By Anil Merani: Bigg Boss OTTÂ 3 is now in its final stretch. We now have our top five finalists as we climax on 2nd Aug, after a very successful season with views adding up to crores.
Let see do SWOT anayalis of the top five
While Kritika might be hamstrung by her husband’s absence going ahead, she had let Armaan Malik lead the way so far. So, on the face of it, the voting audience might not have any sympathy/support for her, and she should be the next evictee.
But this is Bigg Boss, a realm of unpredictability. Kritika could either carve a unique path for herself or bide her time, hoping to reach the final two on the coattails of others. In this game, survival often comes down to the wire.
All said and done, Kritika has become a known face. She might have earned the ire of the female fandom, but she is still recognized.
It would be interesting to see how the trio couple, consisting of Payal, Armaan, and Kritika, navigates life ahead. Will any one of them now call time? Payal had previously stated she would divorce Armaan, only to deny it later, adding a layer of uncertainty to their relationship dynamics.
Naezy is another weak link, who can’t think beyond Sana Makbul; he follows her unthinkingly. The audience would like an inmate who thinks and plays for himself.
However, the rapper has emphasized that he can think for himself
He might survive, for Bigg Boss might want him along with Sana till the better end to create more drama. Â
It’s important to remember that the Bigg Boss is not a silent spectator in elimination matters. At time they try to change the outcome.
Ranvir Shorey is a strong player. He has remained in contention with his fights and honest and forthright opinions. He always has a point of view that he stands for.  His run-in with Sana Makul got quite nasty with name-calling. This shows how much of a threat they both regard each other.
Ranvir fans are upset at Sana for dragging his thirteen-year-old son into an argument. She further claimed to have a lot of dope on him.
Sana’s fans continued questioning Ranvir’s use of derogatory language against their fav.
Sana, too, has impressed me with her game. She knows how to play the cards. She has cultivated good relationship with Sai and Naezy, which will hold her in good stead toward the finale.
On his part, Ranvir has a good tuning with Sai Ketan Rao. Will that come unravelling as the fight heads to the finish?
Sai Ketan Rao also has managed to create a strong image of himself. His verbal abuse of  Vishal Pandey was ignored, for the latter spoke ill of his parent.
He gets along well with most, so avoid getting into nomination politics.
Sai also has an excellent equation with Sana Makul. Interestingly, both the TV names have survived while strong YT (Vishal Pandey, Luv Kataria and Armaan Malik) inmates had to bite the dust.
Sana and Ranvir are the strongest candidates to win, but you never know, Sai, with his strong online following, might pip others to the post. This highlights the increasing influence of social media on the show’s dynamics and potential outcomes.
