At the beginning of the season, there was the feeling that all bigger guys might overpower him so he wouldn't be able to play the alpha male he used to play on BB OTT.
But we are essentially back to the same status now.
His voice is big. He speaks quickly. And his biggest strength -
He is completely and totally uninhibited. He's the freest of all contestants. All the contestants are intimidated by his freedom. There is no other contestant as free as Pratik. He says whatever he wants and does whatever he wants. He is not bound by any constraints of politeness or good taste or "log kya sochenge" etc. He does exactly what he wishes and no other housemate can do this. All of them are way to conscious of what the world will think. And they feel jealous of his freedom.
In some way Pratik has the least to lose. He isn't really from the industry. All others have to go back and back in some ways to go back with some image intact. Pratik is under no such obligation.
He's also the most naked about expressing his desire to win the trophy. All others are ambivalent. But Pratik is the one guy who desperately wants to win the trophy. Other housemates might think it is crass but at least he's direct. In a way, none of them can match Pratik. He's the ideal candidate for a show like BB.
That is why they spend so much time thinking about him. That is why they are jealous of him. That is why they are scared of him. And that is why they are intimidated by him.
What do you guys think?
