Trying to Understand the GG wave.

BB8 is ending. After watching the show religiously for almost 5 months, I tried to analyze the entire season.

The whole BB8 season was all about Gautam Gulati. People called contestants Double dholkis if they said something against GG. If they nominate him they have become backstabbers.

Every constant was either appreciated or condemned only with respect to GG.

Whether you belong to GG club or Anti-GG club, it didnt make any difference when it came to voting. Appreciation doesn't make somebody a winner only voting does, which was always for GG. (for eg GG fans would have never voted for Pritam even if always supported GG. right?) I think Pritam realized this in the half way, so, he tried to be himself.

Whats special about GG? why such a big wave in his favor?

Is it becoz he is a good looking guy? But there were some really good looking guys in previous seasons as well, but they didnt win.

He hasn't done anything so different and great in the show to get so much fan base. ..!!!

He started the show with gaali controversy, yet people pardoned him when he cried and apologized. Thats the starting point to GG wave. Karishma triggered GG Tsunami in a way.

He never took stand for anybody or anything, but nobody considers it important. Same GG fans blamed other HMs if they failed to take stand for GG.

He spoke cheaply about almost every female participant in the house, but all females fans were absolutely okay with that. When he was asked about his comments he always lied , and never really apologized anybody.

He passed personal and dirty comments almost about everybody, but when others said anything which is remotely personal, fans didnt show them any mercy on them.

He clearly patted Sambhava's back for throwing the sandal, yet his fans found no fault in this. He changed sides so many times but he never was Double Dholki.

How can we forget how immediately he changed his tune, called Diandra just a friend after the party. No, he is still not a Double Dholki.

He is never cheap even considering lotion leelas.

Its beyond my understanding, how his fans never found anything wrong with what GG did or said.

I feel there are 3 major factors, which helped him to gain so much popularity.

1. He is good looking (not such an imp factor though)

2. He was alomst always shirtless, showing his abs.

3. The most IMPORTANT factor is He always played a Victim card, always tried to gain sympathy, cried , spoke to cameras. This is really a deadly combination. Considering all the female contestants who won in previous seasons , like, Juhi, Gauhar or swetha, they were always abala naaris. Now GG is a deadly combination of both looks and Abala naari syndrome! that has made him irresistible and helped him earn so many fans...which created a huge GG wave.

My only favorites this season are 1st Praneet and next Sonali, in the order of preference. But i knew very well from the beginning that they dont have any chance to win, becoz they are not fake or played politics. In a way i was happy and relieved when Praneet got voted out. I felt as if he was rescued.

All I would want to say is, any other contestant never had any chance of winning BB8.. they can never be like GG.

There ends the another season of BB, which left me wondering, is the show worth my time? or anybody's time? I am feeling somewhat embarrassed of myself for watching it so religiously.

Disclaimer : GG fans, the show is done, you have your fav constant as winner, whatever i say or write doesnt change anything any more. so please take it easy even if you dont like this topic Thank you all.

a lot of "Almost", "everybody", "everyone", "all female", no specific example lol

here you go..

Almost everyone who went out of the BBH supported him..

Almost all the Bollywood actors/actress supported him...

Over 50% of the viewer supported him..

not all these can be wrong?

In BBH its simple, ppl choice the one who is "less bad" than others, and that is Gautam, he might be annoying the housemates at times, but he was always straightforward, didn't try to play safe and be in good books of everyone like almost everyone did, expect KT & him, who always were on same path from start to end..

Are you YET trying to understand about the GG wave, or have you already formed strong opinions for or against it ? lol

You don't seem to be loitering anywhere inbetween and in need for clarification or understanding of any sort. Somehow, for or against your will, you desperately sound anti-GG and you probably are. lol So, I'm not gonna waste my time helping you understand, what created the "GG wave".

Have a nice day!
