Jasmin was strategically dumb to get Abhinav eliminated. Jaan was smart to do it!
Abhinav is eliminated, so Rubina will get the support of whatever supporters he had. There is no possibility of vote splitage btwn Rubinav fans. Rubina gets "sympathy" as stated by Aly. Worst of all Abhinav is giving interview after interview promoting Rubi and he is a lot more polished, calm, mature and positive then Jasmin. In Rahul lingo Jasmin just set Rubina's "wakeel"/advocate free....while she herself is in the BB house stamping insufficient gonis.
Eliminating Abhinav was a smart move by Jaan. Whether he realized the strategic significance of his actions or not is debatable. If Abhi was around then Nikki would have had to fight with Rakhi as to who would first buy their way into the finale.
