Bigg Boss Malayalam 8: After 6 Exits, Eldho Rumoured Next

The Bigg Boss Malayalam 8 house is heading into another eviction, and the weekend chatter has already settled on a name. Days after the show’s first mass eviction removed six contestants in one go, viewers are now asking who walks out next.

What’s fuelling the Eldho buzz

After Saturday’s episode was filmed, social media was filled with speculation that Eldho has been evicted. The host reportedly hinted that Sunday’s instalment would bring another exit, but the makers have not confirmed anything yet.

Eldho has been a watch-this-space contestant this season. He entered the house on premiere day after being among the finalists in the pre-show Agnipareeksha. His run has been divisive: he earned attention for the stand he took inside the house, but he also faced viewer criticism, with some calling his behaviour ‘fake’. He was criticised again after an altercation involving Goutham and Tashi, where he was accused of threatening Tashi.

How the eviction list looks

This week’s nominations came from two directions. The wildcard entrants used their special power to send four contestants straight into eviction, while the regular housemate vote added more names in the fifth week.

• Wildcard direct nominations: Tashi, Goutham, Eldho and Asif
• Regular nominations: Aishwarya Madhu, Rahul Easwar, Wikky, Kadal Komban and Shijin

That is a crowded danger zone, and it explains why the rumour mill is working overtime. With a direct nomination already against him, Eldho is a plausible exit, but the buzz is still just buzz.

Why the wildcard power changes the game

Wildcard entrants often arrive with an advantage, and this season they used it to bypass the usual housemate-driven nomination debate. That is why Tashi, Goutham, Eldho and Asif went straight into the danger zone rather than relying on votes from the rest of the house. For viewers, that means the elimination is not a straightforward popularity test; a small group of late entrants can reshape the game in one move.

Eldho’s situation shows how quickly momentum can turn. He arrived with a boost from Agnipareeksha, but a direct nomination and social media backlash can put a contestant on the back foot almost immediately.

Where the house stands after last week

The house is still absorbing last week’s mass eviction. Sumesh, Gayathri Suresh, Rakesh, Loletta, Jaseela Parveen and Sreelakshmi Arakkal left together, while Mridhula Vijai and Anjali re-entered from the secret room. That level of churn makes every subsequent eviction feel bigger.

Until the show names the next evicted contestant, Eldho’s exit remains unconfirmed. Fans who do not want the result spoiled should be careful around social media this weekend, but everyone else can simply wait for Sunday’s episode to settle the question.
