Firstly popularity & votes has nothing to do with winner! Its almost scripted & BB will play games to make sure people the show prefers goes to finale.
If you watched all 12 previous seasons you know very well that two contracting people can be finalist/ So two friends being in final two is IMPOSSIBLE.
So Devo-Rashami or Paras-Mahira or Sid-Asim is OUT OF QUESTION!
The top 5 of the show gets a contract which states that from all of their future work commitment after BB; the channel will get 15% share. That means people with promising career or budding career are financially viable choices for the channel. And if the contestant is contract bound already with channel or production house its easy money!
So Rashami/Paras/Mahira winning means in house tax savings. Asim/Vishal/Sana/Himanshi can do well in Hindi market after the show. Devo is star plus talent; Sid Shukla is too old for movies; Keshari/Shefali/Aarti not much hope!
So combining both points my pick / channels pick can be : Paras - Asim. They are not friends they fight a lot; they can get money to the channel with their future work commitments.
And I feel out of these two more chances of Asim are there. So BB will play internal games in future & evict Rashami-Devo-Shukla etc to make this happen!
