And the winner of Bigg Boss 9 is...
With less than two weeks before the nineth edition of Bigg Boss, one of TV's most loved and hated shows, wraps up, the anticipation in the air is palpable.
For over three months we've seen the contestants everyday on national television as they went around fighting, screaming, crying, gossiping, etc, somehow giving us enough voyeuristic pleasure to stay glued to our TV screens. And now it's time for this journey to end as we, the ones who vote every week, get to decide who comes out as the winner.
To be fair, this season of Bigg Boss has been rather lacklustre compared to the past. Yes, things have picked up ever since Priya Malik entered the show but the contestants in general have been way less controversial to entice eyeballs.
The TRPs no wonder were rather low and the show's makers tried their level best to up the game as best as they could. Anyway, that's all in the past now as the show is gearing up for the grand finale and boring or not, one of these contestants will win the show.
Speaking of winning, here's our take on who we feel has the maximum chances of winning and who doesn't even stand a chance. Just like the viewers, we're also curious to know if our guess falls true.
1. Prince Narula
 |
Reality show veteran and lover boy of the season, Prince is adept at showing both his physical strength as well as romantic vulnerability. When he's not fighting it out in the tasks, he's busy either finding himself a sister or a girlfriend. Sadly for him, the women have used his weakness more often than not. He, however, continues to remain a favourite with the audience and we're too placing our bets on him.
Chances of winning: 9/10
2. Priya Malik
 |
The wild card who managed to shake things up majorly, Priya has been one of the loudest, most controversial contestants in the show. From urinating in a car to grabbing contestants by the collar, she's done it all. And she's taken it upon herself to be both the voice of reason and curious neighbourhood aunty at the same time. Her chances of winning look slim, majorly because she hasn't been around since the beginning to gather enough fans in the audience.
Chances of winning: 5/10
3. Mandana Karimi
 |
Certainly the most hated contestant in the house, Mandana is ironically one of the most popular contestants outside the house. This leggy beauty may cry at the drop of a hat, fall sick and magically recover at her convenience and show more mood swings than anyone else, there's no denying that Mandana has played the game rather well this season. And we feel she's got a good chance of coming out as the cat who got the cream.
Chances of winning: 9/10
4. Rishabh Sinha
 |
The problem with the second reality show veteran in the house is that he thinks way too highly of himself. His overconfidence is what works against him; he's got more steam than substance. Not a favourite inside the house, being a wild card he too hasn't got enough time to gain his fan following. And that might work against him - never before has any wild card entry ever won the show.
Chances of winning: 6/10
5. Keith Sequeira
 |
The good boy, ideal boyfriend and sanest person all clubbed into one, Keith gets the maximum "aww" moments in the show. His sudden exit and grand comeback were also memorable. But somehow he's been way too dormant to create an impact. He's certainly deserving of winning but he isn't controversial enough to get the votes. But will he come out as the surprise winner? We hope so!
Chances of winning: 8/10
6. Rochelle Rao
 |
Just like she's been desperately waiting to become the captain of the house, it seems likely that Rochelle will end up waiting but never actually win the show too. Her constant shifts of loyalty, on-off issues with Keith and crying and whining aren't exactly remarkable. She might reach the finals but we doubt if she's winning it.
Chances of winning: 6/10
