Shamita's reasoning for being so eager to go in first and get Tejasswi out of the task seemed sketchy to me.
Firstly she claimed that she wanted to be one of the firsts to enter because she is injured and didn't want to be a part of the stampede that would most certainly ensue to gain entry into the recording room and cause herself further injury. Seems plausible but then we all saw how everyone was pushing one another out of the way to get in first, for Shamita's reasons to hold ground, she should have moved away and not tried to claw her way into the room when she sensed things could get ugly but she didn't and even expressed her displeasure to Vishal that he didn't offer her his assistance. She was also pissed that someone else had gotten in prior to her.
Her second reason was that she wanted to be Captain, so she got Tejasswi out and would have done that to anyone but the people extremely close to her. Acceptable, but how would eliminating Tejasswi help her when there was a possibility existing at that point of time that her name could have been with Tejasswi. Did Jay tell her that he had her name prior to her going in to spill Teja's secret? I did not see Jay reveal it to her in the episode that aired and Jay's name wasn't on her list of contestants she was colluding with. If this was shown in the livefeed, do let me know. I'm honestly curious.
It's looks like to me that Shamita was in such a rush because she isn't particularly fond of Tejasswi and has issues with her. Beating around the bush claiming she did it for a magnitude of other reasons is bogus.
Shamita can't claim to be a straightforward person who doesn't play mind games and then not have the guts to say it to Teja's face that her actions were fuelled by her emotions. There's absolutely nothing wrong with disliking another contestant. If she was indeed as transparent as she claims to be she should've told Tejasswi straight up that she did it because of personal reasons and she is not a fan of Tejasswi. Simple. And if she doesn't wanna say it to her then that's cool too but don't try to bend the truth by using spurious reasons.
Shamita articulated her points better and ergo it seemed like she had the upper hand. Tejasswi fumbled a lot, probably because she was angered by what had happened or maybe because she isn't blessed with the great eloquence, but she did raise some valid points. Most of her apprehensions were well founded barring a select few that stemmed from her own jealousy.
Again, making it clear that I by no way mean that Shamita is supposed be best friends with Tejasswi. She has every right to dislike her and doesn't owe her anything. But she should own her actions and the emotions behind them, since she has always claimed to be an uninhibited woman.
