What has changed since the premiere
Reports from later in the season show the cast has moved on from the opening list, and the exits below are drawn from two trackers (Wellthrise and ReadersFusion, both updated around 22 October) that largely agree. Exact episode dates differ by a day or so between sources.
- Earlier exits: Rohed Khan went out in week 2 and Isha Rikhi in week 3, both by public vote, per the two trackers.
- Rhiti Tiwari: Deccan Chronicle reported on 1 October that she was evicted in a mid-week elimination after captaincy contenders were given a special power.
- Wild cards: Manish Goel and Nakul Dhull entered as wild cards around the week 5 weekend, per the trackers. Nakul Dhull was removed mid-week, in the episode shown on 14 October, after a physical fight with Gullu. Manish Goel is still in the house.
- Aman Gandhi: Two trackers say he was evicted by public vote at the Weekend Ka Vaar on 17 to 18 October.
- Love Gill (named Lovepreet Gill in an earlier report) is described by the trackers as having joined through the pre-premiere fan vote, which is why she is not in the 15-name premiere list.
- Reported house before the week 7 result (13 names, per Wellthrise): Qazi Touqeer, Mahhi Vij, Yung DSA, Arishfa Khan, Aasif Khan, Kanika Mann, ScoutOP, Love Gill, Uditi Singh, Amrapali Dubey, Manish Goel, Gullu (Kushal Tanwar) and Mary Kom.
Week 7 nominations
As of 19 October 2026, Deccan Chronicle lists seven contestants as nominated for the week 7 eviction: Uditi Singh, Amrapali Dubey, Manish Goel, Arishfa Khan, Love Gill, Kushal Tanwar and Mary Kom. The result was expected at the weekend episode of 24 to 25 October and was not announced when we checked, so we are not saying who left.
Who looks strong?
A 16 October article speculated that ScoutOP, Kanika Mann, Qazi Touqeer, Mahhi Vij, Yung DSA and Arishfa Khan could make the top six. This is a prediction, not a result, and the show can change quickly.
What we could not confirm
- The house list after the week 7 eviction, which was still pending when we checked.
- The wild-card entries from an official source; the names above come from media trackers.
- The exact finale date. We saw no confirmed date. One tracker says the season is planned for about 105 days, which would point to late December 2026, but that is not official.
How to follow the season
For the cleanest view of who is still in, use the official JioHotstar show page or the Colors website, since fan pages often mix rumours with news. Voting and eviction details are given on the show page.
Why the lists online differ
Bigg Boss is a live show, and many websites mix confirmed names with rumours. Before the premiere, sites such as Deccan Chronicle and Esquire India ran “probable” or “rumoured” lists. Some names in those lists, such as Mouni Roy and Rajat Bedi, were rumours that did not appear in the premiere report we checked, so we have not included them. Only the Outlook India premiere list above is a post-launch report.
How the show works
Contestants are nominated each week, and a vote and the host’s weekend episode decide who leaves. The makers can also add twists like mid-week eviction powers, wild cards and double evictions, which is why the house list changes. Always read the date on any list you see.
Bigg Boss 20 is live and the list keeps changing. We will update when the next eviction is confirmed. Last checked 24 October 2026.
