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. Umar (Last week - #11)
The single most humiliated contestant in the house. Shamita ne WKV mein usse nanga kar diya aur gale mein kutte a patta pehna diya. Salman humiliated him twice and constantly bashed him any time he uttered a word against Shamita. At this point Salman hates but most importantly Shamita hates him. And what Shamita wants, Shamita gets. He is toast.
12. Rajiv (New entry)
Has an immensely powerful ally in Shamita. And is definitely more important than Umar since he is part of a hot storyline between Meisha and Ieshaan.
11. Simba (Last week - #13)
Made moves this week. Has a powerful ally in Pratik. So he can be Praik/Nishant's henchman going forward. And also made overtures to Shamita. So if he aligns himself to that group, could be on the rise.
9, 10. Meisha-Ieshaan (Last week - #9-10)
Coasting on love angle so far. Both made moves to align themselves with Shamita so that might lift them up. If Ieshaan is able to patch up with Rajiv, might further strengthen his bond with Shamita which can only mean good things.
8. Afsana (Last week - #7)
Very safe for now. Making sure not be in the bad books of Shamita. Everybody likes her. Not controversial. Coasting for now.
7. Vishal (Last week - #8)
Again rises to be a power player. Shamita has readmitted the dog into the house. Is back in her good books. Which means he is again in a powerful position. Manipulation skills are still intact. Despite being most hated, got votes to be Captain of the house. Rivalry with Jay also gives him another angle to develop. Suddenly in a much better position than he was last week.
6. Teja (Last week - #3)
Fallen from grace. Salman screamed at her twice and seeing her weak, Simba, Ieshaan and Mesiha immediately backstabbed and picked Shamita over her. She's very much on the back foot. Pratik is a powerful enemy too. And she doesn't seem to have many strong backers. She will have to tread carefully or could be in trouble.
5. Jay (Last week - #5)
Of the new HMs, he's definitely doing well. Calm and steady. Nobody really hates him. Plays nice with Shamita too. Top 5 contender.
4. Karan (Last week - #2)
Brutalized and bloodied after violent attacks from Nishant and Pratik which he couldn't really return. He's kinda becoming lonely and is definitely on the backfoot. Needs to pick his priorities, pick his team and play strongly. He's definitely shit scared of Shamita. So that will always remain a liability for him. If he ever wants to win, will have to have the balls to go against Shamita. He currently clearly lacks that.
3. Nishant (Last week - #4)
The scheming Shakuni who has steadily played his game and risen through the ranks. Plays good cop to Pratik's bad cop and wins the day. Got several public hits onto Karan and has a side track with Jay (and maybe even with Teja). Currently playing nice with Shamita too. In a powerful position now.
2. Pratik (Last week - #6)
Meteoric rise. Single-handedly destroyed captaincy task and actually won praise for it from Salman. He's the bluntest in the house and fearless to go against Karan, Jay and Teja - the biggest Non-OTT names. Playing nice with Shamita too. Manipulated HMs to give him votes despite humiliating them. He's definitely a contender to win it all.
1. Shamita (Last week - #1)
The reigning empress of the house. She is so far ahead of the other housemates that it's not even a joke. Even Karan is scared of her. Uski bhi chaddi nikal di Shamita ne. Salman and BB creatives are all in for her. Anyone even daring to say a word against Shamita will be instantly nuked and destroyed forever. For now, she's absolutely untouchable. Guaranteed at least Top 2. The only question mark is does the voting public love her. That's it. She is the most monumentally pushed contestant in BB history. She has one hand on the trophy already.
