Bigg Boss Season 5 Finalists: Pros and Cons of finalists Amar, Juhi, Mehak, Siddharth, Sky.
Jan 5th
Bigg Boss Season 5 grand finale is just 3 days to go. In the last week of the season BB offered all the finalists a suitcase with 15 lakhs to walk out of the finale if he or she is not confident. Whom do you people think that should walk out with the cash? Let us take a look into the journey and the good and bads of the finalists.
The lucky five finalists are Amar, Juhi, Mehak, Sidhharth and Akash aka Sky. Ranked on the basis of the Pros and cons and the message they are giving to the audience through their behavior in the house.
1. Siddhartha Bharadwaj, young, energetic and aggressive is the words that describe Sid. The former splits villa winner and MTV VJ Sid is the representation Indian youth. He is young, strong and competitive. His aggression is common in younger generation and it is in the hands of the elderly to mould the aggression of the youth into some thing progressive and useful. As per his journey in the BB5 house, he always followed somebody in the house as our children will do in our house. They could be lazy, stubborn and afraid, sad and happy like SID in the BB5 house. He always needed guidance but at the end he stands like a more sensible person than any other elder person in the house.
PROS: young, energetic, sensible, handsome, friendly, funny, he regrets his mistakes and learns from them.
CONS: aggressiveness, ready to fight, laziness and foul language
Sid stands on the 1st position on my list because despite his errors and wrongs he is the best person in the house compared to others. He is giving the message of “take the guidance of sensible elders and learn from your mistakes. Be strong when you are alone and stand for the right thing”.
2. Mehak Chahal, the model, actress and item girl is the mixture of agony and righteousness. She may have a past but it doesn’t matter in the BB5. She may be playing a game but not a dirty one like others. She makes herself stand straight to any accusations made by any of the housemates. She held herself More >

Bigg Boss Season 5: Salman Khan advised the housemates to behave!
Dec 19th
Bigg Boss Season 5: In the latest eviction episode of BB5 Shonali Nagarani was evicted from the house. That was not at all surprising but the actual surprise was when Salman Khan entered the house for a while to fill some common sense and decency in the brains of the remaining contestants.
He tried not to be rude to the overly rude contestants. He is very upset about Sky walking away while Mr. Sanjay Dutt is talking to him. He did that not once but twice.
As the episode starts Salman went to enter the house and Sanjay enter the house through the V-TV. Sky apologized for his behavior previous week but Mr. Dutt remained silent with some hand gesture which really not very positively meant that he forgave him. Then Sanjay asked Juhi that who are the 2 strongest male contestants in the house. She named Andrew Simmonds and Sky are the strongest and Sanjay arranged an arm wrestling game between those two in which andrew won the game.
Andrew went to the store room to get his prize and met Salman khan there. Both of them met sweetly and then Amar was there and surprised More >
Bigg Boss 5 Winner?
Dec 15th
Who will be Bigg Boss season 5 winner?? The BB house may be the most infamous house in India with its contestants and their dirty pasts, but this house is the most popular house too. Bigg Boss is the reality show with controversial contests trying to co-existing in a house detached from any type of communication from outside world. The show’s fifth season is on the run currently and is only 3 weeks far from its finale.
It need no introduction for the dedicated viewers. Some call this show a lunatic attempt to exploit human emotions but i think otherwise. I like to watch this show and analyze the human behavior under a restricted environment. Its like an experiment on human behavior and viewers response to the events is kind of amazing.
In my opinion none of the contestants are totally genuine or totally fake. But one thing I observed is… no one will be able to pretend for a long time. We will definitely see their true nature. I don’t want to be judgmental about anyone but want to give my opinion on contestants. I know none of the contestant personally and all I know about them is from media only.
With no offense to any body the first person I would come up with is Pooja Bedi. When she entered the house I liked her behavior, her ability to stand for the right things. But with the entry of Sky the equation and my opinion both changed. She favored him completely started supporting his loud behavior. After she formed a group with Sky, Juhi, Shonali and Sid started bitching about Pooja Mishra, Amar and the others. She used to like Mahek in the beginning. I remember her saying “Mehak is a nice girl.” Pooja Bedi and Mehak were More >

The former Australian all-rounder is famous in India for spat with off-spinner Harbhajan Singh which is termed as the Monkeygate scandal. How does he intend to converse with the contestants, who are allowed to speak only in Hindi?
“I don’t know,” he laughs. Andrew and the viewers of BB5 are unaware that a surprise has been planned for him in the form of a translator. The surprise is non other than loud mouthed Pooja Mishra who has been ejected from the house for pushing co- contestant Siddharth and behaving violently.
“I am taking it as a challenge. It would be great to be in a show like this. To be honest, I have not seen any of the episodes of this season and will be meeting everyone for the first time. I didn’t want to enter with a biased opinion about others,” says Symonds.
