Here's why: If BB gave the girls the power to nominate, including Mehak's captain nomination, the three people up for eviction would have been Sky, Sunny and Sid.
Why wouldn't BB want that? Because anyone of them going is not beneficial for the TRPs or the 'game'...if Sky goes, they lose the person who is creating the drama in the house...if Sunny goes, well, she can't go, because they must have paid her a hefty amount and haven't yet taken its due...plus, they lose her and they'll lose the audience which tuned in just to see her. And though it would be okay for Sid to go, I'm guessing they wouldn't like that because it would decrease the male to female ratio 2:5. They'd rather make it more or less even by throwing out a girl this week (toss up between Shonali or Shraddha) to make the numbers more equal, i.e. 3:4.
So, BB gave the boys this power because obviously they wouldn't name themselves and they named who BB wanted...the girls...at least one of them, Shraddha...
It's a clear way for the production to manipulate nominations and not at all interesting either since Sky/Sid already got a chance to do this before. Would have been better if they'd stuck to the normal format of two names per person and taken the names up for eviction from there.
