by The ongoing season of Bigg Boss 18 has already made headlines for its high-octane drama, intense rivalries, and unpredictable twists. However, just when it seemed the show couldn’t get any more dramatic, a shocking turn of events left fans reeling with disbelief. Digvijay Singh Rathee, a wild card contestant who entered the house during the Diwali week, was unexpectedly evicted in a mid-week elimination. This sudden exit has sent ripples across the Bigg Boss fanbase, particularly among those who had rallied behind Digvijay since his entry.
Digvijay Singh Rathee’s Journey on Bigg Boss 18
Digvijay entered the Bigg Boss house as a wild card contestant, adding a fresh dynamic to the already star-studded roster. From the moment he set foot in the house, he became a topic of conversation among both fellow contestants and viewers. Known for his bold personality and no-nonsense attitude, Digvijay quickly earned a reputation for being outspoken and unapologetically straightforward. His fans appreciated his candidness and the way he didn’t shy away from calling out what he saw as unfair behavior within the house. His sharp comments and unfiltered opinions garnered attention, making him one of the more talked-about contestants of the season.
Although his brashness led to a few clashes with other housemates, Digvijay’s resilience and ability to stand his ground in heated arguments made him a fan favorite. His presence in the house added a layer of excitement that viewers of the show have come to expect.
The Shocking Mid-Week Eviction
Just when the momentum was building around Digvijay’s strong persona, a shocking mid-week eviction took place. According to reports, the eviction came as a result of the rankings assigned by Shrutika Arjun, who currently holds the title of Time God within the Bigg Boss house. The Time God role involves a significant responsibility — ranking contestants based on their contribution to the show, which can, in turn, determine the contestants’ safety in the house.
In a dramatic turn of events, Shrutika ranked Digvijay among the bottom six contestants, thereby making him vulnerable to elimination. As a result, Digvijay’s name was brought up during the elimination process, and the decision was made to evict him from the show. This move caught not only Digvijay off guard but also left his fans in a state of shock.
The Fans’ Outrage
Following the news of Digvijay’s eviction, a wave of disappointment and outrage swept across social media. Fans of the reality TV star voiced their frustrations, with many questioning the fairness of the decision. A post shared by Bigg Boss Tak on X (formerly known as Twitter) sparked a heated debate, racking up over 1.2 million views. Numerous fans expressed their discontent, calling out the makers for what they believed was a biased decision to eliminate Digvijay.
One fan, deeply upset by the elimination, wrote, “Lol, so much conspiracy inside Bigg Boss house. I am not expecting him to be out at this time because there are a lot more useless contestants in the house who are not doing anything. It’s really sad.” This sentiment resonated with many, as viewers felt that other contestants, who were not as active or engaging, deserved to be eliminated before Digvijay.
Another fan expressed their frustration, saying, “Now I am sure by hook or crook they will make Laadla the winner, Even if he sleeps in the last 4 weeks in the show.” The term “Laadla,” which means favorite, has been used by fans to describe Vivian Dsena, a fellow contestant on the show. Many believed that the makers were showing favoritism towards Vivian, accusing them of manipulating the outcome of the season. This accusation of bias has only fueled the controversy surrounding Digvijay’s elimination.
A third fan penned, “This is really shocking that makers did all the plotting and evicted Digvijay. He was bashed and interrupted for no reason throughout the season. If makers don’t want to have strong wildcards, why do they even bother to keep the concept of wildcards? Agar kisiko tod kar hi nikalna hai.” (Translation: If they are just going to break someone down and evict them, why even bother with the wildcard concept?)
Accusations of Bias and Unfair Treatment
The backlash against the eviction has largely focused on what fans believe is the unfair treatment of Digvijay. Throughout the season, viewers noticed that Digvijay was often at the center of controversies, sometimes for reasons beyond his control. He was frequently interrupted during discussions, and at times, his statements or actions seemed to provoke hostility from other housemates. His outspoken nature, while celebrated by many, also made him a target within the house.
Many fans argue that the eviction was not just about Digvijay’s contributions to the show but rather a result of the “politics” of the house. In reality TV shows like Bigg Boss, alliances and group dynamics play a significant role in determining who stays and who goes. Fans suspect that Digvijay’s bluntness and unwillingness to conform to the group’s expectations made him a threat to others, leading to his downfall.
The Role of Shrutika Arjun and Time God Rankings
Shrutika Arjun’s decision to rank Digvijay in the bottom six has become a focal point in the debate surrounding his eviction. As the Time God, Shrutika had significant influence over the rankings, and her choices were pivotal in determining the fate of several contestants, including Digvijay. Many fans feel that her decision was heavily biased, especially given the nature of the rankings process, which can be subjective.
One of the core criticisms of this elimination is that Shrutika’s rankings were based on her personal opinions and alliances rather than objective measures of each contestant’s performance on the show. Fans have raised questions about the fairness of such a system, as it leaves contestants vulnerable to the whims of those holding power within the house.
The Hypocrisy of Bigg Boss?
In the aftermath of Digvijay’s eviction, several fans have accused the Bigg Boss makers of hypocrisy. One fan commented, “If this is not called the hypocrisy of Bigg Boss, then what else can we call it? Digvijay was annoying Bigg Boss, and they went to throw him out. I don’t want to see Shrutika in the show anymore.” This comment, while extreme, encapsulates the frustration of many viewers who believe that the eviction was unfairly orchestrated.
The irony here is that Bigg Boss has always prided itself on providing a platform for contestants to showcase their personalities and talents. The idea that a contestant like Digvijay, who was not only outspoken but also a source of much-needed drama and engagement, could be eliminated so suddenly, left many questioning the integrity of the show.
The Fate of Wild Card Contestants
Digvijay’s eviction also raises larger questions about the treatment of wildcard contestants in Bigg Boss. Wildcard entries are typically introduced to shake things up and add a new layer of excitement to the game. However, many fans have noticed a troubling pattern over the years — wildcard contestants often face an uphill battle, struggling to establish themselves within the house and facing unfair treatment from both fellow contestants and the show’s producers.
If Bigg Boss consistently eliminates wildcard contestants early, many argue, the show risks undermining its own concept of diversity and fresh energy. Digvijay, despite his occasional clashes, brought much-needed spice to the show and demonstrated a level of resilience that resonated with fans. His eviction, therefore, has sparked a wider conversation about the fairness of wildcard entries in Bigg Boss and whether these contestants are given a fair shot to succeed.
Conclusion: A Controversial Turn of Events
The shocking mid-week eviction of Digvijay Singh Rathee has undoubtedly left fans of Bigg Boss 18 in a state of disbelief. While some believe that the eviction was part of the natural progression of the game, others view it as a deeply unfair decision influenced by internal politics and bias. As the season continues to unfold, it is clear that this controversy will remain at the forefront of discussions among fans, with many questioning the integrity of the show’s elimination process.
With Digvijay’s exit, Bigg Boss 18 has once again proven that anything can happen in the house. Whether this event was a mere blip in the season or a harbinger of bigger controversies to come remains to be seen. However, one thing is certain: Digvijay’s time on the show, and his shocking eviction, will be remembered for a long time by his fans and viewers alike.
