Yeah all of them had good game until vikas gupta entered the house with vikas gupta entry three people have spoiled there game as you see vikas gupta was sent by channel to make contestant follow chanel narrative but before entering the show he told in interview this season the concept is not contestant vs contestant but contestant vs channel.
Vikas gupta was not against asim but his plan was to manipulate all the contestants and whoever is now following his advice had spoiled there game when he came sid and paras was sent to secret room to see the dynamics of the house with this we got to see potential winner in asim where as sana and mahira was not seen without paras and sid.
This has been the trigger of low confidence in sana as she has already been manipulated into believing she has no game plan without sid and because of sid and paras she was spoiling her relationship with other contestants as well being a good observer she planned to play her game in both ways by continuing sidnaaz angel and during task supporting asim and standing by her opinion in nomination task being cordial and playing for herself was good game on her behalf vikas ruined her game by feeding her with sidnaaz and she has over done the whole sidnaaz angel so much now in turn she really thinks sid is the whole game and sidnaaz is the only angel saving her in the show like sid channel is soothing her ego too by bringing in paid public and by making people shout her name she is falling into trap of channel in which she is following the narrative of channel.
Shukla he always changes his game after every wkv along with sana he is also responsible to over play sidnaaz angel after salman warning he will maintain distance with sana and sana will be behind him like crazy obsessive lover after vikas gupta been gone he has been manipulated by the channel into believing his angel with sana and his flirtatious and humorous behaviour has been well received by viewers .
To be frank i liked his flirting with devo as it was sarcastic and devo was equally participating but his flirting with bagga and madhurima looked too forced he has also overplayed his flirting angel and now his humour coming out as fake more then natural response and this week without showing asim he has especially for me come across as irritating especially with the whole sidnaaz thing.
Shefali he has spoiled potential finalist shefali game by manipulating her to not be with asim and moment she decided to be with shukla her whole game plan got spoiled and gupta has huge role into it manipulating shefali of how she is being perceived outside and how her relationship with asim is being looked at by believing into gupta and caring too much about her status her whole game got spoiled.
It's not that makers have not manipulated rashmi and asim or vikas gupta has manipulated asim especially.
He manipulated asim into making him believe his fight with sid is giving him footage and manipulated by kamya to be with sid he in turn didn't fall into trap of channel and continued the game with his self respect and dignity when he went against channel narrative he is now coming across as winner and genuine contestant but over all due to vikas gupta manipulation shefali lost her game by losing asim her only friendship angel and making asim and rashmi each other support system .
More than sana being good support system to shukla asim has been good support system to rashmi.
P.S : Notice the other manipulation too
- Rashmi getting call from caller of week regarding mahira and mahira getting manipulated by makers to go against rashmi along with paras which weaken there game.
