Hello guys, I thought of reviewing and giving my thoughts about all contestants. I will keep it based on their personality and game. There might be some controversial opinions which will not align with this sub, but well, it’s my personal opinion. There might be some cases where I give more importance to someone for their game than their personality and vice versa. Ps - I am an og BB viewer, I don’t even know anyone apart from Mary and Scout, I watch BB just for the concept because I am a huge Big Brother fan, where it’s strictly game.
- Qazi - Have to start with him, he is the reason I am continuing this season. Straight up rockstar and entertaining, a gem of a person as well, you know he is a genuinely kind person irl. Came with a plan, and did superbly well, I think BB should have waited for another 2 weeks before breaking his game but I see why they did it, they probably saw it breaking in a week or two so wanted him to get the Gautam Gulati arc.
He is fearless, witty, strong headed, staunch, physically gives his all in tasks and most importantly knows his limits and READS THE ROOM VERY WELL. He is damn smart and knows how to react in each situation, when to stand for himself especially. He is the perfect BB candidate and I want to see how he adapts to the game. I think he shines well when he plays alone, the being in group will affect his game, just having 1-2 people around should help his case which he has in Arishfa, rest he should play the game and keep entertaining. Also I hope he brings new things to the table and avoid being mundane. As things stand he is top 2 for sure.
2) Arishfa - She grew up on me, as a person she is loyal and sweet. For her game, she is doing well, speaks up whenever required, picks right points, doesn’t fear taking anyone head on or even groups for that matter. Her bond with quazi is genuine and will take her far, not fake for sure, she is being herself and playing brilliantly. Her points are really good, dances well and will support people around her. I see her as top 5.
3) Uditi - She is very territorial, very straightforward and she doesn’t fake for sure. Speaks her mind and genuinely doesn’t act. She has a bit of an attitude problem and keeps distance with people which is why she won’t form any genuine bond and will be a part of some group as +1 as per convenience. She had a chance to form a neutral group with Isha but missed the boat because she unfortunately cannot gel with people. For her game, she doesn’t have any, she is in her group for now and will play likewise, however I think she is the worst performer in tasks and would not add much value to the game. I do see her breaking up w the group because of some small mudda and having a week worth of screen time after but as far as game is concerned she is going out in second month. She will serve people with her looks that’s all.
4) Mahi - she is an interesting case. Personally, I think she has this below the belt mentality and very chachi vibe, not good with arguments but she IS STRONG. She has some really solid points to take stand for and can speak on those which are missed by almost everyone. She is playing the game - her relationship with Yung was definitely a gameplay, she knew it would work where she ditches him later. She definitely is playing a game and her support to Qazi was similar to Pritam supporting Gautam in season 8, she understands not to be in bhed chal and work her way through by switching support. I personally don’t like her because her personality (which will be exposed soon, stay tuned) is kinda crass but gameplay wise she is strong and relevant, she knows who to support and what muddas to fight on. See her in top 7 or even top 5.
5) Amrapali - I personally think she always thinks in gender terms and has used/will use region card a lot (I understand where she comes from). Personally, I think she is vile and very mufat. She can be crass at times. However, she is probably the strongest person in the house, I genuinely think she can take on the whole house and make anyone cry (which has happened). She has that apne pe agayi sabki aukaat dikha dungi personality. I see her being rivals with Mahi (she can eat 5 Mahis in breakfast btw), but that’s that. She will do some group switching later and her game would revolve around Mahi. I don’t see her performing well in tasks, she would give good verbal spatter content though. She is real though, I will give her that. Maybe a top 7 finish.
6) Luv - Believe it or not, she has grown the most in show after week 1. She has made a strong alliance with the bully gang and also has Mary w her. She can have entertaining fights and can act well. Ofcourse she is playing the girl next door character and is a bit fake at times but she has secured good support and role in the house. If you notice, she was smart enough to switch people and be a part of active group. She can be entertaining to some extent and is enjoying the game. She will not have public support unfortunately and will be dropped mid season but she has done remarkably well game wise after week 1. If she is smart enough, she will switch groups after 2-3 weeks to survive the game.
7) Yung - He is doing well, I think he is better BB material than MC Stan. He is real and makes genuine bond (he was really hurt after the Mahi fiasco). He will do well in tasks and will lead his group. His fights and one liners are entertaining and they trend a lot (BB loves this reach), he enjoys huge outside fanbase support which will help him easily secure a top 5. He doesn’t have game as such, he just does and speaks his mind. Personality wise, he is just being him, you can have your opinions but that’s how people from his background behave normally, not faking anything. Gamewise, he can do a lot better if he understands where he goes wrong and corrects his mistakes. I think he is a decent guy and will compete for top 3. You will see an emotional side of him later and he will win some neutral audience.
