The latest
“Chain-Reaction” nomination task on
Bigg Boss 19 has taken social media by storm. While the task was meant to add excitement and unpredictability to the show, it has instead triggered widespread debate about fairness, transparency, and the possibility of manipulation inside the Bigg Boss house.
What Happened in the Chain-Reaction Task?
In this week’s nomination round, contestants had to participate in a
locker-based “chain-reaction” task. Each locker contained a photo of another housemate, and whoever opened it had to decide whether to
save or nominate that contestant.
The task began with
Kunickaa Sadanand drawing
Gaurav Khanna’s name, giving him the power to start the chain. Gaurav nominated
Nehal Chudasama, who then saved
Amaal Mallik. Amaal saved
Shehbaaz Badesha, who nominated
Pranit More. Pranit saved
Abhishek Bajaj, who went on to nominate
Baseer Ali. Finally, Baseer nominated
Gaurav, completing the sequence.
By the end of the task, the contestants
nominated for eviction were
Nehal, Baseer, Gaurav, and Pranit.
Hina Khan and Manu Punjabi Question Fairness
The task’s format immediately drew criticism from former contestants and fans.
Hina Khan took to X (formerly Twitter) to call out what she described as
“fixed nominations”.
Her post suggested that producers might have influenced the task’s outcome by changing the photos or manipulating who got to start the chain.
Similarly,
Manu Punjabi shared his skepticism on YouTube, hinting that not everything on Bigg Boss is as spontaneous as it appears.
Fans React: “Was It All Pre-Planned?”
After the episode aired, fans flooded social media with mixed reactions. While some praised the twist as an innovative way to keep the show interesting, many others echoed Hina’s doubts.
On Reddit and X, several users speculated that the
order of contestants and photo reveals may have been pre-decided to create more drama and specific rivalries. One comment read:
The discussion quickly became one of the top trending topics related to
Bigg Boss 19, with hashtags like
BiggBoss19Fixed and
ChainReactionTask gaining traction.
Why the Task Still Worked for TRPs
Despite the controversy, the episode turned out to be one of the most talked-about of the season. The
Chain-Reaction Nomination Task generated massive online buzz, proving once again that unpredictability — real or perceived — keeps
Bigg Boss at the center of TV discussions.
For producers, the goal was simple: create a format that forces contestants to take quick decisions, reveal alliances, and ignite conflicts. From that angle, the task succeeded spectacularly.
The Verdict: Entertainment or Manipulation?
Whether the
Chain-Reaction Nomination Task was fair or not, one thing is clear — it got people talking. The episode reignited debates about
transparency in reality shows, with many demanding that future tasks be conducted more openly.
As Hina Khan said, “The audience deserves to know.” Fans are now waiting to see if the makers of
Bigg Boss 19 will respond or let the controversy fade as the season continues.
