This is without any regard to the strength of fandoms/polling (prev/new etc). Won't waste time on ranking Simba/Jay who have no game and Pratik who should have been evicted on grounds of harassment due to the zero-tolerance policy on this issue. I decided I won't give specific ranks as no one stands out enough for me to differentiate themselves that much in these three groupings for me.
Bottom Two - Shamita and Neha
Hard to choose who is lower on any given day
Shamita - Privileged, entitled and totally delusional about herself. Her relationships and POVs are all about me and myself. The worst part is how this shows up with her own - be it Rajiv / Bapat
Neha - Extremely manipulative that believes she is sorted. Vile/toxic whose game is pre-decided before coming but really the only purpose of coming to show is her love for Pratik where also she does not know if she is coming or going
Middle of the pack - Rajiv/Nishant/Vishal
Rajiv - Has a good heart and is entertaining. Yes, he does not understand the game fully and that's ok. I think there is room in the show for someone more genuine than others and does not carry grudges day today. I don't see him top 3 simply because of this
Nishant - Good gamer, made good equations in the show again and obviously landed in VIP room.don't see him overcoming the top 3 but good effort and game
Vishal - Game repeatedly exposed. put down by BB but still made it to VIP room. He works hard despite all the downs with wildcard entries/nominations and also wkv... Hence appreciating his effort here... I don't see him top 3 by far but definitely one of the 3 that can be top 5.
Top 3
Karan - He has played masterfully despite his two weaknesses (culling his own herd) and also Teja ka interaction tends to interfere and hurt more than help his game. However, he has definitely made some very smart moves. to be where he is.
Teja - She does play smartly and also has her dumbo moments along with OTT moments (over the top)... She is benefiting a lot from teaming with Karan.
Umar - He has grown and growing as a player -- excellent journey. His ability to give it back to HMs but also more importantly put his points across to Sallu on wkv (particularly this one) has shown tremendous growth. It's hard to point any negatives for a player that is actually growing as an HM. If he continues this momentum this may v well turn out to be a battle of 2 at the top 2 with him being one of them. He will need to control his aggression for sure and also diction.
