well its simple. The reason they are sticking up for ishita is because they notice the panchayat will never eliminate monica. It was ishitas turn to go that day but tomorrow it will be one of them who is up against monica. The panchayat will end up saving monica. 😕So one by one, they will all be gone and monica will win. This is why they have a problem. They said how "if this is how its going to be, just make monica desi girl now" When they heard that it was ish that the panchayat picked, the girls wanted to know the reason [because the panchayat always gives a reason] but if you noticed, they had absolutely no answer for the girls on sunday. They had no reason to eliminate her. They never answered why..they kept ignoring the question.
PS- sorry for writing an essay..😆
