This is a very disturbing trend and I personally believe this too is a strategy that viewers are getting obsessed with the day to day happenings.some of you may say stop watching big boss.but in reality we scream rant shout at them but when it's time we automatically switch to colours and watch this show.just a few days ago one of my friends who is a very successful business person ,practical but a seasoned watcher could not get sleep I mean losing sleep because we find Armaan is back in spite of accusations .is BB getting into our thought process and if so why should this happen. Do you feel the same.can we please have some healthy discussion.

I won't lie, I have had a lot of health issues (won't go into details) during this season most of which are stress triggered. This season is very emotionally draining but like you say it is also very addictive at the same time. I avoid watching the full episodes and just see the videos on midday + uncensored.

No doubt this show is addictive but I find this forum addictive too.

It's fun to read other people's post even if some are really senseless and stupid.

I am sure I am gonna be back next season regardless of what I say now.

We should never let anyone affect the way we live our life -- if you are letting them get to you then you are probably doing something wrong. If you are getting affected over this show then there is a whole world out there full of people like Armaan, Tanisha, Gauhar, Andy how are you going to face them?

Put yourself before others, believe everyone trust no one and don't give so much importance to anyone in your life.

That was a wonderful insight and observation .Thank you all.whatever said and done this forum has some awesome point of views and command over the language. Liked being here.let good sense also prevail in bb but sadly cannot even say may the best man or best woman win

I was severely affected last year in BB 6. Especially after Imam's entry.I used to get nightmares of being publicly abused and yelled at by strangers. I even became afraid to walk anywhere least someone should pick a fight with me for some non existent issue.

Worst of all I suddenly took a serious dislike for people who were loud and assertive. Caused me some grievance😆

Decided to stay away this year purely for the sake of my sanity.

Great thread sabriji. I have wondered the same at times. What is it that makes you involved ?

I will give you my personal account. Please note this is NOT intended to be a contestant bashing.

I like everyone except Armaan. I think, I have led a very sheltered life and cant bear the thought to meet someone like him. Hence, I clap when he is arrested and back Sofia. I fool myself that world is getting better my teaching lesson to Armaan or may be I am fighting with my own insecurities. I cant let the world full of Armaans. They are threat to ME.

When Tanisha does not oppose him, I feel helpless, Armaan has personally defeated MEand hence I get upset with her.

When gau talks a lot, I get upset again because it remind me of some big-mouthed colleagues of the past who cost ME opportunity. Even the wound is healed, the scar remains and it is open when I find someone like gau who is dominating, nice but illogical, forcing wrong things on others (out of her strong belief of what is right or wrong).

When she progresses in the game due to being overbearing, I have been wronged and I must protect myself by hating her and thinking ill of her. Animal in me want to see her crushed,helpless.

I dont mind Sangram because he is calm, composed. He is no threat to me. He is double-dholki.. I am too and its okay. Because I am justifying myself by justifying him.

I can find such traits in every contestant which resonate with my past experience. This forms my opinions. Actually, these are frustrations of mine. Now I look at everyone thru that tinted projection and stereotype them.

So when Tanisha fights back with Armaan, I have scored a victory. When Salman scolds Gauhar for her interference, its a slap to that past which can never be rectified. There are no absolutes .. Just conditioned response of my past. I may pat myself for hating some hm or being fan of someone, I am satisfying illusive ego of mine.

English has a beautiful word To express this feeling.. "vicarious" . I live thru vicariously.. An impotent, hollow life for that moment, if naked truth be told.
