A good show will not become a bad show overnight. But the Bigg Boss team is trying hard to make it so. Kureshi, Thangadurai, Pugaz and Rakshan are trying to hold the flag up but very less support from others. Rakshan has disappeared in the presence of the new judges. He does his bit at the start and here and there. Pugaz is running on empty tank. Thangadurai still has some jokes to ticklet the funny bone. Kureshi is working hard. The less said about Sunitha and the new comalis the better. ( To be fair to the new comalis, with a better judge, they might have more empowerment to thrive and bloom. Sadly for them, they are thrown into a fish market. ) As for the cringes: 1. Is there anything more cringe than Ramar and Priyanka romance on TV 2. The day they decided to bring Ramar into this show, the show took a huge downward turn. 3. VTV is a huge cringe. 4. Bigg boss team has to show heart symbols and emojis when someone is doing cringe worthy flirting. Do you really need to attract more attention to that. Non-cringe downward spirals: 1. The focus of the show has shifted away from cooking. We don't see the cooks cooking. 2. The tasting and comments leaves a lot to be desired. There is no appreciating the good and giving feedback for improvement. 3. Chef Dhamu doesn't eat anything outside of CWC it seems. His appreciation would be of the lines of, I haven't eaten a salna like this for years and I will learn from you. Really? 4. Its amazing how the celebrities out of nowhere come and get superlative comments and no feedback for improvement or there is no looking forward for the audience to see how people went from one level to other. VTV, Priyanka, Irfan, Sujitha all are given reviews like they are 5 start hotels chefs. 5. I don't know what to call Zoya. Whether to feel sad for her or to say she is trying to keep attention on her in a not so good way. 6. When Madhampaty surrendered to chef Dhamu, he pretty much threw out any hope of show recovery. Too much shouting ( similar to bigg boss ) and the focus of the show has shifted to cooks, comalis, judges trying to shout, gain attention with saying something which seems funny to them for the sake of creating humor and it is not organic. No one to keep the crowd in control and there is unruliness. There can't be any fun if there is no order. My two cents.
Vijay sethupathi brought back lot of sanity in the show when he came as guest. Contestants were really feelings joyful when he appreciated their cooking to the right level for the right reason. Hoping the sanity will carry for at least couple of shows more from the energy vjs infused. Madhampaty is trying to form his own personality, still I doubt he can tame dhamu who is super ridiculous. But good luck to him. Show faces and uphill battle.
This show has gone back to its worse way. Its almost to the level of being toxic. I doubt anyone will come out with name or fame this season who did not previously earn it. Priyanka has a good name coming into the show but is a pale shadow of herself in this show. There is no interaction between the judges. Last week's show where Pooja was named the chef of the week, Madhampatty did not appreciate Pooja's dishes and gave her suggestions. Dhamu went to the opposite end and lauded her. When winner was announced by Dhamu, Madhampaty was in such uncomfortable position from his body language and facial expressions. None of the other contestants showed any happiness or seem convinced of the decision. Overall, the energy level is so low during the show and the judgement. Even when TCDC is showing the way, this team is trying to amp up but no content to ride on the previous successes.
I am not following the elimination process. Madhampatty is super waste! Mani is showing her true evil side in this show. Kureshi and Divya are the two worthy souls who deserve better and should be in TCDC and it would have elevated them to great heights. Priyanka, Thangadurai and Sharath not far behind and deserved better as well. I get a feeling that everyone is there in the show thinking why am I caught here and when can I break free ( much like how the bigg boss contestants think ). There is no energy flowing
What do you mean? Zoya should have been eliminated first itself. She is worst cook of all. Vasant vasi is better than her.
I don't see this show fully. Mostly see only intro of comalis for kureshi and thangadurai. This week didn't see Zoya so checked how she got eliminated last week. Clearly her comments were positive last week and yet she made it into elimination round. Other got much worser comments. Does that mean her cooking didn't matter on that day. To make matters worse she gets much lesser time to cook the liver as compared to others. Is this even a fair elimination round where she could save herself by cooking better. Why fake as though you are giving her a chance to save herself if she is not going to get equal grounds to compete. Zoya didn't have anything to say about the judges. Kureshi is the only one whom she thanked and she was happy to finally be rid of this show. Dhamu is so self centered, he only wants appreciation for him and the show from the eliminated contestants instead of telling anything good about them. Priyanka had to step up and tell and then others joined. Priyanka sees this show absolutely mishandled and at times takes on the anchor persona and makes the people feel good. Everyone going crazy with the show and it starts from the judges who cannot set the rules or the boundaries. No body cares for anyone in this show. Zoya might be a bad cook, but the way they handled her is very poor. She was bad mouthing the judges for a while and it was evident Dhamu came with a vengeance when he spoke to her on the different interactions. She should have been eliminated when she actually did bad. Instead she was given fake appreciation at that time.
