So the unexpected finally happened on the Bigg Boss show. We are talking about the eviction of Rakhi Sawant---the heart throb of the show. Flanked by her boyfriend Abhishek Awasti at a power packed press meet, she described her eviction in the words "I am sad that I had to leave half way, it was quite a surprise. But I would love to be back in the show even if I am not paid any money"

Nevertheless, her eviction may not be final if the wild card dimension is taken into account. Says Sandiip Sikcand, the chief Creative Director, Sony Television, "She was my favouite on the show, but I am shocked that she is out of the show now. But, we have the option of a wild card entry and the only thing to be decided is whether the audience or the inmates should nominate the new entrant to the Bigg Boss's den. The nominee can be an evictee or a completely new face."

Sandiip has said on many occasions that Rakhi Sawant is the USP of the show. Now, the big question looming across the Bigg Boss's screen is whether Rakhi stands a chance of a comeback?

Adds a rather emotional Rakhi, "I think being nice and caring in the Bigg Boss's house does not make you a strong contender for the title. Look at what happened to Deepak Ji, he was so caring and yet was evicted. You got to be more bitchy and politicking to survive in the den. If ever I get a chance to go back, I'll re-think my strategy to survive longer."

And who does she think is the strong contender for the tiltle? "Well, I would like to name three, Rahul for being intelligent enough to understand the game, Ragini for her invincible spirit and Ravi for his ever ready manipulations. All three qualify for the tiltle, but if I am recalled then prepare for a new twist"

Sandiip warns us about more unexpected events popping-up along the course of the show. "We have a corner in the Big Boss's house that has not been revealed, not even to the inmates. To keep the show going we'll soon reveal more surprises from the Bigg Boss house."

Surely the fireworks have begun. The hunter has become the hunted. Rakhi's eviction only proves that reality shows don't traverse expected lines. The Bigg Boss is poaching. Let's wait for the next victim.
