My only concern with these two is, that I really liked them and I feel disappointed in their individual behaviors since the past 2-3 weeks. I, don't theorize that they are the most negative or most disliked, or sly and game planning. In fact, I simply think that they are unable to understand Gautam's popularity and WHY he is liked so much outside. That really bothers both of them, because they don't think Gautam is amazing like his fans do. They see his flaws and they cannot fathom how no matter what Gautam does, he comes out with votes on his side. And they are totally insecure that if this continues, he will win the title.
Now, on a personal note, Gautam gives enough reasons for people to be miffed with him. I don't remember how the fall out happened, but I remember Praneet going on the negative rant about him first. That was totally uncalled for, because if you say dost dost, then don't bitch him out to people who don't like him. As for Gautam, he will say dost dost and then proclaim he is alone to sound like some lone warrior on WKW. All of these things drove them all apart. But what really hit the nail is that Gautam, despite his nonsense, still has the largest fan following and does get the max votes, while Pritam and Praneet just losing their initial tempo, and this is simply because in stead of focusing on their own game and how to make their images work, they concentrated on Gautam's image and his game. That is their downfall.
That is why Gautam stays so unaffected, because he pokes everyone, but concentrates only on HIS game. Whatever he does, or says, or behaves, is all part of his own way of being and behaving. It's not a reaction to others. Praneet and Pritam over the past few weeks are concentrating more on his game, than theirs. All their behavior is a REACTION to him and Puneet. Praneet has lost interest in the game. He is not only lazy and sleeps around all day, but does not participate whole heartedly in anything. He does not even stand up when people call him names and does not fight for captaincy or immunity or anything. Pritam, has been lost and confused in who is playing him and who is influencing him. In this chakkar, he is simply being played even more by Karishma and Upen. I loved that he stood up to Puneet, but even that was a REACTION to what his wife told him.
This REACTION to Gautam and this sole concentration on him and his behavior is their downfall. If they have any sense, they will learn to ignore Gautam and his antics, and simply concentrate on their own image and game plan. But right now, all HM's are being so silly by simply planning on others, instead of playing their own game and concentrating on their own images. All they are trying to do is malign his. While he sits and ignores all of them and concentrates on his game plan and his image.
