I have often wondered what made Yudi come to that conclusion about Draupadi's feelings . Could it have been a figment of his imagination or guilt feeling ? For all we know Draupadi was quite impartial in her behaviour to all 5 husbands. I dont recall any incidence that would indicate otherwise.

Well as per the epic yudhistir is a very righteous soul,a dharamatma so may be he had more insights into the charatestics of his family.In any case at the end of the book through yudhistir the epic gives us reasons why pandavas and draupadi are in hell.For bheem its glutonny,arjun his envious nature,Nakul becuase he was very proud of his looks,sahdev becuase of his smugness due to his knowledge and draupadi for her biased love.Now whether we want to believe these reasons or not is upto but draupadi loving Arjun more than the others seems logical to me

But yes you are right in the epic we dont have any such incident in which Draupadi shows her biasness so its a highly debatable topic

But even if she loved Arjun more i dont see anything wrong in that.She is a human afterall she cant love everyone equally.I think she loved all pandavs but had a soft corner for Arjun since he is the one who won her.Dont really blame her for that

To think of it, what a biased & chauvinistic world it was! When a man could have so many wives & love only one of them dearly, he didn't go to hell for that, then why a woman should? Arjun himself I believe went to hell for being over confident & too proud, not for unequal love to his wives. On top of all that, Draupadi was forced to have five husbands, but she wanted to marry only one, Arjun.

Bhima is my favorate Pandava, not Arjun, not Karna.

I also think he was the greatest warrior. Arjun had Krishna & Hanuman on his chariot, but Bhima did things himself. And he was always in the thick of battle, treating everybody on the enemy side as enemies. For him, everybody who fought for him was worth protecting, while everybody on the opposite side - even dear ones like Shalya or Drona - were worth destroying.
