Advantage of Wild Cards : They know all about existing house mates
Disadvantage of Wild Cards : Fans of existing house mates are already developed

Keeping this^ is mind:

I feel a wild card like Rish has an advantage because he came at a time (only 3 weeks after start) when most of the viewers were still in the deciding phase that which contestant deserves to be their favorite. So he got the advantage but not disadvantage. For me he's like any other original contestant.

Priya came mid season so yes, she's the one whose advantage and disadvantage was equal. And she proved by her dominating, strong and annoying presence that she can beat the original contestants.

Gizel and Nora came at stage when their disadvantage was more than their advantage so being Wild Card was their loss.

Openers are there from the start of an innings

They make 50 runs in 20 overs

One of the opener decides to hit a six

Comes forwards

Slips

Falls in middle of the wicket

Gets Stumped

Other opener decides to hit a six

It is a big one

It crosses the boundary

Unfortunately it was the bat that went out of the ground

Ball hit the wicket

Two more batsmen come

Both go back in 2 balls

Its 50 for 4 in 20 overs

5th man comes.

Hits a hundred

Team reaches 250

I guess my point is that what impact does one leave..In the end people are not voting for those who are there from the start. They are getting money..they are not doing ehsaan on us.

If someone comes later but just wins our hearts then that person is better than losers collecting cheques and doing nothing and putting audience and channel to loss

Imam was a great example...he should have been the original wild card winner

This year i will settle on Priya

Rishab does not deserve honor of being a wild card who saved the team ..on merit i am saying this

Actually there are more disadvantages of being a wildcard than advantage. The wildcards have to make a big impact in order to survive the show VS the original HMs who already develops a fanbase by then..thus making it difficult for them..


For example, if Gizelle was on the show from the beginning..she would've been in Top-5 for sure. Or if Priya was there from the beginning, she could've win. But if Keith or Rochelle entered as wildcards, they would've been kicked out in a week
...


I don't know what are the other disadvantages besides not having a fan base ...to be honest BB team compensates for it by giving undue advantage extending captainship and giving immunity and infact the way these WCS are introduced in a big way to make a big impact to spice up the show..I'm sure no one can deny this.
Reg Gizelle and Priya if BB considered them above Rochelle and Keith he would have had them in that position, this initself speaks huge volumes about calibre of each and I guess I don't have to say anymore.

Wc's - 10 hafte rahe bhi nahi hain total...
I don't know how they are equal...they can match everyone or even exceed them in entertainment...it's not their fault that they are wc's but we cannot compare both

Thank you, one can agree it's not their fault that they are wild cards but they cannot be equal to the original contestants,

If Giselle and Priya were there from the beginning of the season then contestants like Mandy would have been out midway through the season.

Bang on.👏 Couldn't agree more with you.😉
Salman correctly pointed out these things in today's episode.

BB seriously FAILED in casting this year. This season had the lamest set of "original" contestants.
WCs really pulled this season up.

really missing Giselle😭

Yet to watch today's episode ... Can you please tell elaborate how were the WCS were better --- not mentioning the games introduced by the Bb team

IMO there are both advantages and disadvantages being a WC...

The disadvantages are more when a WC who enters without having any immunity for the next 2 nominations...eg, Gizelle. She was a patakha, but dumb BB creatives preferred Nora over her...

But when BB pays a lum sum amount to any WC and hence ensures his/her safety ftom atleast the next 2 evictions (just to get more payback per buck spent on the WC), that is definitely an advantage even the originals didn't have when they started. Eg. Priya got the advantage n she also proved her worth in the last 10 days...but Ankit being an original, didn't get this advantage...

from what you kindly elaborated
I see more undue advantages to wild cards than original contestants and it makes it unfair to call them equal to the original contestants who have no clue about the mind and game plan of the other inmates
