Guests

ana Wadiwala

Sana is a twin-sister of house-mate Alina where both are identical twins. At the end of week five on day 33 when Alina was later evicted from the house Bigg Boss introduced Sana into the house for a while by replacing Alina. She was to impersonate Alina and if she could do so for a whole day Bigg Boss announced that she may be introduced into the house as a regular house-mate beside Alina. Sana's entry remained short-lived as her impersonation was quickly identified by the house-mates.

Weekly Summary

Nominations table

* fnb|1For all the up for eviction (nominated) candidates who are voted by the housemates every week to face public vote for eviction, the numbers in the bracket indicate: (total nomination votes for eviction / total voters).
* fnb|2Jade left the House due to medical reasons.
* fnb|3Ashutosh, Alina and Sambhavana were not allowed to nominate this week as punishment from Bigg Boss for breaking house rules.
* fnb|4Through a successful weekly task Bigg Boss gave Raja a special privilege to name one person who would be nominated for eviction for week four irrespective of nomination vote-count. Raja named Ketaki (indicated above by 'N'). Ketaki also received three nominations from other housemates by normal voting process. Raja remained immune from nomination for week four.
* fnb|5During a heated verbal exchange between Sambhavna and Raja a day prior to nomination day, Bigg Boss found Raja guilty of breaking important house rules on the account of use of foul language. As a warning to all housemates and as a penalty for Raja, Bigg Boss himself nominated Raja for eviction and banned him from using his nomination right for week five.
On other accounts of breaking house-rules such as falling asleep during afternoons, Bigg Boss conducted the nomination voting process for week five in open group as against to the usual process that takes place individually within the secrecy of the confession room. The numbers in the individual's box above show the order in which Bigg Boss asked the members to declare their two nominations along with their reasons in front of all other housemates.
Diana Hayden entered the house Monday after the nomination process for week 5 was over and so she remained exempt for week 5.
* fnb|6The night before the nomination day, Rahul disconnected the loudspeakers from men's bedroom. Raja raised the protest to Bigg Boss citing Rahul's act as a violation of an important house-rule and demanded similar penalty as he was given the week before for a house-rule violation. Bigg Boss found Rahul guilty. Bigg Boss himself nominated Rahul and he was also banned from voting for week six.
See weekly summary for Week 6 for further .
* fnb|7Following his 'fake' eviction Raja Choudhary spent the weekend in the secret room of the Bigg Boss house and thus remained away and exempt from the nominations for week 7.
* fnb|8Monica Bedi got a wild-card entry to re-enter the Bigg Boss house after being voted in by the people. Monica entered the house after the nomination process for week 8 was over. She thus remained exempt from the nominations.
