I was amongst the ones who had given up on this season with the contestants still being lost even at the end of 3rd week but to be fair for them this third week is the first actual week where they got to play by themselves.
The real season has just started this the last week.
The shifting group dynamics was an interesting watch in the captaincy task. They did try strategizing and making alliances .. there definitely was some efforts being put in. A couple of weeks more and clear base groups would be formed too. I can already see a strong bond forming between Nikki and Pavitra.
Eijaz will have a strong group/bond with Kavita coming in.
Jaan/Nishant have their bromance thing going on.. Nishant might completely join hands with Rubina and gang but this gang is still missing a super motivated person, maybe Shardul or Naina would fill in the space.
The thing that was missing till now in my opinion was the drive to win, people weren't motivated enough but with the wild cards entering it should take the game to the next level.
