Divya was not a lone warrior by her own choice but because she never got a partner in the game where the theme was connections barring Zeeshan for sometime. She still had some people like Nishant, Gaba, Akshara etc even Bapat anf Moose later on who she used to hang out with. You can't completely allienate yourself in a game or in a house where you have to live for 3-4 months. For sanity sake too, apart from game you need some people.. Gulati had Puneet and even Praneet and Pritam for the most part. So I dont see what is the problem if Umar has connections with Karan and Teja? Looking at the other choices he has in the house, I will say he did great.
There isn’t just one game on BB for crying out loud. You can play a “lone warrior” game, sure - but you need the narrative that allows that. In Gulati’s case - the first week’s genuine isolation that he was subjected to, allowed him to build his BB fanbase off of that, and stretch that akela card all season. A direct result of the other HMs’ collective actions in week one. Same goes for Divya - had she come in with a connection - had Zee not been evicted - things likely would’ve been different for her game.
And - she had people she hung out with, and on occasion built alliances with and played with too - you cannot move ahead in this game without that. Not unless you’re coasting as opposed to playing. Gulati had P3G from pretty much week two. Heck - Pritam stood up for him in week one itself.
This Umar thing is hilarious. He shouldn’t make friends - and if he does, they shouldn’t be Karan and Teja. Haan bhai - he should go make friends with Shammo’s crew instead - makes SO much sense 😆
