What was the point of getting an audience where everybody was rooting for Mandali only? Whereas why do i find only non-mandali supporters around me?
I have a reaally reaallly bad feeling of Shiv and Stan as top 2 after watching today's episode! Really hope thats not true!
Bold - Just like in this forum (I think that's what you mean by people around you), the people who were brought inside the house represent a very small subset of the entire audience pool of BB. Now whether this subset holds the same opinion as yours or not is purely coincidental if the sample is truly free from biases. Unfortunately, both the subsets (people brought inside and people here) are not free from biases and so it might give a person an illusion of having/being in the majority.
To get the actual picture, a thorough screening of all modes of media and data collected from actual voting trends matter. Just because a niche audience likes a particular housemate doesn't mean that when the whole pool is considered the result will reflect that.
