Salman Khan keeping saying that it is audience who will decide the fate of the contestants but reality is way different. This season doesnt want any eviction at all

Week 11 - No Elimination
Out of 11 weeks, There is NO ELIMINATION in 6 Weeks. In the remaining 5 Weeks , Tina and Sreejita are already brought back. So technically just 3 eliminations took place in 11 weeks.
So its very clear that voting for the contestants is just waste of time.
Yes it is,IMO it has dual purpose,one the format of voting gives definite direction to how audience are perceiving each HM that helps BB team to come up with tasks,activities that could spice up equations between HMs & the flow can draw more viewership,second it makes audience feel personally involved in the process,the flux of weekly participation piques interest ..non eviction & re-entering are different story 😆
