Why the actual eff is this sh!t being discussed in the house?
Ek toh anyone who has half a brain knows how these things work outside. Bringing up how the tweets are trending is really not a good reflection of the show's own character arcs, which works best when it exists in its own world as much as possible. (Before anyone says Paras said it, remember the team decided to keep it prominently in the edit). Plus this season has made the PR factor stand out like anything. Rakhi Sawant, who is eating up the entire screenspace and is one of the most discussed contestant (positive and/or negative) barely has any online fandom activity. Sab illusion hai. Not saying there aren't dedicated fans, of course, but the majority of the tweets, especially working over time in algorithmic pattern to 'appear' organic over hours and hours is pure bs, and anyone with a basic knowledge of the internet knows this.
The captive reality element of the show has all been blown off the lid. Last year Shilpa Shinde exposed the fact that Shukla was using Whatsapp. Then again Paras himself admitted to Salman last year that he communicated with his girlfriend through creatives when he was out for surgery, which Akansha later refuted openly. He talked to his stylist directly. Chalo at least they tried to keep the illusion alive by making Sid say the nonsense about the missing clock in the hospital or whatever. 😆 But now this season has really crossed the limits. If supporters are here to give them live feedback of their own performance and fan engagement in the show, then tbh, this show is dead. It will keep trying to appear more and more meta and 'inside' in later seasons and eventually all the mystique will completely die.
