Can we know who voted for BRC. Just wanted to know
I did. B'cos the way it was presented, there were plenty of people who thought it was genuine. That is not a problem w/ any of the subsequent shows that I listed - first the number of people who saw them was far fewer, and also, they were done a lot less elaborately. But the way BRC was done, and given that it ran when there was a TV monopoly, there was a whole generation of people who believed all the invented bhashans that ran throughout the serial.
Can someone summarize the events of the episodes since Monday?

^^ What happened??
Vasudev Paundrak gives start of episode moral gyaan. He continues giving moral gyaan to his son Paundrak JR. Paundrak JR says he did not come here to listen to his moral gyaan and leaves angrily. He then goes to Laxmana's room and says he came. Laxmana runs and hugs him. Paundrak jr also hugs her tight and they both look at each other happily.
After some time, all guests gather for the ceremony. Shakuni apologizes Virat raj on Duryodhan's behalf and starts praising Virat raj. Virat raj thinks he must be up to something and is buttering him. Shakuni asks Paundrak if he can have a proposal with his permission. Paundrak says everyone has right to express their proposal. Shakuni says Virat raj he wants Virat rajkumar Uttar's marriage with Duryodhan's daughter Laxmana. Laxmana and Samb are shocked to hear that. Virat raj asks how can it happen. Bheem says Duryodhan wants Virat to be on his side during war and is tricking. Shakuni says even Paundrak is tricking by getting his nephew Abhimanyu married to Uttara.
Virat says whatever happened recently, he is not convinced with this proposal. Shakuni asks to forget the past and think of a new proposal and bonding. Virat raj agrees. Shakuni says it is time for celebration of new bonding between Virat and Hastinapur. Pandavs and Krishna fume seeing Shakuni's tricks.
Precap: Paundrak Jr tells Paundrak either he is fooling him that he loves him or he is fooling whole world. Laxmana tells Shakuni that she loves Paundrak Jr and will marry only him, even if she has to go against her father Duryodhan.

So this serial has created a triangle b/w Samba, Lakshmanaa & Uttar? 🤪
Even if that had gone thru, since Uttara had married Abhimanyu, Virat would still be obligated towards the Pandava side.
Also, Lakshmanaa & Samba did not have a romantic relationship. SB clearly shows that Lakshmanaa was abducted @ her swayamvar by Samba. Lakshmanaa actually disdained Samba and didn't pick him, but he grabbed her and drove off anyway. Problem was that once Samba touched her, she was considered defiled for anyone but him.
Samba did flee the scene w/ Lakshmanaa, but was intercepted by Bheeshma, Drona et al and captured. Since Laksmanaa couldn't be put back for a swayamvara, that was a non starter, but the Kauravas imprisoned Samba as well. So Balarama came to Hastinapur to plead for Samba's release, but the Kauravas refused. Balarama then using his hala uprooted Hastinapur and immersed it in the Ganga, and the Kauravas panicked, and not only did they release Samba, they also gave Lakshmanaa in marriage to him (since she was otherwise useless for them anyway).
This incident most likely took place during the Pandava exile, and probably when Krishna was away meeting them, which would explain why Balarama, rather than Krishna, had to go to Hastinapur to rescue him.
