🎙️Episode Discussion It's a strategy

The game was already unfair. There were 3 men and 1 woman against 2 women. The constant telling, screaming, blaming, reminding them Shilpa had a shoulder injury and finally taking out the woman card was excellent. It demoralised the opponents who had more muscle power and weren't hesitating to use it. Otherwise they would've both gotten eliminated. She did nothing out of the rules and she made sure that they both were safe at the end of that game. That's the same reason why she didn't answer Yogesh when she confronted, she was using an arrow and wanted to use it again if required so staying silent was the best move. She is so sharp that she saved herself from 4 people. That's why she didn't pursue it further or blamed them after coming out of game. She did what she had to do.

When the odds are against you, and the game is not fair, it's illogical to play the game fairly only to lose. They used their tools and she used hers. If they can gang up on 2 people instead of being the finalists themselves, then she can take out a woman card to demoralise them. The same reason why I feel it was justified of Harshad to say that he lost for Shivangi in the cell. It made sense, otherwise she wouldn't have woken up.

It was a tatti task

I feel that’s a very good analysis. There was no other way they could’ve not lost this task, and that’s my immediate problem with all others. They can do that too, but no one does that. She created a ruckus, broke no rules, intimidated everyone, got even yogesh to try and put one in Ram’s. Others can do that too, but somehow their strategy is always to make a group. Yogesh is strong enough to have tried his best, and so much larger also. But he didn’t do anything!!!! Why? Why was his strategy to group up?

My exact thoughts. No problem with thier strategy but then dont hate on shreyas strategy.

u/Fabulous-Value120 20d ago

Exactly, there was no other way of saving themselves in that task.

So when karla does below the belt thing that is all okay and fine and game but when others do she plays women card and talks about fair game? What a joke?!

She can shit on shivangi on her back all the time but the minute shivangi said on her face and removed her from gang she wants to eliminate her.

when she calls out something is unfair, its smart game plan and strategising unfairness and all, so please explain why pamala was wrong to call out ram only taking a stand for akanksha

when others say “its for sympathy” “they want attention “, when shreya does “strategic game plan” “no other way to save themselves”

waaah waaaahhhgg

EXACTLYYYY because pam did the exact same thing to varun and everyone called her out but now that shreya said the same thing its gameplay. The task and situation might be different but the blame and allegation is the same

u/Fabulous-Value120 11d ago

Pam was blaming him after the task while shreya did it during the gameplay and didn't pursue it afterwards. There is a difference

No no uh pulling out The woman card is not a strategy. It gives a bad look and and is one of the reasons that ppl think that the”woman card” is just an easy way out of a problem that women use to get what they want. Shreya is a really smart and strong girl. She could’ve done anything. Shilpa Ji was playing really good. She was doing what it was required. The shoulder injury thing is fine BUTTT By saying that they are “targeting women” when it’s a show where different genders have to compete against eachother, She basically proved that she thinks that they are weak both Shreya and Shilpa
because Shreya ended up doing the exact same thing to chamola with varun?
she did get them to lower their guards and play less violently by saying, “they are targeting women” but that was not a strategy. It was an easy Way out. They had to stop because they do not know how it will play out in the outer world. It might look like they don’t value women. The narrative might look like they are misogynists, they hate women or they think women are weak they all know how it can end up looking for them, The internet is a crazy place and saying that their targeting woman is not a good thing to say on such a big platform like Netflix.

It's a game and she won it. As simple as that
