Sometime back , I predicted with accuracy the elimination patterns and the winner of Big Boss 2006 - Rahul Roy.
After I returned to India I had a chance to meet some members , and the meetings were really interesting.I really liked the kind of crowd I met in that forum and see that many are still here and posting with great verve.
I have decided to stick my neck out in "The return of the pyschologist" for Jhalak and I am laying my reputation on the line.
Predictions are based on performances, pyschological histories and the voting patterns of the Indian messaging public.
We have the following contestants : Ronit , Sonali , Negi , Prachi , Jai , Mika and Sandhya left in the competition.
The determinant factors in predictions , at least at JDJ are , the judges mindsets , the audiences and their personal inclinations towards the celebs , the choreographers ability and finally the comments that are made by the celebs when they receive their scores.Mind that I did not mention the performance capabilities of the celebs.That is not a factor at all.If that was the case , we would have Amit Paul as the winner of II2007 :-))
Based on this , and mindful of the fact that its impossible to predict with accuracy , I am taking a call. I expect a 75% degree of accuracy on elimination patterns and a 99% possibility on the winner.
Nov 10 - Eliminated Jodi : Sonali
Sonali has the best choreo man at her side , yet she has been in the danger zone at least thrice in the past.While she is a great actor , the voting public have not fancied her as a dancer.Her primary failure is her own humility and that is not comfortable. She will go.
Nov 17 - Eliminated Jodi : Ronit
Ronit's choreo is lacking in imagination generally.As the competition progresses , Ronit's fan will expect more and will be dissapointed. Generally , it takes more energy from the celeb and creativity from Nicole - And I dont see that happen. Nicole was also Jadeja's choreo in the first season. Ronit's female following will let him down.
Nov 24 - Eliminated Jodi : Mika
Finally , the day everyone was waiting for will happen. Its not possible to pull wool on everyone's eye at the sametime. His choreo is good , but not great.He will finish at the bottom in Judge's rating and will tie with Prachi for the danger zone. Will be eliminated.
Dec 1 - Eliminated Jodi : Prachi
Yes , this is going to happen.Prachi will not be able to overcome certain other rounds coming up towards the end.A solo round is expected at this stage in the competition , plus audience are not going to accept her choreo's "man-handling" any more. Great work by the young star , but there are better days ahead for this sweet girl.
Dec 8 - Eliminated Jodi : Negi
Yes, how did he survive till now ? A combination of clever choreo's by Marischa , with slow and elegant movements , plus Negi's never say die spirit plus a devoted chak de audience , who love his middle class values and humilities. He is liked by the sms savvy college crowd as well as the elders in the family who dont mind spending a couple of sms for voting this energetic new age icon.
Dec 15 - Who's left : Jai and Sandhya
Finale : Jai survived until now because Bindi has realized the value of energy and creativity. Plus a large teenage fan following. Sandhya is kept alive precisely for the same reasons because she appeals across the board. Honesty , sincerity and committment. Though Javed in a very ordinary choreo.She will go Mona's way
In the sms battle ....the winner is ::::: SANDHYA !!!
Do let me know your comments.And the predictions - Dont take them too much to heart.People prove People Wrong !!
Cheers
