No one is winner quality except Ram Kapoor- hear me out

Normally, I never comment on reality show subs or take sides because I know how polarized the internet gets and don't want to engage in meaningless debates over a SHOW. BUT. Seeing all the blind support for Shreya/hate for Shivangi/no mention of Shilpa at all bothers me a bit, and I need to speak my mind now.

No one deserves the trophy except Ram Kapoor. Reasons below:

1. Shilpa Shinde - I agree that her mood swings were highly entertaining because they kept the audience on edge. But this isn't Bigg Boss. You can't fight your way into winning a trophy. This show was about redemption. That woman not only OPENLY slut shamed a much younger woman, she never once apologized for it. Until the last day, she kept hating on Shivangi - which is nothing but stubbornness because even Shreya can apologize if needed. You can have your differences with someone and still apologize for crossing the line. Tanya Mittal also apologized to Ashnoor for the body-shaming comment. Not to mention - calling Ram Kapoor "Mota", "Buddha", and name calling for other housemates too, hating on all the women but forgiving the men for anything they do, blindly siding with Harshad or Varun regardless of whatever they did but never forgiving Chamola or Shivangi, this SCREAMS sexism and internalized misogyny. I have the greatest sympathies for her because of her family, but she has a lot of learning and self-reflection to do before she becomes "winner quality".

2. Shreya Kalra undoubtedly is the loudest person in the room. But again - where's the redemption? Shreya never once made an effort to have a normal conversation with anyone apart from Shilpa. They only bonded because they were the most hated contestants - the enemy of an enemy is a friend. She has lied countless times about saying things (lied to chamola about saying Gaurav is better off without her, lied to Shilpa about saying she would want to remove her from the show, lied to EVERYONE once she was exposed). I was never a Farhana fan, but at least Farhana never lied. Shreya would be winner material on a show like BB, but LockUpp was about more than that.

3. Yogesh - A strong contender who could have won had he been more active in the house overall.

4. Shivangi - As a former Shivangi fan, I can be honest - I like her, but she is not winner material. I love that she never caused drama, or went below the belt unprovoked, and is a strong performer in tasks. But she largely stayed out of all controversies and only spoke up if something came up that affected her personally. She was not entertaining - she was just a sane person in a sea of loudmouths. Sorry, but that's not enough to make someone a winner. I will not comment on the Harshad scenario because it is high-key sexist to blame a women if someone loves her - why should she take responsibility if Harshad wants to give everything up? Go and tell Harshad to grow a spine.

5. Ram Kapoor - The only man who kept us entertained until the end without playing dirty. He openly accepted his manipulation (a far better thing to do than go around yelling at everyone). He nicely kept people in the house wrapped around his finger and made sure it was for the game. He apologized for making Pam uncomfortable. He was one of the biggest reasons why the game progressed the way it did. I hope he lifts the trophy.
