Bigg Boss 20 Week 5: 8 Nominated, Qazi Leads Early Trends

Bigg Boss 20 has stepped into its fifth week, and the house is once again split between the safe and the nominated. The week’s early voting trends are now doing the rounds, and they show one contestant opening a lead while a few familiar names are slipping towards the danger zone.

The season premiered on September 6 with Salman Khan back as host and 16 celebrity contestants in the house. Three eliminations have already shaped the competition: Rohed Khan, Isha Rikhi and Rhiti Tiwari have been voted out. With Week 5 underway, the remaining contestants are fighting for both survival and screen time, since nominations can change friendships as quickly as they change the game.

Eight names on the Week 5 eviction list

The nomination task followed the familiar pressure-cooker format: each housemate had to name two contestants for eviction. When the count was done, eight names were in the frame: Qazi Touqeer, Mahhi Vij, Aman Gandhi, Kanika Mann, Gullu, Mary Kom, Love Gill and Arishfa Khan.

Supporters have until Friday, October 9 at 10 AM to vote. As always, the final call does not come from online trends – it comes from the official vote count and is expected to be announced on the Weekend Ka Vaar episode.

Where the early voting trends stand

According to reported early trends, Qazi Touqeer has moved to the top of the chart with a comfortable lead. Love Gill is second and Gullu follows in third, giving both a healthier cushion as the voting window continues. Kanika Mann and Arishfa Khan are sitting around the middle.

The bottom of the early list is where the tension is. Mahhi Vij, Aman Gandhi and Mary Kom are reportedly among the lowest-ranked contestants right now. That does not make the result final, but it does tell fans where the urgent work is before Friday morning.

Why early trends are useful but not final

These numbers are unofficial, gathered from the early buzz around fan voting. In a format like Bigg Boss, early trends are best read as a snapshot of momentum rather than a prediction. A contestant who is lagging on Thursday can gain ground if their fan base treats the closing window as a priority.

The same logic applies to the leaders: sitting at number one on Tuesday or Wednesday is comfortable, but it is not a guarantee. Voting behaviour shifts once the weekend episode approaches and casual viewers start participating.

What fans should do before Friday

If you are backing a nominated contestant, here is the practical side:

• Vote through the official Bigg Boss channels before Friday, October 9 at 10 AM.
• Do not treat an early trend as the final result – a low placement means vote more, not less.
• Watch the Weekend Ka Vaar episode for the official confirmation.

Week 5 matters because the field is narrowing. With three contestants already out, every nomination task now carries heavier stakes, and the difference between staying and leaving can come down to a few hours of organised fan voting.
