Slightly neurotic watching BB - Page 2

Great thread sabriji. I have wondered the same at times. What is it that makes you involved ?

I will give you my personal account. Please note this is NOT intended to be a contestant bashing.

I like everyone except Armaan. I think, I have led a very sheltered life and cant bear the thought to meet someone like him. Hence, I clap when he is arrested and back Sofia. I fool myself that world is getting better my teaching lesson to Armaan or may be I am fighting with my own insecurities. I cant let the world full of Armaans. They are threat to ME.

When Tanisha does not oppose him, I feel helpless, Armaan has personally defeated me and hence I get upset with her.

when talks a lot, i get upset again because it remind me of some big-mouthed colleagues of the past who cost me opportunity. Even the wound is healed, the scar remains and it is open when I find someone like gau who is dominating, nice but illogical, forcing wrong things on others (out of her strong belief of what is right or wrong). A person like me who likes to give room to others find it stifling.

When she progresses in the game due to Being overbearing, I have been wronged and I must protect myself by hating her and thinking ill of her. Animal in me want to see her crushed..

I dont mind Sangram because he is calm, composed. He is no threat to me. He is double-dholki.. I am too and its okay. Because I am justifying myself by justifying him.

I can find such traits in every contestant which resonate with my past experience. This forms my opinions. Actually, these are frustrations of mine. Now I look at everyone thru that tinted projection and stereotype them.

So when Tanisha fights back with Armaan, I have scored a victory. When Salman scolds Gauhar for her interference, its a slap to that past which can never be rectified. There are no absolutes .. Just conditioned response of my past. I may pat myself for hating some hm or being fan of someone, I am satisfying illusive ego of mine.

English has a beautiful word To express this feeling.. "vicarious" . I live thru vicariously.. An impotent, hollow life for that moment, if naked truth be told.

I agree with you...This show is having so much negative effect on my mind...I used to detest this show Bigg Boss and had successfully managed to skip last 6 seasons of BB...It was the 1st season, which wen started, I thought wud b the most interesting...i always hate fights and i thought there wud be so less fights in the season coz most people seemed nice like Appu, Ratan, elli etc...also, there were entertainers like Andy in the house...bt to my horror, this season turned out to be worse than a nightmare..

The constant bickering by the host...the constant bias by the channel itself...the continious favouritism towards TanMan and useless content, especially the tasks ruined the entire season...Especially this kind of biasedness actually affected my brains...Kushal's eviction was so shocking fr me, I sulked for 2 days and m still sulking...It just saddens me to think that this show is just a representation of our society which is filled with such biasdness and prejudices...Its one of the reasons I hate Salman Khan...

The TV shows generally aim to create a surprise element in the show...bt here it was more shock than surprise...too many shock elements...too pathetic fights...and so less entertainment...For me, its the first and last season of BB...other dance reality shows r much bettr...atleast they dont natch away r sleep and make us restless...This is one pathetic show which hits directly in the head...and the worst part is that even if you r seeing something wrong being done, you cant do anything...tweeting about it further stamps us as PRs of a particular contestant...dont know where r voices will b actually heard...jst as it happens in India, where politicians turn away their faces from the public at the tyms of need!

disgusting season indeed!🤢

I do feel the same at times. We all are watching the same show but we are all affected differently. Have different responses. You got disturbed by Kushal's eviction while few rejoiced and found it justified. Acommon viewers like you and me.. why this separate response to same event ?

Is it because Kushal reminded you of something or may be you dound this event unjust and it triggered some unjust experience from the past?

Perhaps, it may be fascinating to know why certains reality events elicite resonse from us.

But Cotswold aren't we all universal about people like Armaan ,we hardly differ in our dislike for him.we want to see justice meted out with his exit on Saturday,hope he has been nominated ? Then we may all feel there is fairness in this show.i would rather watch Comedy Nights the entire day and laugh over the same piece than watch another season of BB 8.

i guess may b bcoz snobbish ppl lyk Tanisha, Arman and Salman remind me of my school days wich were filled with such ppl...i was mostly alone with 1 or 2 frns...and felt quiet left out a lot of times...also may be i was sad with Kushal's exit bcoz i can relate to Gauhar...i have faced how hard it is wen ur loved one goes away from u...it jst tears u apart...i was in a long distance relationship, and everytime he went, I would go in my shut dwn mode...I just cant see any sort of injustice and bullying being done by this so-called high caliber rich people...also, cant see two lovers being separated...Kushal's exit saddened me in both ways: one bcoz of the unfair decision by BB coz clearly Kushal had more votes than Ajaz...and secondly seeing Gau-Kush go apart really hurt me...

Another important fact to note here is that, most of us start living our lives through virtual means...for some of us, a particualar Tv show becomes so imp that we start seeing ourselves in a particular character or contestant...for others, they do that in video games or movies or novels...And since we get so attached and connected to a particular show n its character n v start living our lives in them, that we actually start feeling their pain and sadness...Its one of the reason i avoid watching too much of serials, movies or novels...it jst drives you crazy!
