The latest eviction in Vijay Sethupathi’s Bigg Boss Tamil Season 9 has taken the audience by surprise, as ‘Watermelon star’ Diwakar was voted out despite his strong fan base. This week’s nomination list was one of the longest nomination lists, featuring 12 contestants including Gan Vinoth, Sabrinathan, Kamaruddin, Vikkles Vikram, Vijay Baru, FJ, Tusshar, Viyana, Kemi, Praveen Rajdev and Ramya Joo. Diwakar was also a part of this list and he got the least votes in the voting.
Why was Diwakar eliminated this week?
Fans continued to support Diwakar till the last moment, with many praising his humor and straightforward comments. However, his remarks related to “lack of education and village secrets” during an argument with Ramya created controversy in the house. The incident reportedly affected his public image and influenced polling results. Host Vijay Sethupathi has been warning contestants about their conduct every week, but many housemates continued to use harsh language, which led to criticism from viewers.
Right from the beginning of Bigg Boss Tamil Season 9, Diwakar grabbed attention with his style and confidence. However, he was nominated repeatedly. In the first week, she was listed with Aakori Kalaiyarasan, Vijay Parvathy and others, which increased the audience buzz around her. With Praveen Rajdev already ousted earlier this week, Diwakar’s exit turned the episode into an unexpected double shock.
Outside the House, some social media users alleged that Diwakar made caste-based comments, with some demanding that he be shown a “red card”. These claims intensified after the weekend episode, although Diwakar’s supporters argued that his comments were misinterpreted.
The contestants who are continuing in the game include Gana Vinoth, Vijay Baru, Thushar, Gani Thiru, Sabari Nathan, Ramya Joo, Viyana, Vikals Vikram, Kamaruddin and Akori Kalaiyarasan. With Diwakar gone, fans are expecting a lot of change in the tasks and strategies for the next week.
Social media has been actively discussing Diwakar’s eviction, with many debating whether the voting pattern truly reflects audience opinion. The makers have not yet announced details about the next eviction round, and updates on who can leave the house next are expected soon.
Meanwhile, several political groups have reiterated their demand for a ban on the show and claimed that the season 9 contestants are “behaving like children.” Despite weekly warnings from host Vijay Sethupathi, complaints over the language and arguments of the housemates keep increasing.
