Wildcard contestants Digvijay Rathee and Kashish Kapoor were nominated for eviction along with five other contestants in the latest episode of Salman Khan-hosted reality show Bigg Boss 18 amidst high-voltage drama.
Bigg Boss turned ‘Time God’ Vivian Dsena into the house’s postman for the task, fielding calls from contestants who used the telephone to nominate their fellow housemates. However, in a surprising twist, Vivian held the power to accept or reject nominations.
The task was far from smooth, with contestants clashing over their choices. In the first round, Shilpa Shirodkar chose Tajinder Bagga and Shrutika Arjun, while Alice Kaushik nominated Rajat Dalal and Tajinder. Kashish followed suit, picking Bagga and Shrutika. Karan Veer Mehra, who nominated Bagga and Alice, had his choices thwarted as Vivian exercised his authority to reject it.
The second round saw new alliances and rivalries come to the forefront. Chaahat Pandey targeted Chum Darang and Alice, while Eisha Varma nominated Sara Arfeen Khan and Rajat Dalal. Rajat responded by nominating Alice and Avinash Mishra but was left fuming when Vivian turned down his picks. Tajinder Bagga, meanwhile, nominated Karan and Kashish.
In the final round, Digvijay nominated Avinash and Alice, while Sara Arfeen Khan went after Tajinder and Avinash. Chum retaliated by nominating Digvijay and Chaahat, and Shrutika picked Kashish and Shilpa. Avinash chose Chum and Karan. In another surprise move, Vivian rejected Digvijay's nominations.
By the end of the task, the contestants up for eviction this week included Chum, Tajinder, Shrutika, Digvijay, Rajat, Kashish and Karan.
The upcoming episode promises an explosive confrontation between Rajat and Vivian. In a promo dropped by the makers on social media, Rajat confronts Vivian over sleeping during daytime. The exchange quickly escalated with Rajat taunting Vivian about his attitude and charging towards the latter.
