When The 50 was announced, early expectations positioned the reality series as a format that would be very interesting and capable of changing the face of Indian reality shows. By the time Episode 5 aired, however, the reception appeared noticeably different. Based on the episode’s broadcast content and publicly visible audience reactions online, the show did not hold the level of interest that had been anticipated. Many viewers said the show was not interesting, suggesting a clear gap between early expectations and current engagement. This reaction has contributed to growing discussions around whether The 50 is struggling to connect with its audience at this stage of the season.

The episode also included moments that added to this perception. During the broadcast, contestants Monalisa and Neelam were seen talking among themselves about the overall atmosphere inside the house. In that conversation, they indicated that fellow contestant Sapna Choudhary herself seemed uninterested in the show and wanted to leave.

Audience Response and the Question: Is The 50 a Flop?

Beyond the episode itself, online reactions have reflected a similar tone. Public comments and posts visible on the internet indicated that people seemed uninterested in the show, particularly after Episode 5. While these reactions represent only a segment of viewers, they align with what was seen on screen, where contestants themselves appeared disengaged. The combination of audience disinterest and on-air conversations among participants has led many to openly ask a simple but significant question: is the show a flop? However this week’s TRP report has not been released thus we cannot label the show anything.
