I found KH's analogy of the score still being same even if only the highlight reels in cricket are shown to what Vanita was saying is completely wrong. There is objective scoring in cricket; it is straight forward whether you score a single run or a sixer with the highlight reel showing the action. This not the case for BB where everything is subjective. You don't show something and that changes the perception of the audience. I had read here that Kasturi had said previously that she initially liked Oviya when watching BB1 but after talking to the BB1 housemates, she understood why they had a problem with her or something along that line. So obviously, not showing certain things will influence the audience in one way or the other. Vanita understands that. She has seen outside what the portrayal of everyone was on TV versus what people actually are like in the house.
It appears to me that KH likes to target Vanita as she is disliked by the audience (agreed, for numerous valid reasons) and the audience response when KH is antagonistic towards her derives a lot of applause and appreciation. This is driving me towards wishing that Vanita actually wins the whole damn show.
Vanita is stubborn, bossy, argumentative, hypocritical at times, loud-mouthed, etc and definitely extremely irritating most of the times. But she also has a lot of guts. She is the only one of the BB3 housemates who is ballsy enough to argue with KH directly. The rest say something at first and then automatically shake their head in agreement to whatever KH says. Even after knowing that she is despised by the audience, she still went back in there and was her rude and bossy self without changing her personality to be nicer just to gain appreciation. Even after all the weekend sessions where the audience booed her and were generally antagonistic towards her and whatever she was saying, she still does not make a big deal of that and cry to gain sympathy and also still has not changed herself. Even after the grilling she got by KH, she was not willing to accept what KH said when she was talking about Sherin to Kavin, Sandy, Losliya and Mugen. I kind of admire the strength of her conviction in herself, her opinions and actions (well yes, even though it is actually over-confidence in some places). I admire that she has the confidence to nominate herself as the best performer without bothering to act humble. Coupled that with the fact that she appears to be hardworking and really trying her best in the tasks, I feel that actually she is a worthy contender.
Whether Vanita wins or not, I want her to stay in the house to the end. Because of her, the other faces of the other contestants are revealed. Everyone else will probably just be nice to everyone's else face and nasty behind their backs if she was not there to call out the bullshit sometimes.
