Bigg Boss 5: Shanmukh becomes the eighth captain of the house!

This chaotic episode of Bigg Boss 5 begins with the captaincy task announced by Bigg Boss. In this task, the captaincy contenders carry gunny bags filled with thermocol balls. They must constantly walk within the perimeter of a three-layered circle. If the contestant stops walking, they get immediately disqualified. When the game gets to only two contenders remaining, the one who has the most thermocol balls in their gunny bags becomes the captain.

As the task started, Jessie misunderstood the task by thinking that whichever player gets out of the circle gets immediately disqualified. Sunny and Sreeram get into a heated dispute as they tackle each other out of the ring. Bigg Boss calls in Jessie to clarify the rules.

The game started fresh again. Sreeram immediately targetted Sunny and had him disqualified. As if that wasn't enough, he also constantly provoked Sunny till he burst into an outrage. Sreeram targetted Maanas next by disqualifying him the same way as Sunny. Later Sreeram himself got disqualified after Anee Master, and other contenders tackled him out.

When only Anee Master, Siri and Shanmukh remain, the latter two try to corner Anee Master out of the game. Anee Master immediately reads the situation, and she gets so outraged by their groupism that she dumps away her thermocol balls and walks out of the ring. She rages about how repulsive the groupism of Siri and Shanmukh's and Maanas and Sunny's are.

In the end, Siri and Shanmukh remain. After what seemed like 2 minutes, Shanmukh easily won against his show best friend and became the captain.
