A lot has already been written about Diandra and I'm sure more criticisms will follow soon... but my question is -
"why are we criticizing the players when the game itself is becoming more and more dirty... ?" For God's sake this is Bigg boss not some dare-adventure show like Roadies or Fear Factor!
However, the reality is - Bigg Boss is indeed becoming some third-rate version of Roadies where both verbal and Physical violence is not just allowed but also encouraged by such games like angel-devil or hero-villain where the rules are either completely non-existent or at the most grossly ambiguous! Players are encouraged to twist the rules and play freestyle in the guise that - "kuch galat hoga to Bigg Boss bolenge na"!
Players know that at the most Bigg Boss will directly nominate them or give them some minor punishment but in doing verbal/physical violence the players will still be standing at advantage because -
1) The player will get instant Footage or limelight and would not appear boring
2) Bigg Boss will get regular MASALA (?) for at least a couple of days/weeks
3) Both the parties (Player as well as Bigg Boss) will benefit from such violent activities and hence, in the guise of public voting, Bigg Boss will keep that player in the show till at least the final 4 or 5
And...finally
in the final episode Bigg Boss will show that Achhayi wins over Burayi (kya kare unki bhi majboori hai bhai) thereby making such a contestant as winner who loosely fits in the frame of a classic hero/Heroine material...
Thinking about all this makes me questions why am I still seeing Bigg Boss...???
Probably because I want to identify myself with 1 or 2 good contestants who are striving hard to survive in an unfair environment of Bigg Boss just like any other average person who struggles with injustice in their day-to-day life...hoping that finally the Good will win...
We watch the show from start to end anchoring our hopes on this one single desire - 'Let the best player win' and all this while Bigg Boss will continue milking our frustrations against players like Diandra and Tanna to keep raising its TRP...
Seriously man... Why am I watching this show? đĄ
For some verbal diarrhea/physical violence? Is that what you call MASALA?? đĄ
I can see that MASALA free of cost in any slum area 24*7 (if I want to)... sorry
I really need to think whether I am prepared to watch this 3 month lambi Ramayan when I already know the results -
that they will let the villians (players like Diandra, Tanna) win till the end and then finally crown an andhe-me-kana raja as a winner so that we as an audience gets the message that 'Bigg boss ke ghar me der hai andher nahi' and ultimately good will win over evil...
Finally-
This punishment for Diandra (for physically abusing Sonali) is totally NOT ENOUGH...
I will wait till the weekend the war and see if Salman Bajaos their band ... if not then - Bigg Boss journey ends for me here itself...
