I want Akbar to win this season

Akbar seems to be a polarising figure outside. On surface level he seems to have anger issues and can be brash at times. But I also find him to be strategic. Sort of like he is able to balance logic and emotions in such a stressful set up.

He is the only contestant who is consistent in his values and beliefs, which shows integrity and tells me that he is being his authentic self, as much as he can. And his values are inclusive and not imposing. He doesn’t play safe.

There are other promising candidates like Aneesh - who keeps a hard exterior and opens his mouth only when he feels it’s safe to open, a safe gamer;

Nevin - who is an entertainer but when it comes to games doesn’t really take a stand;

Gisele - who has become too passive in recent times and doesn’t really take any stands.

Shanavas - just like Aneesh but extroverted.

For me, Akbar’s values and game strategies align perfectly.
