Nikki's move today and our internalized misogyny - Page 5

For the game she did the right thing but for the vision it didn't look good.

Exactly! You said it better than I could.

In no way am I saying what she did wasn't embarassing or cringing. I couldn't watch through it myself. But at the end of the day, what she is the very essence of 'saam daam dand bhed.' She had a task to win and she did.

I agree with you and NepaliArtist.

I was mildly upset yesterday when almost every reviewer bashed Nikki and even on twitter almost every one bashed her, when I to thought she was smart and used her brain when she knew she can't survive against physical strength.

Come on in other tasks also people have kept inside t shirts and pant pockets.

I quite like her game . What she said is true I don't trust anyone. U play for myself and saam dham Shane bhed within rules of the game is ok

Only thing I will not support her is when she said Rahul asked her to keep ooper. He meant table and not what she m u or said

While I found the move quite bad, I can understand why Nikki did it. If Rahul can use physical force and intimidate women , it was well within the game rules for Nikki to use this tactic.

It is the INTENT you have to question, not the act.

Nikki’s act of hiding the mask in her pants (crotch area) was INTENDED to make the *male* opponent not only weak, BUT TOTALLY HELPLESS!

You expected an INDIAN MAN on INDIAN NATIONAL TELEVISION to pull away Nikki’s pants and stick his hand inside it to grab the mask? IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE??? Are you telling me that PHYSICAL STRENGTH is now comparable to ACTS OF IMMORALITY? Yes, Nikki’s act was immoral in all senses, just the way her intent was.

So the question is, if this was Nikki’s resort to beat physical strength a man possesses, what is the man’s response to it? Don’t forget that if the task was purely done through physical strength, Nikki wouldn’t have been HELPLESS!! She would have had used PS too, because she COULD!! Acts of physical strength do not equate to acts of immortality.

She should have been kicked out of the show for her audacity!

Since you actually bothered opening this thread and raising your POV, please tell me this: If BB is the Indian franchised version of the parent show Big Brother, why aren’t the show masters incorporating the nudity, consensual sex, and other acts that are regarded as adult content, on the Indian show? It is after all the format of the parent show and we are discussing freedom of expression here. Right?

WRONG!

Our society, no matter how modern and advanced, DOES NOT allow us to cross certain lines. We may be westernized or modernized in our lifestyles, but our thought process and CULTURAL VALUES bar us from indulging in certain acts. Yes, they may be acceptable or OK in other, more open or freer societies, but guess what, the Indian cultural and value system isn’t there yet, and there’s absolutely NOTHING wrong with that!

Nikki played unfairly and without any respect for her own cultural and social background! Her intent was clear!!!

Thank you, K. I wanted to, but Nikki is turning into a bag of filth and any extra attention for her is unwarranted.

I get it but people should understand another interesting perspective you made, so Id say go for it!

I agree. I did not find anything wrong in this.

And she chose to do it abruptly , it wasn't her intent , it was her instinct. You could see Rahul using all his muscle strength to snatch it from Nikki and then she used it to her advantage. I don't find it cheap.

Rahul was hurt & pissed which is understandable as well. And it's true if Rahul would have done it , he would have been bashed left and right.

But I don't find anything wrong in what she did. His first line of defence is his physical strength , Niki had to do something to win right ?

I just think she shouldn't have taken the mask away even before Rahul could reach the stage. That's it.

The rest , I don't see anyone at fault.

YOU ARE SORELY MISTAKEN!!!
