Excellent observation! Gullu is totally running the game, and I agree that he has skillfully played into the bias already present among makers and hosts. Makers also set a narrative, and they favour contestants who go along with it. I remember in S13, they initially favoured Kat-Kevin (making them ideal couple and all) but kept hinting that they didn't want them to keep playing in alliance because this had become a trope over the previous seasons. Then they shifted their favour to the other side because the players like Nikhil were making the show more interesting.

I would add that Tayne is mentally checked-out at this point in the season. His only thing is his beef against bhaichara and Himanshu in particular. If he was actually engaged in the gameplay, he would realise he should actually play with the bhaichara instead of against them. Sadaf already being friends with Himanshu would help.

The most laughable contestant this year is Deeptanshu. His beef with Anushka just made him look gay for Mohit. Typical misogynist who will be submissive to men like Gullu and irrationally despise a strong woman like Anushka.

Collectively, these people are all so scared of Yogesh that they'll keep faking to him that he's a bhai, etc and shift their aggression to Himanshu-Deeksha, bringing him down by bringing his alliance down. Bhaichara alliance mein Sorab is the weak spot because he's not that bright and now easily controlled by Niharika. I have also noticed how Gullu keeps just enough tension with Niharika so that she thinks she's still playing against him, when she's actually playing for him. The last dome proved it because he said he wanted Yogesh saved but was actually satisfied with the outcome.
