Bigg Boss 10: Why Manu Punjabi quitting the show for Rs 10 lakhs is a smart move!

Bigg Boss 10 has reached the last leg of its tenth season with the grand finale being aired tonight. The show is currently being shot in Lonavla and in a matter of a few hours, we all will finally know who has won Bigg Boss 10.

As of now, we have our top 3 vying for the trophy. Manveer Gurjar, VJ Bani and Lopamudra Raut. Manu Punjabi, who was also in the running quit and walked out of the show with Rs 10 lakhs cash prize. 

Bigg Boss had given the finalists a chance to quit the game and offered them a sum of Rs 10 lakhs which they would get if they decided to leave the show and trophy and walk out. Manu took the bait and we think it's a smart move. 

Why? Honestly, Manu had no chances of winning the show. Neither is he running high on any online audience polls nor has he been that popular outside. Even in the poll we conducted, Manu has come last with only 6% of the votes which is next to nothing. Plus, the top contenders list to the trophy definitely doesn't mention him.

It will be a close fight between Bani and Manveer and one of them will walk away as the winner of the show. So by taking the Rs 10 lakhs cash prize, Manu has done a calculative but smart thing. He knew his chances of winning is next to zero and hence by getting the Rs 10 lakh cash prize, he has walked out almost as a runner up. Why? Because now, even if you come second, you don't get any money. It's only the winner who walks away with Rs 40 lakhs and Manu chose to do that.
