I disagree, was never an avid viewer till season 7. It was so effin interesting and that time it was genuine viewers and trends and people were actually very involved and live feeds were being constantly watched and discussed as well. From season 8 which was heavily one sided there started crazy pr activities during and after this season..
Season 7 was a like blockbuster movie with hero heroine, villains and not to mention Ajaz was very entertaining.
Season 8 was very good but one sided.
Season 11 was according to me the most interesting where everyone was real and Hina specifically being a big name dint become image conscious and gave her all. From game point of view this season had it all and they dint need fights to survive, the mind games were bang on. Vikas was raw and took the game to a new level. Arshi, Shilpa were great entertainers.
Season 13 isn't really the greatest i feel. Their energy levels were great but there were no proper tasks done.. Rashmi's and Virima's real life drama added to the drama quotient and were aptly used by creatives. Sidnaz cringeworthy romance was unwatchable, Sidsim fights were repetitive. But overall I loved Asim's performance and those amazing monologs where he outshines and showed an amazing personality. Sidharth is strong and intimidating and Asim the way he gave him back was awesome.
What I have noticed is when one season is too successful next season gets high expectations and its always disappointing only season 8 matched bcos of ppl like Puneet Issar who was so unexpected, Aly, Diandra where they were an interesting bunch n some one like Dipshhika was evicted early. But as expected season 9 bombed and so did season 12 so yeah season 14 had great expectations as well and there is still a hangover of season 13. Wait till some new contestants rock in next seasons and it will be over as well.
