Why followers are becoming more important than games
New Delhi:
The likes of Shilpa Shinde, Siddharsh Shukla, Gautam Gulati and Ruby are some of the winners of Bigg Boss who are often remembered for their game. All of them belonged to the world of TV and played a game in the Bigg Boss house to cut their rivals to pieces. Play the original game and on your own. Neither formed any group nor walked on the support of anyone. Of course he was a TV star, but when he big sir By the time I arrived, its luster had faded. But came to Bigg Boss and played in such a way that it was fun to watch. A very original personality was shown. Siddharth Shukla’s season is considered to be the best ever, hardly any contestant has played the way he has. But if we look at the past few winners of Bigg Boss, it seems that now the makers of the show prefer to focus on contestants who have more followers on social media than content.

An example is Bigg Boss 16 winner MC Stan. who did not play a game all season. I would leave the show with the same rut all the time. Or keep taunting Priyanka Chaudhary Chahal and swearing. But as said his fan following is tremendous, so the whole season was dragged by other contestants but the trophy went to MC Stan. Throughout the season, MC Ste played alongside Sajid Khan, Shiv Thackeray and Abdu Rogic. Overall, while his fans were happy with MC Stan’s win, Bigg Boss fans definitely got a big shock.
Now talking about Bigg Boss OTT Season 2, the makers were completely focused on YouTubers and social media influencers. It doesn’t matter how much content they can provide. Names like Elvish Yadav, Abhishek Malhan, Manisha Rani, Puneet Superstar and Ashika Bhatia came up. While Abhishek Malhan was walking away thinking himself a winner, Manisha Rani was running out of words after a while. Ashika could not understand what she had come to do throughout the game. On the other hand, what Elvis Yadav said about Babika blew people’s minds. Fans were hoping for a healthy fight between Abhishek Malhan and Elvis Yadav. Here too there was disappointment. Both did brotherhood. Abhishek Malhan, who had a fierce attitude, immediately weakened against Elvish. If he had fought Elvish, he would have won the game. But here the fear of the brotherhood and followers overcame him.
Abhishek Malhan aka Fukra Insaan sat throughout the show hoping that the show would benefit his followers and he would emerge as a winner. But Elvish became a bigger influence than him, and by the time Fukra Insan came to his last day, he had stopped speaking. However, Fukra Insa worked hard throughout the show. But he also left the game because of the followers and elvish and showed his hand only to a select few.
Now talking about Elvish Yadav, he was a wild card entry. Throughout the show he looked very confident that he was going to win the show. The only reason was his followers. Thus, as soon as Elvish arrived, most of the housemates realized that he was a winner. Not only this, apart from Babika and Avinash, none of the other members were seen hanging out with Elvish Yadav. Thus the show became one sided and Elvish Yadav won the show without doing anything based on his followers. Thus, this is the second season of Bigg Boss which was one-sided and where the winner knew that he would win based on his followers. He doesn’t need to show power like Siddharth, move with originality like Rubina or show swag like Gautam Gulati.
