I guess you have your opinion. But I beg to differ.
1) Your first point- Salman knows Gautam personally so he is favoring him. However, Salman knows most of them. He has worked with Puneet. He knows Ali Quli Mirza- he even promoted his movie for him. He knows Tanna from before. He also knows a whole bunch of contestants. So the argument that he is favoring Gautam because he knows him personally is baseless.
2) Point two: I agree Gautam is not innocent and he can over act but Salman did take his class too. Salman said that Gautam was wrong in the way he talked to Upen during that fight. He even went to say that "Gautam does have the ability to turn anything positive to negative". This is a statement. I totally agree with that. He also took Gautam's class to show him where he is wrong.
3) Third point: about captaincy task and judgement day. Upen was chosen by everyone because he is a "balanced" person. As a captain, he is a leader and should lead by example. He was asked to pick "best performer" and "worst performer" in the task. So, he obviously was given three options: Karishma, Puneet and Sushant. He had to pick any of them. When someone says that the tasks given to Sushant were harder- I dont agree. I think Tanna's tasks were equally harder. There is not much difference between convincing someone to bleach their eyebrows and shaving their head. This is a fair comparison. Also, Tanna had to convince housemates to give half of the rashan away. Now, that is a big deal . So, she should have been the winner (or Puneet since his task was overnight). He had two clear potential winners but he chose Sushant. Why? Is that being balanced at all? I did not understand it. That is the balanced captain everyone was screaming about. Also, Gautam was not even part of the task then why should he have been punished? Give me a simple reason. Gulati refused to shave his hair but so did Upen and every other guy. So, tell me why he sat in the cage all day? It is really humiliating I am telling you.
And your last point, you said Upen wanted to do something nice for Sushant since is already nominated. This is not what a captain does. This is like he is doing Sushant a favor now and he will expect something when Sushant becomes captain. Being a captain is about being fair, balanced and right. These are not the qualities that Upen represented. If everyone starts favoring their friends then the captainship should be renamed to something else. (I dont know what they would call it). But, I think what he did was very wrong.
So, all in all, I understand your point of view but I wanted to give my opinions and thoughts.