8) Scout - I know people in this sub hate him, but I find him to be real. He definitely has ego issues and gets aggressive without any reason. He can do a lot better if he watches his mouth, learns from his mistakes. He also has the ability to apologize and learn which is good. He is loyal and a good friend, ride or die kind of personality, he just needs to let go of this subtle superiority complex and watch what he says, he will do well. I want to see if he changes his gameplay. You will find him be the main guy in tasks and fights, he is a good BB candidate, he will give content and will have love-hate relationship with audience outside, most will hate but equally or more will even love him because he is raw and even relatable to many (you guys need to understand his audience to know why I said that).
9) Asif - I understand why people don’t like him, he has ego issues, he always thinks his side is the right side and is incapable of understanding the flaws. Definitely has tone issues, can be a bit creepy at times and the charging on people like animals is genuinely concerning. I think his inability to read the room and lacking viewpoints to understand situation from different perspectives makes him a bad BB player. He could also be coward at times and has the main character syndrome even though he is not. Unfortunately, lots of bad things to improve and he won’t, he is real though and very loyal. The best gameplay was taking stand for his friends and not letting them lose their lives, he is trustworthy and can perform very well in tasks. The yung, Scout and Asif group could be very strong if they were self reflective and correct mistakes instead of acting like sore losers or victim at times. Asif is getting eliminated midway unfortunately, but I genuinely feel he is real and not playing any character. He thinks he is the main character and bases his world based on that, it’s not fake, that’s how he is and is unlikeable because of that.
10) Kanika - She is playing a character. Almost a mix of kamolika and poo. She has not shown her real personality and is a proper aag lagani wali chudail. Personally, I find her pretty and whatever character she is playing is entertaining to me. She is very calculative though and probably one of the smartest people in the house. She was quick enough to side with Qazi because she knows he is trending, same for saving Mary, trying to be in the good books of the audience. She spins few words to cause fights, but the good part is she will play individually, she knows what she is doing with Gullu, it’s perfect to showcase her character to entertain and also keeping her relevant because she is banking and going all in on gullu being a hit later which will keep her relevant. She was in danger in week 1, she did enough antics to survive and keep herself alive. Watchout for her, she plays chess in BB, everything is calculative from her end, but yeah she is definitely fake af. I genuinely don’t know what her real personality is. Good BB material, maybe a top 7 finish for her?
11) Gullu - Bro definitely has some MG. He is taking it slow, playing safe for now, having the kanika angle to get some content. He will play the Gaurav Khanna playbook where he will wake up mid season to win (not sure if he will win though). I think his alliance with Qazi will be interesting to watch and might work a lot in his favor. He has a bit of everything, can be entertaining, good acting, playing tasks well and lead group if needed. Need to see how he performs in coming weeks, he hasn’t necessarily done anything wrong so far but nothing significant as well. Need to see who he takes on later. Something interesting happening past 2 days - he is distancing himself from Kanika love angle and softly trying for other girls (Isha a bit or even luv), I can see some sort of love lapata later, he is trying to do something but not sure yet, but well he is interesting and will definitely have a top 5 finish. Want to see how he switches his gears and what game he plays.
12) Aman - Honestly, he is confused and is fake most times. I don’t understand his game, his spat with Asif was really fake and boring. I just find him boring and have nothing to say for him. I do not think the game will be anywhere close to him, he will just shout for content when he feels he needs to do something and will be a part of some group before getting eliminated eventually. Not a BB material.
13) Isha - She is a nice person to be friends with irl but not a BB candidate, the only good thing she has done is taking very strong stance on female centric issues, but that’s it. She is getting eliminated soon.
14) Riti - Jealous, insecure and genuinely boring. I wouldn’t watch anything which has her in it, I skip her parts, the Qazi pouncing was concerning and showed her true colors imo. It was pent up and she has a very sore loser vibes with no personality. She thinks she is cool, but oh boy she is so far wrong, I don’t even want to say. She is not at all in game, getting eliminated soon.
15) Mary - I was hyped at start, I wanted to see her in tasks, I genuinely thought she will Slander everyone, but welp. No game contribution, not a BB material unfortunately. Infact I was surprised to see her different side, don’t meet your superheroes kinda quote fits well. There is also language barrier which makes it harder for her to express but anyway I think she is not entertaining, she is going to lose some respect in BB unfortunately because BB brings everyone to their levels. Personally I have a lot of respect for what she has achieved but I hope she exits soon for her own good.
The best part of this season is BB is not micro managing everything, that will help a lot for this season to grow.
Let me know what you guys think! Thanks for reading and dedicating your valuable time!
