^^ I agree. Gautam is a very soft target right now. He is the common enemy of most of the housemates so whatever he does is made into an issue.
And Gautam hasn't lied. Re-watch the episode. He was mis-quoted by Sushant. Gautam is no saint and yeah he is "nautanki" and wants attention but please tell me who doesn't want attention in the Bigg Boss house? That is the purpose of coming into Bigg Boss. Do you want him to be non-existent like Upen and Natasha who provide nothing?
Its just sad. Yeah he is childish, yeah he is a nautanki, yeah he is HUMAN. But they ridicule, demean, curse, deprive, corner, & suppress him to no ends. I would have disliked Gautam if it weren't for these morons making him into a star. seriously didn't like him in the first week but the way he is handling himself is good especially when he is treated like shit for the past 2 weeks. He still didn't lose his cool.
