I don't think it's a trap. It's clear from the starting makers want their high paid contestants like Shamita and Raquesh to shine. Shamita was given the first choice to choose amongst guys. Karan also hinted to her ( which he pretended to be by mistake) that Raquesh has OCD with cleanliness. Makers wanted Raquesh and Shamita to be a pair and shine in the house. But the whole week turned out to be about Divya and Prateek. So, Karan exposed their planned fight, so that they don't get to shine over their favourites. Shamita and Raquesh both somehow got overshadowed by loud Divya. Although, with Shamita and Divya's weak friendship, Karan got an opportunity and turned Shamita against Divya. Also, he managed to hint Raquesh that Shamita is going right so he better stick to Shamita instead of dodging between Shamita and Divya. Divya is the most hated contestant but popular. What can be better than turning Shamita against Divya and Shamita gaining fans standing against Divya. If Raquesh also turns against, it will be cherry on cake for makers. Haha. That's my take on this whole scenario. Well , I am just a neutral viewer this season.
