Bigg Boss finds the rulers in Manu-Priyanka for the BB house; Bani banned & Mona-Gaurav’s Jacuzzi bath!

 

In the BB house now, Priyanka and Manu are the rulers of the Bigg Boss house today. Quite exactly! In the luxury budget task ‘BB Democracy’, Bigg Boss asks the gharwale to take some significant decisions from time to time and the final verdict will depend on the majority. But, while the gharwale think that they are the ones taking the decision, it is actually Manu and Priyanka taking the decision from the secret room.

Under the BB Democracy task, the first question is whether to ban Bani from using the gym and Manu and Priyanka, mutually, decide to ban her and on hearing the verdict, Bani is shell-shocked. Unnecessary to say, Bani is disappointed and asks the gharwale individually of their decision. But Dear Bani, don’t blame them because in reality, the decision makers are snuggled up inside the secret room. The second question is to choose someone who will spend half an hour in the Jacuzzi and the options are Swamiji-Lopa or Mona-Gaurav. To everybody’s astonishment, the verdict is Mona-Gaurav. But Mona soars the temperature inside the Jacuzzi by her sexy dance moves but looks like, Gaurav isn’t involved.

Moving on, the third question is to constrain Lopa to use the bathroom of the jail and while Priyanka feels that Lopa should be restricted, Manu differs with Jagga and spells a No, which obviously, makes Lopa happy. While Lopa is rejoicing, it is time for Rohan to get upset as the next question is to let Rohan, Lopa, Nitibha or Manveer surrender their personal belongings to Bigg Boss, and Manu and Priyanka choose Rohan.

But amongst all this, we spotted a sad Bani roaming alone in the house and later in the night, we see her crying also. Like we informed you about the friction in Manveer-Mona friendship, Mona, apparently, has found a new friend in Gaurav and Maveer-Nitibha are going strong, together. 

Bigg Boss 10’s participant Manveer wants to leave the show but Mona tries to console him!

Recall about the ugly fight between Rohan and Manveer. After coming out of the confession room, Manveer takes off his mike and expresses his wish to leave the show. Although Mona tries to explain, Manveer is just not in the mood. Later, Bigg Boss calls him again to the confession room and listens to his grievance and makes him understand. While Manveer expresses his wish of hitting someone, in an act of impulsion, Bigg Boss requests him to be patient. Phir hona kya tha, Manveer smiles and wears his mike.

As part of the task, Bigg Boss gives a chance to the teams to take out four essentials from their containers. To win this, two contestants from each team have to drink a jug full of bitter guard juice. While Lopa and Gaurav participate in the task, Lopa wins the task as she finishes the jug of karela juice first.
