Here are the important highlights from Bigg Boss 19 episode 5.

The fifth episode of India’s beloved reality show Bigg Boss 19 aired tonight, and it was nothing short of drama! This episode was particularly significant as it kicked off the first captaincy race, and the stakes were high. From victories to betrayals and a lot of strategising, this episode had everyone on their toes. Even some old friendships were broken, and new alliances were formed. Read on to know the most important highlights of the episode!

Bigg Boss 19’s First Captaincy Battle

To elect the first captain of the Bigg Boss 19 house, the contestants participated in a fun game. A merry-go-round was installed in the backyard, and the contestants had to stand on it whenever the music played. They had to go inside each ‘house’ present near the merry-go-round when the music stopped; however, each house had a specific number of people it could fit, and that number was only displayed once the game was over. The operator then chose the house that would be disqualified in the first round. Baseer Ali was the operator of the game.

Tanya Mittal and Zeishan Quadri’s Tiff

In previous episodes, we saw Zeishan defending Tanya because she was sick; however, the two seem to be on bad terms after an argument over house chores. Their argument ended with Zeishan mockingly calling her ‘Mother Teresa,’ while Tanya said she felt like she had done nothing wrong and was just trying to be helpful.

Ashnoor, Abhishek, and Kunickaa Win The First Captaincy Game

The three contestants were the only ones left at the end of the game whose houses Baseer did not choose to eliminate. This made them eligible to run further for the captaincy.

Tanya Mittal Breaks Down

In an emotional moment, Tanya turned towards the camera, addressing her mother. The influencer shared a tearful message about her struggles in the house. She expressed frustration over not being recognised for the household work that she does and how everyone seemed to have a problem with her.

Kunickaa Confronts Gaurav Khanna

In a heated moment, Kunickaa blasted Gaurav for going behind her back to tell people not to vote for her as captain. She said that she felt betrayed by his actions and finally got to see Gaurav’s true self.

The final task to choose the house’s first captain was a tile game. The opponents had to turn the tiles of their competitors to win. Bigg Boss also announced that Tanya’s decision would be the final one. Kunickaa chose Baseer to guard her tiles, while Ashnoor and Abhishek chose themselves. The game quickly turned heated, with explosive fights taking place between Kunickaa and Abhishek.
