However, when it comes to this situation with Sha I think there is some reason for her clinginess.
- she comes from one parent house, where the father is the authority. Though I don't know her what little I've seen of her father my impression is he rules her, tells where what to do in terms of her career and etc. Out of all the contestants in the house Sha is very alpha - meaning he can take charge just by his sheer aggressive and behaviour and given her background, she latched on to him. An older man represents safety and in her mind, will take care of her if things get bad.
- the House is a pit of snakes. You need a lot of life experience to play the mind games they are doing, the cunning some showing (Tina). And 18yr old - no matter how long she has worked - is not a match simply because they have not lived as much as the others and only by living do you gain the experience and the savviness to understand others. Even Abdu, only an year old, is left clueless at times and needs the others to explain. Sumbul has no one beside Sha and as we all have seen he is savvy and playing his own game and not above using her for the numbers.
- It is a number game. The more followers you have, the more likely you will stay the longest and may win as well. Sha and Tina know this very, very well. They are using one another because they recognise each other as the longest from the tv industry. Then Sumbul, they find out has huge followers. With her father coming, they were given another clue that BB is keeping an eye on her (my personal belief is that it is due to her mental health, she was bad the first week or two) and that she of some consequence. This is why they both keep her stringing on. I would like to think Sha has some decency, realises that Sumbul is holding on to him like a anchor in the wild boat ride that is the BB house and so he is kind to her whilst keeping a firm stance from it advancing to anything personal.
Sumbul, I don't think she has deep feelings for him beyond he is her friend. Out of everyone, she is very loyal to him and I think Sha knows this. She is very attached to him, it is obvious from her traumatised action from the stan/sha argument. She definitely got scared, and in her mind she thinks she has to protect him from everyone and anything that could harm him. Out of everyone, her emotions were very genuine but Tina took it and twisted it into something ugly. Sumbul does herself no favour as well, she needs to sit down and make it clear so (we) and the HM can hear it. But I think she is very private by nature and is also too young to understand that opening up can help her - in this, she is typical teen. They find it difficult to open up about their emotions and talk about what is happening. Somewhere I also think she knows she will be ridiculed.
