Bigg Boss 20 Nominations: Tasks, Immunity and Results

A nomination places a contestant in a particular elimination process. It does not confirm that the contestant will leave. The task rules and the final announced list explain what the nomination actually means.

Begin with the rule announced for that task

Nomination procedures can change from one task to the next. A housemate may name another participant, make a decision with a partner or respond to a special condition. Use the instruction announced in that episode rather than a rule remembered from an earlier season.

Three details help: who can make the choice, how many choices are allowed and what happens when a condition is not met. Once those details are clear, the final list is easier to understand.

Immunity needs a defined scope

Immunity can apply to a specific task or round. Its value depends on the protection actually announced. Do not assume it lasts for the season or that it overrides every later rule.

Captaincy can come with powers, duties or protection, but the exact benefits come from the current announcement. Record the reason for exemption alongside the contestant’s name. “Not nominated in this round” is clearer than an undated “safe.”

A recent example: the September 28 task

Navbharat Times reported that the September 28 task asked participants in pairs to agree on a nomination. Failure to agree could nominate both. Its report identified eleven nominees at the end of the process.

The full dated Week 4 nomination page keeps that reported list together. It does not turn the example into a rule for every future week.

Keep nomination and eviction as separate records

The nomination record identifies the people eligible under the stated process. The eviction record identifies the announced departure. A low position in a fan poll is neither of those records.

A contestant can attract strong online support while still appearing on a nomination list. Another can be exempt without leading a popularity poll. The statuses answer different questions and can coexist without contradiction.

What viewers can check before participating

Confirm the current official nomination list, the active voting window and the platform’s submission instructions. If a favorite’s name is absent from the official voting options, first check whether that person belongs to the current round.

For an opinion vote, use the VisitBest fan poll. For a show vote, use the official destination and read the rules displayed there. The voting distinction guide explains why those actions cannot be combined.

Read later changes with a timestamp

If the broadcast announces a revised list or a special elimination process, retain the date of both records. That prevents an older screenshot from appearing to contradict a newer decision.

A useful update states what changed and when it changed. It does not silently replace a historical list and leave the reader guessing which episode the page describes.
