The Bigg Boss 20 house has barely had time to settle down, but the drama has already begun. Just two days after the grand premiere, the contestants have been thrown into their first nomination task, and the results have created plenty of tension inside the house.

The first round of nominations has put five female contestants in danger of elimination. However, there's an interesting twist this season that could give the nominated contestants another opportunity to remain in the game.

These 5 contestants are nominated

After the first nomination task, Luv Gill, Kanika Mann, Arishfa Khan, Amrapali Dubey and Uditi Singh have landed in the danger zone.

One of these contestants could potentially be eliminated during the first Weekend Ka Vaar. But this season's rules reportedly come with two lifelines, meaning an elimination may not necessarily mark the end of a contestant's journey.

That twist could completely change the dynamics of the competition.

Luv Gill gets the most votes

Punjabi actress and model Luv Gill emerged as the biggest target during the first nomination round.

She received four votes, with Kanika Mann, Uditi Singh, Aman and rapper Young DSA choosing to nominate her.

Her approach and behaviour since entering the house apparently haven't gone down well with several contestants, making her the most heavily targeted contestant in the first task.

Meanwhile, Arishfa Khan, Amrapali Dubey, Kanika Mann and Uditi Singh each received three votes.

Mary Kom and Mahi Vij add an unexpected twist

Two contestants who made their presence felt during the nomination process were Mary Kom and Mahi Vij.

Mary Kom chose to nominate Kushal Tanwar (Gullu) and Arishfa Khan, while Mahi Vij voted against Arishfa Khan and Uditi Singh.

Their choices added another layer of uncertainty to an already unpredictable nomination round.

Here's how the votes were divided

A closer look at the voting pattern shows how different groups inside the house may already be taking shape.

Arishfa Khan was targeted by Mary Kom, Scout and Young DSA.

Kanika Mann received nominations from Asif Khan, Rohed Khan and Amrapali Dubey.

Amrapali Dubey was nominated by Arishfa, Aman Gandhi and Gullu.

Uditi Singh received votes from Asif, Scout and Riti Tiwari.

With alliances seemingly beginning to form this early in the season, the upcoming episodes could reveal which contestants are actually working together and who is playing an individual game.

TV popularity vs social-media fan power

The first nominations have also created an interesting battle between different types of fan bases.

Kanika Mann enters the competition with an established television audience, while Arishfa Khan has a massive digital following and strong social-media presence.

Amrapali Dubey, meanwhile, has considerable popularity among Bhojpuri cinema audiences, particularly across Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand.

The big question now is whether traditional television popularity, digital influence or regional fan support will have the biggest impact when viewers decide who stays.

Who will survive the first elimination?

With five popular female contestants facing nominations, the first elimination of Bigg Boss 20 could be one of the most closely watched moments of the season.

And with the reported two-lifeline twist, even the contestant who gets eliminated may not necessarily have said their final goodbye to the Bigg Boss house.

For now, the real question is simple: Will Luv Gill survive despite receiving the most nominations, or will another big name be the first contestant to leave?
