In recent episode of Bigg Boss Season 18, tensions ran high as Chum Darang and Vivian Dsena engaged in a heated conversation about contestant rankings Vivian challenged her, asking if she believed she deserved to be ranked third. Chum quickly dismissed the idea, stating she wouldn’t place herself above Karan Veer. Vivian advised her not to give herself ranking on someone’s else’s aspect.
Chum added that she could settle for the fourth position, emphasizing her respect for Karan Veer’s standing in the house. Vivian, however, pressed further, questioning her contributions to the game. When Chum flipped the question back to him, Vivian admitted he hadn’t performed well in the last two weeks but argued he had otherwise made significant efforts.
Their exchange took a sharper turn when Chum pointed out Vivian’s reliance on others, noting his association with Chaahat Pandey and reminding him that his title as “Time God” came from Shilpa Shirodkar’s influence. Vivian countered by questioning if cooking and distributing meals could truly be called a contribution. Chum retorted that Vivian’s main activities involved sitting with his group and making coffee, which she didn’t see as impactful.
The argument escalated when Chum accused Vivian of being overconfident in the early weeks because of his fame. She went on to say he might make it to the top five but not because of his contributions but for his fame. Vivian, visibly irritated, insisted his efforts were valid and urged Chum to reflect on her journey. Chum responded sharply, claiming she wasn’t faking her actions like others in the house.
Vivian warned her against assuming what the audience thought. Chum dismissed his advice, confidently stating that viewers were perceptive enough to see everything he did. She accused him of not being active and stated she was now taking steps to make meaningful contributions. Shrutika Arjun sided with Chum, agreeing that Vivian’s involvement lacked substance, though Vivian continued to defend himself.
The conversation reached Karan Veer Mehra when Shilpa Shirodkar informed him of the heated debate. Karan Veer entered the scene and lightened the mood with a bold declaration: “I am number one.” Chum immediately agreed, reiterating that he was above everyone else, including herself.
Adding to the drama, the episode also featured the weekly nomination task. Where Chum cited this conversation and nominated Vivian. Kashish also claimed that Vivian never came forward for any confrontation. By the end of the day, several contestants found themselves on the chopping block. Sara Arfeen Khan, Eisha Singh, Kashish Kapoor, Avinash Mishra, Vivian Dsena, Rajat Dalal, and Chaahat Pandey are now up for eviction, intensifying the competition.
With emotions running high and alliances shifting, the dynamics in the house continue to evolve unpredictably. Each contestant’s journey and strategy remain under the microscope as the game heads into its next phase. The stakes are higher than ever, with every action and word scrutinized by both housemates and viewers alike.
