Have hardly watched a couple of episodes last week n now I'm done with this season. Anything done organically, whether fights, showmance, Dosti, Dushmani will work. But this season everything is being forced n it's not coz the HMs weren't doing anything, but coz BB wanted to promote certain HMs n force certain narratives.
And yeah Neha's eviction showed how blatantly BB was manipulating the show n I know many ppl who lost interest in the show after her eviction, not coz they were her fan, but coz they realised BB is going to just disregard the audience n manipulate d show the way they want to and BB is doing exactly that.

Great topic!

BB team needs to realize that BB is a daily show hence we need a staple diet. Taking super masaledaar food on a regular basis just upsets your stomach. While regular food with the right blend of everything with an occassional unexpected doses of masala makes for a great culinary exoerience.


exactly! this was what I was trying to say...but u summed it up in 2-3 lines. 👏

plus the kind of masala u add also makes a lot of difference. If you add exotic herbs and unadulterated quality masala (oraginc rivalries, fights and comedy as well) in limited quantities the dish is going to taste good. But if u are going to add only cheap red chilli powder and sasta adulterated masala (fake fights & chilaam-chilli) in an overdose (forced ladai-jhagda) then how can one consume that dish on a regular basis? 😳

I wouldn't even call all this non stop chillam chilli parade masala. Certainly not the type of masala an Imam, or A Pooja Mishra, a Dolly Bindra or even a Om Swami brought to the table.
It's more like we are being fed toxins in the form of Deepak Mausa and Surbhi Chachi where it's all forced, all fake and way too OTT and then there's the favoritism.
This type of masala or toxins as I like to call it, is not always fit or great for human consumption (Or even daayan consumtion) 😆

I think most of us get the gist that it's scripted but at least make it believable. Set up a acting workshop for all the so called fish market type content providers before the show actually takes off and let us enjoy some good acting at least.

It really is high time BB put up disclaimers stating that it indeed is only scripted reality so that we can just watch just like we do with any kind of work of fiction.




@bold - daayan comsumption 😆
I agree. dolly, Imam, Pooja misra etc were Naturals. Deepak, Surbhi on the other hand are nakli milawati masala which can be rightly called toxins cos adulterated masala are exactly that. there's nothing natiral about the fake & forced chillam chili of surbhi & co. Plus it's an overdose too.

@red- fish market type content providers 😆 Exactly. agar acting hi dikhani hai to atleast make it believable. 😳

@bold- yes, this was the final nail in the coffin - the single most important reason that p!ssed me off this season. I mean the desperation of BB to oust Neha could not have been any more 'in your face'...and that too despite performing so well in that pirate task. Forget any appreciation for tolerating all that torture without complaints, Salman didn't even yfind it worth of a passing mention that how well she performed in that task.

I can tolerate almost anything in a show but NOT injustice and foul-play (especially in a 'so called' reality show) 🤢

Kya real reh gaya hai is reality show me batao? nakli drama, nakli fights, nakli dosti, nakli showmance, nakli everything! 😡 (ofcourse exceptions are there, but I am talking about the majority)

Neha's eviction was the most unfair evictions in BB history of evictions. And only reason she got ousted was cuz she's too real and got in the way of the chosen one's that BB's narrative was set in place to cater to.

If we look at the bigger picture keeping the original BB concept in mind, Neha was apt, Neha was ideal and was actually prime example of the endurance levels and mental strength that the perfect BB house candidate requires in order to survive.
So yeah, nothing on the show since last few seasons is real, be it friendships, romances, emotions etc etc...

It's all become one big narrative where the script gets amended due to BB's whims and fancies and not left to the contestants natural capabilities thanks to all the overt outside feedback and hosts interference and spoonfeeding of the chosen one's, hence becomes confusions galore for the contestants.
Prime example this season-KV. Poor guy has become one confused lost soul that he's actually coming across as dumb when in reality that probably isn't the case but thanks to the narrative as well, this is what BB are also trying to portray of him.

@bold- BB and even viewers have seemed to lost patience. Because of TRP requirements, they cannot wait for organic rivalries, friendships and fights to develop and instead want instant indulgence from day 1. the result is what we get in the form of fake and forced fights. Plus too much manipulation by BB make it closer to a scripted show than a reality one.

I wasn't a Neha fan either but stopped watching the show when I read that Sree was being sent to SR. At that moment itself it was confirmed that Neha will be thrown out, despite performing so well in the tasks... and I don't support such foulplay in a so called reality show.

Upar se BB salman aur celeb guests wagairah kehte hai ki game khelo ...content do. par jab Deepika ya KVB game khel jaate hai to WKW pe unko grill karte hai ki aapne aisa kyun kiya jawab dijiye. on the other hand, certain privileged contestants ko to 7 khoon maaf ... wo chahe jo karein it will either be ignored or worse appreciated ab celebs to confuse honge hi na ki bhai chahte kya ho humse???
