Bigg Boss 19's game might have just begun, and the housemates are already faced with the toughest challenge - to evict one contestant among them. They have to pick a name and tell Bigg Boss about the person who they found 'least impressive.' Interestingly, it is just day 1 of Salman Khan's show. The question now is whether this is an eviction or the start of the secret task.
Salman Khan's Bigg Boss 19 promo from day 1 is here, and the housemates have to suggest the first eviction already! This happens as there is a task which has the spot for 15 people, when there are 16 contestants in the house.

Netizens have been showing constant disappointment ever since Shehnaaz Gill's brother Shehbaz Badesha was not able to enter Bigg Boss 19 during Fans Ka Faisla task with Mridul Tiwari. Although Mridul might have won, Shehbaz could be part of a secret task, and is likely to have the 'evicted' contestant join him.
As reported previously, the season is likely to reintroduce the secret room. This is where two contestants get to observe the contestants from a new perspective before they enter/re-enter the house. This concept was a part of Bigg Boss 13, with winner Sidharth Shukla being one of the contestants. So, it wouldn't be a surprise if Shehbaz and another contestant are part of the secret task and then enter the house a few days later.
Bigg Boss 19 grand premiere took place on Sunday, August 24. The episode streamed on JioHotstar (OTTplay Premium) at 9 pm and was followed by the TV version streaming at 10.30 pm. The viewers can now stream the show daily at the said time, and also get access to the live footage of the contestants on OTTplay Premium.
