Who voted for KVM?

Today was proof that there is an audience to this show who watches it, then goes on with their lives and don't engage in fan wars, youtube polling, voting on every little online question.

These people have lives, they just watch the 1 hr of the show and move on. Their first instinct isn't to go to twitter or insta and vote or join the live streams of such people as elvish and rajat or fanboy over vivian from 10 years ago.

These are normal neutral people who just log in to watch the drama unfold and want to find new faces to relate to, to bond with, to love and to hate, and then after 1.5 hrs just switch off and move on.

But when it came to the finale, they voted, they votes to thank the value they got for their time over the last 3 months.

I still don't know how jiocinema voting works, how they count multiple from same phone but i swear to god, this audience after many years of not having to keep up with the pop culture lore has seen a winner.

A winner whose subsequent insta lives or online accounts might not get as much traction as this audience is not filled with insta savy or twitter warriors. But they'll remember and try to tune in for the next project.

This is the audience Elvish is trying to build by being on roadies and laughter chefs. He actually made waves among this audience when he won, there was actual on ground buzz as the top 2 were worthy.

This year, vivian and rajat actually gave themselves no chance. Rajat was done dirty by the makers at the end as they made him worse than a side charecter. And vivian is just not the person for this show, he is just not.

And then there is karan, you may not be the gen z follower count maximised pop culture phenomenon, maybe u'll never be, but ur khatro title and bigg boss title and all the TV and film work u'll get beyond this will be our thank you. For making us laugh, for making us cry, for taking all that abuse on the chin and yet every morning get up and dance like there is hope even when yesterday salman might have unfairly bashed u and made fun of u on national tv.

We thank you KVM, even your haters know, u woke up, u showed up each day, truly, this is ur bigg boss house and you are the karan veer mehra of bigg boss season 18. God bless the PR people, the fandoms, the hate mongers, you'll have a new champion very soon next year, another one of such fan idol will come and sleep walk for three months and u'll justify everything for him or her.

But this year, there was an audience away from your insta, twitter buzz who wanted to give karan his due credit.

Good night.
