Power Rankings mean - how much influence they have on the show - how much they are favored by BB creatives, Salman and how much other contestants are scared of them.
13. Simba
He's not good at anything. He's not doing well in tasks. He has no great friendships in the house. He's not even coasting on body or looks. He does not have any meaningful relationships.
12. Akasa
She has saved herself from last place by forming relationships with 2 power players. She could rise more if she forms fake love angle with Pratik.
11. Umar
Even though completely single like Simba without any meaningful friendships, he has earned the respect of some housemates like Karan and Nishat due to his will to play. He is hungry and he needs this show to have a career in media and he's doing what he can.
10. Ieshaan
Purely surviving on love angle with Meisha. BB creatives will keep him because he is currently part of the primary love storyline. He needs a second gear - maybe show off body more or looks - or show smarts in tasks. Currently he's safe.
9. Meisha
She's superior to Ieshaan for sure. She is part of love angle, but you see a smarter girl in there. Between the two, she's definitely in the leading position.
8. Vishal
He has chosen a very smart tactic - alliance with a super powerful player like Shamita. BB will keep him around for long to keep Shamita happy. But his game has become very one-sided. He needs more friends soon because as powerful as Shamita is, he needs a backup if that relationship ever sours.
7. Afsana
Slowly and steadily she has risen in impact and now makes her presence felt. She does not have looks or body but she is shrewd, and has a big personality. She also has balls. She is the only one who has openly gone against Shamita. That took courage I applaud her for that.
6. Pratik
He's definitely on the backfoot. Ladke ko samakjh na padega BB OTT nahi hai yeh. He's absolutely physically outmatched and he might have been the alpha male angry young man of OTT but yahan pe usse kai zyaada diggaj log hai. He needs more friends otherwise he might find other HMs gang up on him soon.
5. Jay
The man has a personality. He's not always likable or reasonable but makes his presence felt. Despite taking a ridiculous stand, he actually ended up winning the HMs respect for his humiliation and destruction of Pratik. If he builds on that and maintains some key relationships, he can easily be Top 5. Needs to think better though.
4. Nishant
The mastermind of the house. Both the men and the women see him as non-threatening and he is able to get all of them to open to him and manipulate them. He played completely unfair as a judge in a task and yet duped HMs into thinking he was fair. He has definitely built other relationships besides Pratik that will help him.
3. Teja
She has slowly and smartly built a sphere of influence. She is seen as the dependable trustworthy person, kinda like male Karan - whom all HMs respect and admire. I am not yet convinced she can win it, but she can definitely place in Top 3 if she sticks to current trajectory.
2. Karan
He has something that money can't buy. The easy trust and admiration and respect of the entire house. Almost everybody loves him. BB creatives love him. Salman loves him. Audience loves him. Only question is - why is he not no. 1? That brings us to -
1. Shamita
Full disclosure - I don't like her. But have to admit she's the most powerful player so far. She's commanding and all the housemates are intimidated by her. Her sense of entitlement is breathtaking. She knows she is superior to everyone in the house and acts like it. She is the only one who dares call Salman by name. BB creatives love her. Maybe she has in her contract that she will win. Right now I would place money on her to finish Top 2. She's the only one who can challenge Karan for trophy right now.
