The Bigg Boss house is never short of drama and this time it’s Archana Gautam who adds fuel to the fire as she dozed off and refused to perform her share of house duties, incurring house captain Sajid Khan’s displeasure that saw them exchanging verbal volleys with each other.

However, the latest antic of Archana seems to have gone the wrong way as all the contestants — save Soundarya Sharma — come together to teach her a lesson for skipping her duties.

In tonight’s episode, Shiv Thakare and Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia check up on Archana to know if she’s declining to do her duties on the grounds of being unwell. A stubborn Archana makes it abundantly clear that she will perform her chores only when she wants to and that the contestants should stop ‘barking’ threats at her.

But Archana’s obstinacy and repeated negligence towards her duties unite the housemates against her. They clearly tell the ‘bad egg’ that if she doesn’t begin fulfilling her duties within 20 minutes, she will be subject to severe punishment.

As Archana continues to stick to her demands, the housemates take all her clothes out of her suitcase and discard them in the jail area. As a last resort, MC Stan, Shalin Bhanot, Gautam Singh Vig and Shiv Thakare lift the mattress she’s sleeping on and rest it on the floor of her bedroom.

The tension in the house hits a pause with a unique captaincy task that pits Sajid Khan’s favourite housemates against the non-favourite contestants. The task starts with Bigg Boss summoning the non-favourites — Tina Datta, Archana Gautam, Shalin Bhanot, Soundarya Sharma, Gautam Singh Vig, Priyanka Chahar Choudhary and Ankit Gupta — to the activity area. There are five face busts with the names of the favourite housemates — Sajid Khan, Abdu Rozik, Shiv Thakare, Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia and MC Stan — written on them. On the command of Bigg Boss, one of the non-favourites will have to turn a designated face bust to recover a scroll of instructions for a task they must accomplish together with that favourite contestant.

The first task involves getting Nimrit, who’s known for taking her sweet time to be camera-ready for duties, to change her clothes twice. The second one entails the non-favourites getting MC Stan to rap. The contestant who wins this war between the favourites and the non-favourites will don the mantle of captaincy.
