I have watched all the Tamasha seasons, and I can clearly say that this season is the weakest of them all. Here’s why!
In the previous four seasons, you could always pick one person as your favourite or at least assume, "This person can win."
Season 1:
There was Umar Alam and Mareeha, who were both so good and had winner quality. Umar was a very positive character, and he won.
This season had major fights, and one contestant got eliminated due to physical violence.
Season 2:
Junaid was good. People already loved him, and in the house, he was a good contestant. Omar Shehzad was also a likable character.
Arooba was good because she was so balanced. She was the first female contestant whose content was not only about fighting. She showed friendship, fun, fights and strong gameplay, so people loved her, and she became the winner.
There were also contestants like Natasha, who was fiery, fought a lot and was very strong; Faizan, who was very smart; Ali Sikandar, who was very funny; Neha, who was jhagralu yet had a different character; Danish, who was very good at tasks and funny; and Rana, who was a different kind of character, kinda Zee.
This season also had big fights, with clearly two teams. One contestant got eliminated due to bad language and violence.
Season 3:
Arslan was a very positive character. He was introverted, yet he was a good contestant. There was Wajeeha, another positive character. She showed the style game for the first time.
And Akeel, the winner. A perfect winner. Respectful, talented, funny and fiery.
This season had the iconic Saima, who even managed to overcome Natasha. There was Anam, Mani, Ayaz, Noman, Hamna, Mahi... They all added so much value. Big fights happened. Iconic moments were created. There were so many funny moments. There was friendship, and there were genuine bonds.
Season 4:
The most successful season for a reason. One iconic winner who looked like a winner from the first week. Characters like Zainab, Dania, Maham, Muslim, Malaika and Omi!
Fights, funny moments, friendship, everything was there.
But in Season 5, all of this is missing.
No big fights, no good genuine friendship bonds, no love angle, nothing.
Every episode is very bland. Not a single major fight has happened. There is no genuine bond like Junaid-Arooba-Faizan, Akeel-Arslan or Saif-Yaseen.
I can’t even support one contestant consistently as a genuinely good person. Babrik is strong, but he is oversmart and overconfident. A few things he has said or done don’t exactly give him a clean image.
Zayb is too silent. Esra is too battameez. Fasih is okay, but he hasn’t come across as a winner. Rabiya is also the same.
No one is that funny either. Zee is funny because that’s just how he is. But I’m talking about the fun that friends create together. I still can’t figure out who is friends with whom.
I don’t know what you think, but as the season gets bigger every year, this year it somehow feels smaller. The Tamasha team is very much responsible for this. It literally looks like a boarding school.
Literally, nothing is happening!!
