - nothing different
- All housemates this year seem decent and well behaved.. No eccentricities.. Even the noise pollution Khan sisters are not boorish or crude... Not complaining just a big change from last few seasons
- The WKW and overall format needs a re-think. A sad live band, tope ka salaami and a disinterested host make a stale and lethargic show.. WKW has lost its charm and value between bawdiness and promotions. That zabardasti ka Fizz bottle Salman holds so uncomfortably, is an eyesore...
- This season by far has the worst dressed set of people - ever! Save for Roshmi, not one person has shown any individual style, taste or self awareness on what suits them or enhances their presentation. Bad clothes, bad make up.. Not even the TV stars..
- Interestingly - no smokers this year? Have not seen any action around the typically happening smoking area...
- Singles Vs. Doubles just does not work...If you have chosen a format, atleast stay consistent to it. If Doubles are taken as 'one' for nominations and eliminations why is captaincy and Sultani Akhada voting taken individually and not as jodis? Having 12 people screaming at you during the tasks does not make a balanced competition. The concept does not seem to have been fully thought through...
- On the Singles side, for the first time we have seen a united front last as long as it has. Some cracks are starting to show now, but I think they will stick together a bit longer just for survival
- Never before have we seen this level of external influences this early in the game. But the housemates are still clueless on what is expected of them. It is not always about the loud fights... There was always atleast one chatpata person every season (likes of Ravi Kisan, Rakhi Sawant, Rahul Mahajan, Manu, Om Swami, Aakash, Arshi etc) ... But this year continues to be bland and confused as it lacks a spicy personality and overall contestents' smarts
Unless they change something or add someone atrangi to stir up the pot, this show is not going anywhere.. Even Salman cannot lift the show as he himself seems bored.. Anyone would be if they had to keep saying the same things, year over year for 10 years..
The show needs a jaadu ki jhappi - not Deepak ki jhappi!
