Week 3 - Abhi bhi locha hai! Fine Print

1. Dipika: A surprise this week. Impressed with her thought process, foresight, what she says, how she says and having the gumption to stand by it. As boring and serious as she can be, that kind of thinking and observation power could make her a winner. If she can keep her emotions in check, she is the front runner for the title at this time IMO..
   
   
2. The Ring Task: My observations after watching the episode and its cutless version (Note: I still find Neha untrustworthy)
1. IMO - what Somi did was not bal ka prayog. I don't feel Neha said that out of malice but made a poor judgment with the heckling around her
2. Clever editing by Channel.. Neha warned Somi and even threatened to disqualify her, but Somi did not take it seriously and was obstinate. Neha in irritation blurted 'Ok then - I disqualify you' but did not enforce it. Somi continued to hold on to her ring for a while.. Now what happened after is where it gets interesting
   
3. It was not Neha, but Romil who insisted that Somi leave the task. None of the other contestants thought it was serious till Surabhi caught onto Romil's strategy and said Neha cannot take her words back and that Somi should leave.
   
4. Saba sensing an opportunity too, prompted Neha to say on the camera. Somi still refused to let go but Saba gently prodded her with a signal to let go. As soon as she did, Saba smashed her water bottle and all the screaming and whining drama ensued.. This was totally staged to cash in on this opportunity. We have seen sisters make issues out of thin air before and yahan toh jackpot lag gaya..I do not fault them for doing that especially given their enmity with Neha lately
5. Overall - my read is that Neha did show poor judgment but it was not intentional or strategized. Baki sab behti ganga mein haath dho rahe the - including the channel
   
   
3. Narrative: Channel is trying hard to have a good against evil narrative between Dipika and Neha similar to Hina and Shilpa, but both of these girls have not yet fallen for it. They will keep trying till one of them gives in or someone else takes that over..
   
   
4. Deepak/Urvashi getting nastier and unbearable by each episode. If he noticed Shiv switching hands, why did he, the so called 'saccha aadmi' not notify right away. Again, If he had been given Sorabh's 'kasam' , as a self professed man of integrity, why did he not keep quite and instead jump right in when Salman mentioned it.
   
   
5. Romil/Surabhi Falling lower every day and a bit disappointed with Romil. He is playing dirty than smart.. Hope he improves and not hide behind his abrasive new partner. If Surabhi, the 'vile' card, can be that measured as she was on the WKW, then either she was acting up or has bipolar tendencies on another level.
   
   
6. Anup/Jasleen . They have more grace and brains than allow the channel to show Jasleen as a gold digger(from my understanding her family is quite well off) .. I wish they had left gracefully. Having Anup in a secret room is a waste..
   
   
7. Srishti Meh! She will stab the singles in the back soon..
   
   
8. KV - Has totally lost the plot. First, he could not get BB sarcasm, then why they were actually sent to jail and then continuing to talk before thinking in WKW.. Not a bad guy but unable to grasp the show and what is happening around him.. Almost a liability to the singles team.
   
   
9. Sree what a changeover! Either he has fully recovered from the severe BP attack or this is just another shade of his game.. He is definitely playing unlike a Rimi Sen.
   
   
10. Shiv/Sourabh Shiv continues to be bail buddhi but Sourabh may be a dark one..
    

Week 4 We may be on the cusp of a change..Lets see if it helps resolve some confusions..

Great analysis.

Just to add a point here, Anup Jasleen look completely scripted to me. Without their love angle, they can be good players.

KV and Sreesanth appeared more sad of Anup leaving than Jasleen herself!
