In the latest episode of Bigg Boss 18, the house was abuzz with drama and strategy as the Time God task unfolded. Earlier, Shrutika Arjun was stripped of her Time God duties by Bigg Boss. She had failed to monitor the contestants properly while they were asleep. Following this, a new task was introduced to determine the next Time God. All contestants gathered in the garden area as Bigg Boss explained the rules. This task came with high stakes, as the winner would secure a direct entry into the 14th week of the show.
The task required contestants to create snowmen. Shrutika, acting as the task monitor, had to select the two best snowmen. These chosen contestants would then enter the activity room to shop for ration with 1,99,900 points. The task soon turned chaotic as contestants sabotaged each other’s snowmen. Despite the tension, Shrutika named Chum Darang and Karan Veer Mehra as the best performers. Both were granted the opportunity to bid for ration in the activity room.
Inside the activity room, Chum and Karan faced a crucial decision. Bigg Boss revealed that if one contestant used most of the points, the remainder would be left for house ration. And the one who would bid the most point would win the task.Misunderstanding the implications, Chum bid a staggering 19,99,899 points for herself while Karan bid 1,00,001. This left Karan Veer with just one rupee to purchase ration for the house. Realizing her error, Chum regretted her decision. Karan could only afford a single lemon, leaving the rest of the house with no supplies.
Bigg Boss crowned Chum as the new Time God. However, her victory came at a steep cost. Chum was tasked with returning the old ration to the storeroom. Her decision to prioritize her position over the house’s needs angered the other contestants. Several housemates, including Sara Arfeen Khan, Eisha Singh, and Rajat Dalal, openly expressed their frustration. Despite Chum’s apologies and her request to Bigg Boss to revoke her title, the damage had been done. Sara stored some food items in her drawer and refused to give them while other contestants defied the rules, retrieved the ration from the storeroom.
Unable to maintain order, Chum refrained from engaging in further conflict. Her inaction prompted Bigg Boss to reprimand her. He removed her from the Time God position, citing her failure to enforce the rules and declared that whatever items housemates had retrieved from the store room would be considered as the weekly ration.
Strategic Alliances: Avinash and Vivian’s Game Plan
Meanwhile, the house’s strategic alliances continued to evolve. In a candid conversation with Vivian Dsena, Avinash Mishra discussed his thoughts on Eisha Singh’s gameplay. Avinash revealed his belief that Eisha was aligning with Rajat and Karan for tactical reasons. He said Eisha had told him she would choose Rajat in crucial moments, trusting him to protect her interests without betrayal.
Vivian responded pragmatically, acknowledging that everyone had the right to make their own choices. He emphasized that he and Avinash should remain clear on their strategies and act accordingly. Avinash agreed, stating they would play independently if needed.
The episode ended with the house divided over Chum’s actions and contestants strategizing for the next round. With alliances forming and trust eroding, the stage is set for more intense drama in the coming days.
