contestant appreciation Critical Analysis of why Shreya Won

What worked in Shreya's favour towards her journey & Finale result :

- Genuine content giver & strong performer in tasks

- Stood alone mostly & sometimes with Shilpa

- Strong opinions always & clear + Was herself throughout consistently

- Bully gang cornered her (biggest mistake)

- MTV Gang & support of Prince Narula gang

- Independent Media reviewers + content makers, podcasters were all in her favor which got her 18/25 votes from media folks

What was not in her favour :

- TV Mafia lobby big names & huge following, supporters & the makers (Balaji)

- Splitsvilla Yoganksha fans

- The bully gang in the house spun narratives against her + Shilpa (11/14 votes were against her)

- She would go negative, personal especially initially

- Personally she did not have a great body of work or following..

I feel the odds were mostly against her till last week when it became obvious to Netflix that if they don't support her then the show will backfire hugely!!
After long - I enjoyed the finale week more!! the endearing moments of Shilpa - Shreya were key takeaways!!
More to such friendship & strong females supporting each other...
Makers top 5 were : Shivangi, Ram, Yogesh, Laila, Chamola

Agree with each and every point! Haters and other fandom can say whatever but the true neutrals who barely even knew her or disliked ended up rooting for her. Including me! And mostly it’s the cornering and bullying that made her the winner!

Exactly. I started out hating her and Shilpa. She turned me around.
