Phew!! Finally finished watching the entire episode.. Few random thoughts..
1) It's pointless to feel empathy for any of these contestants because at the end of the day they are all gonna go home with hefty pay cheques.. Shalin for instance was the one wronged not Tina like Salman said and his outbursts here and there, especially the part where he questioned the logic of BB asking Tina to judge whether or not Stan should stay, was totally justified.. That was the one moment in the entire episode where I felt like I finally heard some logic.. Then he did a self goal with the comment that had Sumbul been there she would've given the verdict in his favor ergo if Tina has friends (like Stan) so does he.. I dunno if Salman improvised on spot..if he's really that sharp to pick that point and make it about male ego and twist it to justify the maker's script where they want ShaTina together, or the entire WKV was scripted, but Shalin totally succeeded in putting BB and Salman in a spot with that very valid point he raised..the point where he asked if Shiv got to decide about Archana's fate, in this case why was Tina asked to take the decision..Archana had begged and apologized even if it was all acting...here Stan was openly ridiculing him.. Gave me immense pleasure to watch that chhapri eat his words and apologize..also his bouncer Shiv who is now happily kissing Shalin because of course now chicken boy is the ''action hero''.. That loser went scot free but that's fine I guess.. doesn't matter if Sajjo hails him a star and thinks he can win this season, he is not winning..makers are not gonna course correct him..he will remain in his bubble till as long as he lasts..when he watches the season after he gets evicted hopefully he will realize what a loser he has looked onscreen..
2)Tina's glorification was needed to get ShaTina back together.. happily holding hands now!! what actors these two are.. I don't expect Nimrit to ask her such a direct question.. But I want Sajid to ask her - ''What happened to all those talks about being conscious of her image, the brand name that is Tina, now that she is shouting from roof tops how these two are in love..? Is she ok linking her name with Shalin now? She had a field day today.. sent back into Shalin's arms, hailed as his perfect partner.. Salman also personally recommended her name to Team Sajjo because she saved Stan.. now it'l be interesting to see if they keep the promise they made to her before the fav non fav task.. I am waiting to see how this chhapri gang re-adjust their strategy to accommodate the two people they don't trust- Shalin and Tina..
3.) Sumbul - Cannot help but feel bad for her.. Everyone dumped her like hot potato.. the brutal assault by Salman and Tina, Nimrit too, was not fun to watch at all. Even Sajid and his chhapris dumped their secret weapon..I have said this before and I say it again, even if its obsession, she is not committing a crime or doing anything aesthetically unpleasant to watch on TV.. So she hugs him..clings to him..if makers have a problem with that give her clear instructions in CR instead of making a spectacle of her in-front of everyone..Salman and these guys looked like cold blooded sadists, when she was crying..I felt for her today.. This whole drama around Sumbul was only to remove her from ShaTina's equation.. If after today Sumbul goes near those two, then I will say she deserves what she got..Otherwise if I could give any advice to her, I would say be Ankit, stay in the house, do nothing, collect your pay cheque every week and just hope her fans somehow keep her till Tina gets evicted.. Tina should get evicted before Sumbul.. I hope and pray that Tina is humiliated by audience feedback.. It was irksome to watch her gloat and smirk today..
4.) Shalin of course disappointed in the end by going back to that woman.. and I dunno if he believes what he said about Tina being right all along and that he should've listened to her, or not but atleast he successfully exposed her and BB's hypocrisy in the end.. For that I am happy.. He got Stan and Shiv's apology hence vindicated.. Now with clear cut instructions of dumping Sumbul and being with Tina..and a not so subtle reminder through hand gestures by Salman himself of how much he would have to pay for his threat to leave if he actually does leave, he had his work cut out for him..akhir apni dukan ise bhi chalani hai..
5.) Salman sounded like a moron today.. Don't show intelligence, show heart? 🤔 who says that LMAO! Stan did not get the kind of bashing I was hoping.. but the fact that host spend a total of 2-3 minutes of him, should tell him his aukaat on the show.. Same goes for Shiv.. Week after week, these two sit in the center completely ignored by the host even when the main issue involves them, doesn't mean they are right..It means they are not worth talking about..In that sense, Priyanka and Ankit both should be happy..especially Ankit, who doesn't do much and gets ridiculed, but atleast he gets discussed more than Shiv who does so much throughout the week, but in the WKV sits like a decked up groom in the center, royally ignored.. Won't even talk about Chhapri, adhi haddi Stan.. he's not worth mentioning..So I can utd why Salman wouldn't engage with him.. he will need an interpreter to understand Stan's language..Itna time, money and energy aise faltu contestant pe kon waste kare...
