He isn't doing much in the show but still the episodes are very Vikas centric since he entered, because of contestants constantly talking about him.
Arshi is targeting him from the start, and all contestants are seeing some ulterior motive in his every move, which is only glorifying his mastermind image.
If we talk about fan-following, nobody can touch Rubina this season. But Bigg Boss is constantly pushing this narrative that Rubina is doing nothing in the show and doesn't deserve to win.
Now whether Rubina deserves winning the show or not is subjective opinion, but if Bigg Boss wants to make her winner, then they wouldn't be pushing this narrative that she's useless and boring.
That's why I think they might push Vikas in the end and make him winner. Since the time, the old contestants of previous seasons have entered, they have overshadowed housemates of this season.
The biggest reason Rubina might not win despite having the biggest fanbase, is because she can't function without Abhinav. She'll become alone and aloof once Abhinav gets evicted.
So Bigg Boss might have brought Vikas Gupta to give him trophy because they don't want to give it to Jasmin, Eijaz or Rahul (if he comes back).
