If fixed nominations had a face… The very first person sent to open the box sets the whole tone. And yes, after choosing the box number, were pictures being swapped behind the scenes… who knows? The audience wants answers. Unfortunately, this show has lost its magic. Subhraatri.
Her tweet quickly grabbed attention, with many fans sharing the same doubts about whether the nomination process is truly fair.

In the most recent episode, Bigg Boss introduced a fresh nomination challenge where contestants had to enter the activity zone individually, open a locker, and decide whether to nominate or save a housemate whose photo was inside. The twist, as revealed by Bigg Boss, was that the task would proceed like a chain, ending only after four participants were officially nominated.
Here’s how it unfolded:
-
Gaurav started the chain by nominating Nehal.
-
Nehal, clearly upset, grabbed Amaal’s key and chose to save him.
-
Amaal then received Shehbaaz’s key and decided to save him too.
-
Shehbaaz broke the streak by picking Pranit’s key and nominating him.
-
Pranit took Abhishek’s key and opted to save him.
-
Abhishek then chose Baseer Ali’s key and nominated him.
-
Finally, Baseer got Gaurav’s key and nominated him, completing the cycle and sealing the four nominations.
Consequently, Pranit More, Gaurav Khanna, Nehal Chudasama, and Baseer Ali faced eviction this week.
Though the task appeared straightforward, many viewers and now Hina Khan suspect the results may have been fixed. Hina’s observation that the pictures might have been swapped behind the scenes after the contestants picked their lockers sparked rumors that the production could have influenced the outcome to boost drama or TRP.
Fans also pointed out that beginning the task with Gaurav might have been a strategic choice affecting who got nominated. There are growing demands for Bigg Boss to release the full, unedited footage for transparency.
The audience is split: some agree with Hina, feeling the nomination pattern seems too “convenient,” while others argue that unpredictability and some level of manipulation are inherent to Bigg Boss tasks.
From a narrative standpoint, the nomination chain was definitely designed to generate high tension and drama in the house. However, questions about fairness linger. The fact that Hina Khan renowned for her sense of fair play has raised doubts gives the controversy added credibility.
Whether the results were planned or merely coincidental, one thing is certain: this nomination challenge has reopened the longstanding debate about Bigg Boss is it genuine reality or a game of strategy and entertainment?
