The latest episode of Bigg Boss 18 (December 3) was packed with drama and tension as alliances wavered and emotions ran high. A major flashpoint occurred between Vivian Dsena and Shilpa Shirodkar after Eisha Singh, the current Time Goddess, refused to save Shilpa from nominations despite having the power to do so.
Eisha’s Decision Sparks Fallout
Eisha Singh’s choice not to save Shilpa Shirodkar left the veteran actress feeling betrayed. Shirodkar, who had always seen Eisha as a daughter, was visibly heartbroken. Karan Veer Mehra took this opportunity to advise Shilpa to focus on her game rather than personal relationships, pointing out that others might not reciprocate the same loyalty.
Tensions Between Vivian and Shilpa
During the episode, Shilpa referred to Vivian Dsena, Eisha Singh, and Avinash Mishra as “gamer log” while they were sitting at the dining table a term originally coined by Vivian himself. However, Vivian took offense to Shilpa’s comment, feeling that it was a jab at their gameplay.
Vivian shared his frustration with his group, intending to confront Shilpa directly about the remark. Avinash Mishra added fuel to the fire, telling Vivian that his “mom-son” dynamic with Shilpa had become tiresome and wasn’t benefiting his game.
Avinash to Vivian: “You have to end this mom-son angle; it’s been dragged for too long. It’s irritating, at least for me.”
Avinash further pointed out that while others were reaping benefits from Shilpa, Vivian wasn’t gaining anything. Vivian responded defensively, stating he hadn’t sought or received any benefits from the dynamic.
Shilpa Overhears the Conversation
As the discussion unfolded, Shilpa overheard part of it. Feeling slighted, she confronted the group, questioning why they were talking behind her back. Vivian tried to explain that he had planned to discuss it with her directly, but Shilpa dismissed his attempt, refusing to engage in a conversation.
What This Means for the Game
This episode highlights the growing fractures within alliances and underscores the challenge of balancing personal relationships with strategic gameplay. Vivian’s loyalty to Shilpa and their “mom-son” bond seems to be under scrutiny, with even his allies urging him to prioritize strategy over sentiment. Meanwhile, Shilpa must navigate the betrayal she feels and decide whether to continue trusting her current relationships or take a more independent path in the game.
As tensions rise, this episode sets the stage for more explosive confrontations and shifting alliances in the Bigg Boss 18 house.
