Amar's fault is that he lets issues or insults aimed at him go too easily in the name of looking at the bigger picture, which for him is desperation to win the game. Whether that is spineless or just
door-darshi behaviour would depend on who you'd ask and how they perceive the best way to play the game is...by being vocal and making self-respect or principles your slogan, or by being silent and doing everything to get to the finish line...he is not
hindustan dekh raha hai types, and neither is he
insaniyat, dharam, imaan ka promoter as we've seen.
When there's a problem that involves him...like Sky calling him names, he did not make much of a fuss out of it and he let the Shonali issue go so, so easily too compared to its magnitude...had it been a woman in place of him, she would have scorned up a storm. This habit that Amar has of 'overlooking' quickly doesn't make for good television by BB's book either and it's actually opposed to the kind of reactions they want to get out of these people. When others are in similar situations, they overreact so much (take Mishra's case as an example) and Amar underreacts, so of course he's going to be labelled as spineless among a bunch of people who have spines too stiff and 'vocal.' Which is all fair enough, because he is doing all of this for the game, to make sure that he can stay in the house for as long as possible.
So I'll say that Amar is spineless, yes...but he's making his choices in correlation with his priorities, which is to desperately win the money. Since this is a game just for that, it is an understandable game strategy...and while at it, he does not hit below the belt or get out of control, so it is not hurting anyone but himself either. In a season that feels more apt to be titled "Between the Devil and the Deep sea", he is one of the lesser devils in my opinion.
