I hate the sound of Priyanka Jagga. Barely 6 minutes into the episode, everybody is fighting. About food. As per the luxury task, the nominated contestants in the challenger room have to pedal a double seater cycle 24*7 to fulfill the needs of the housemates.
I was prepared to expect a lot of commotion when Priyanka was announced the kaarya sanchalak yesterday. I closed my eyes for a minute and felt like I was sitting in an unmanned classroom full of unruly kids. The issue here was that the challengers stopped pedalling till they were given breakfast, as a result of which Bigg Boss switched off the gas required to cook food. The housemates were obviously furious.
Ugh.
Somewhere towards the end of this fight sequence, Nitibha told Priyanka to go to her “Papa ji”, referring to Swami ji. I thought it was really funny, but Priyanka got pissed and a minute later, both she and her papa ji were crying in different corners of the house. I only understood that the issue here was a sensitive one, i.e Papa ji.
To sum it up in a sentence: “Tum mujhe apna pita nahi maanti, par main tumhe apni beti maanta hu.” Go figure!
Seing Swami ji cry, Nitibha told him that he was “cute” except that he says/does “utli pulti cheeze” sometimes. Pyaare ho aap, she said. Aww! Finally someone understood him.
As part of the task, the gong rang to signify that one of the contestants must empty his/her test tube to eliminate someone from the captaincy race. Nitibha empties her test tube and Lopa loses the race to captaincy. Before emptying the test tube, she said she wants to take a mature decision “for a change.”
Self acceptance, for a change.
The pedalling task came to an end and Bigg Boss declared Priyanka unsuccessful in fulfilling her responsibilities, as a result of which she was automatically out of the captaincy race. Thank heavens!

M3 gang no more?
The captaincy task put all the relationships in testing waters. Priyanka clearly wants to break M3- Manu, Manveer and Mona. And she succeeded till a point, I guess. Manveer is mad at Mona, Manu is mad at Manveer. Mona is howling that she wants to go home. All for captaincy.
Manu told Manveer that Priyanka was trying to create a rift between them and Mona. On the other hand, Priyanka and Nitibha warned Manveer against Manu’s game. The latter was convinced by others to empty his test tube. The political quotient in the house was so high that Modi ji would have felt left out.
FYI, Priyanka called Manu “mera ladka“, who is now Mona’s. Her insecurity is touching the sky.
It almost felt as if M3 was no more, till Manu asked Manveer and Mona to sit down and sort out their differences. Manveer offered Mona a seat and said, “Tu upar bethne layak ladki hai” (You are the kinda girl who deserves to sit above).
Yes, #ISpotSexismEverywhere
And what is your parameter for that anyway, Manveer?
And no, I did not bother to pay attention to what he said after that.
The conclusion is Manveer and Gaurav are the final contenders for captaincy. I am just glad it ended. Phew!
