And I agreed in part, in my previous post - that there’s a bunch of phattus there this season who choose to set aside their self-respect in order to avoid bashing and humiliation on the weekends. They shouldn’t have to make that choice though is my point. And I disagree that these weekends are not as bad as previous seasons - different but not any less - I don’t recall a previous season where women were told to stay out of a man’s path or even worse - a time when Sallu was a desperate apologist for aggression, and stooped to justifying repeated violence. They at least made a pretense of bashing it.
And this season - it’s not just Sallu - it’s BB during the week - tasks, captaincies - it’s all manipulated around one contestant. That rigs the game and makes it pretty much unplayable. So no - I don’t think it’s simply down to people not being strong enough to withstand the bias and still oppose. As for “strong” contenders - like I said earlier, BB + Sallu mehrbaan toh ghadha bhi pehlwan = BB13 IMO.
Happy belated birthday SP ji. 😊
@Bold - Personally, I'd love for the show to have an even playing field too, par makers ke liye to ye business ka sawal hai na. Whether we like it or not, a major section of the audience wants a Bollywoodesque script. Jahan ek hero/heroine saari msuhkilon se lad ke aage badhe.
Makers ko jahan se content ki ummed hogi/jahan zyada investment ki hogi/jiski zyada fan following hogi usko favour karenge hi karenge. They need someone to rise as the hero of the house. Then they'll create an entire arc for that hero. They can be shown as an isolated loner, targeted masoom or an amazing gamer who is much smarter than everyone else.
Ab depend mainly baaki logon pe hi karta hai ki vo iss bias se kaise deal karte hain. Inn logon me se koi ek bhi strong player hota to ye HSSH vaali naubat aati hi nai. Contestants ko jaane se pehle hi mentally prepared hona chahiye ki narrative hmare against biased bhi ho sakta hai.
Par khair baithe baithe bolne me mera kya jaa rha hai. Jhel to vo log hi rhe hain sab, mushkilein unn logon ko hi samajh aa rahi hongi.😆
