Why BB8 isn't working for you?

This season is half over, and I find myself often skipping episodes of BB8, if not avoiding them all together. I hate watching the weekend episodes especially due to the biased behavior of host, ridiculous promotions, and stupid humor they try to force.

Other than that, BB8 seems to have lost its charm due to the following:

- Contestant selection (No contestant with charisma or great winner like behavior)
- Task quality and execution (Tasks have been stupid, with no proper rules or direction)
- Editing (Choppy editing interferes with following a conversation and where it came from)
- Hinsa (People abusing people are brought back on the show, different rules for different people)
- Show study (Contestants have studied previous seasons and are playing according to footage and camera angles instead of being natural)
- BB interference. (Forced love stories, fights, captaincy and nomination rigging)

What do you think? Have you been enjoying watching? What would you change?

Stopping manipulation or influence on show by Salman and bigg boss.

No contestants with Salman or anyone's influence.

Let the public be the real judge who stays in or not.'

That's right. BB needs to stop this nonsense of bringing people into the show based on recommendation, and also, voting should count. Unfortunately so many people are spending money for nothing.

contestants are not allowed to express themselves if they dare to go against punz and gautam salman criticize them.its like they have to accept punz and gautam are always right and if they go against them host comes to bash them.its like dictatorship of punz and gautam now they are openly controlling praneet just because he said I will miss you to nigar.he can't even express his emotions.end this show now and give trophy to punz or gautam.

too much outside info , these panelists, and sallus biased behavior has ruined this season.. the contestants can never be themselves now and acting really fake..

plus the show has become tooo predictable and one sided now.. most ppl know by now the winner will be none other than gautam and once u know the ending it kinda becomes pointless to watch.

I genuinely think GG provided content until last week... The other contestants did nothing except fight with GG or bitch about GG most of the time.. But other than some entertainment by GG, Pritam and lately Ali, no one has really held my interest. Sonali has her one liners but you can't stretch a whole episode on just that. Everyone else is plain B.O.R.I.N.G.

The forced love stories are also super boring and I just skip those parts since I watch the show online. The tasks were lame too. I don't just blame the contestants for using bal prayog in the tasks and not completely. The tasks themselves were sooo lame to begin with. Only two interesting tasks this season... Bab v. Lamb and Gautam City. Even in Gautam City the HMs were not particularly that creative but it was still better than other tasks.

For WKV I think too much filmi promotions... It's annoying at times. They should just do one ep for WKV and show us the content for Saturday as well. Although, I would rather sit through Salman than a whole episode of boringness from the HMs

Yes. Completely nutso. Can't say I liked your dal without getting punishment. This whole thing is due to how much leeway they've given Punz. Hit someone, get to stay in hotel room, with bath, and room service. No household chores for you. Wow! And, cherry on top, we'll show you episodes so you can learn how to strategize against people better. 👎🏼

Yup. They're totally given suggestions by BB inside the BB room, and told about their life updates. So why not just call it a scripted show? Why are they pretending it's reality? All tasks and behaviors are forced, and contestants have studied previous seasons beforehand, knew who all were coming in, and have strategied on how to play.

Back in season 4 or 5, they would show lots of missed footage. But, this guy, just wants to stuff promotions of his friends stuff down our throats. Note how, if they're not his friends, they don't even come to promote their movies. Like SRK for HNY. Plus, they pay him 6crores for each episode. Save your money Endemol, and get better contestants and better tasks. Amazing how they're part of Endemol, but don't do any of the really entertaining tasks and challenges like their Big Brother counterparts do.
