Ok now, this is the height of it! #GautamGulatiRules just beat Kiran Bedi on Twitter to become the no. 1 trending topic. Woah! This is huge.

This guy needs to run for office or something, dude! I’m a totally unbiased Bigg Boss 8 viewer, but the frequency with which Gautam Gulati has been trending on Twitter, all thanks to his devout fans, I’m sensing a little bias seeping in.

So let’s just look at the 11 times Gautam totally ruled Bigg Boss 8:

1) He came in with a bang!

This might have gone a bit unnoticed, but remember the very first day when the contestants entered the house and GG had to choose between Sukirti Kandpal and Sargun Mehta? Most might not, but after a momentary stumble, Gautam in true honesty made his choice. That was gutsy, no?

2) When he flirted with Diandra like a pro!

Initially, it did seem like he had come with an agenda and found himself a love interest in Diandra Soares (who, mind you, is hard to please.)

3) He moved on like a one man army

Oh, the infamous Karishma Tanna fight where she almost punctured our ear drums with her screeching voice asking for “justice” and “disqualification” – making GG the star he is today.

4) He also held his own against Puneet Issar

Yes, before he and Punz were like father and son, they had a rash argument where Puneet got physical. This all went down during the Sweet Shop task!

5) And then they became inseparable

While no one could stand Puneet for too long in the house, and he would also lose his cool on every member – Gautam managed to create a soft spot for himself in his heart.

6) Finally, when his feelings for Diandra materialized

He might be hiding it for what his family might say, but we saw how he truly felt about her.

7) He indulged in the sin of gluttony

Yes, the Nutella! Need I say more? Even when he steals, he wins our hearts 🙂

8) How he tackled the whole Sonali chapter

After Diandra, he remained a one woman man. He was clever enough to understand every time Sonali Raut made a move on him and knew where his loyalties lay.

9) His confrontations with Tanna

Everytime Karishma opened her mouth in front of him, I felt like he was going to lose his cool and finally tell her off. But no, this man has kept his calm and let it go with a genuine smile.

10) When he spoke nothing but the truth
