Social media platforms are now overflowing with criticism, as users claim the show has turned into a scripted drama rather than an authentic reality competition. Many believe the makers are manipulating results deciding who gets eliminated, who stays, and who makes it to the finals irrespective of public opinion. Viewers also highlight that some contestants repeatedly escape eviction through immunity twists, storyline protection, or sudden format changes, while others are removed abruptly under the banner of “surprise evictions” or “live voting.”
This latest removal has further fueled the belief that audience votes are being used merely to boost engagement and TRPs, while real decisions happen behind the scenes. Fans argue that this pattern has persisted for several seasons, and Bigg Boss 19 has only made it more obvious.
Phrases like “Not a reality show anymore,” “Script already written,” and “Makers choosing their winner” are trending widely across X and Instagram, with the exits of Baseer Ali, Abhishek Bajaj, and Mridul Tiwari becoming the prime examples of the alleged manipulation.
