Bigg Boss 5: Siri or Shanmukh? Whose photo will the house decide to burn?

Bigg boss announces this week’s captaincy task. 

In this task, the four captaincy contenders are supposed to catch a big wooden ring, and whoever is holding the ring until the end becomes the captain of the house. Any contender who lets go of the ring due to any reason loses.

Maanas wins the task and becomes the captain of the house. 

The next day, Bigg Boss offers an “eviction free pass” task to the nominees for this week’s elimination. In this task, the elimination nominees must convince the housemates to save their photo from burning up in a fire havoc set-up orchestrated by Bigg Boss. 

In the task, there is also a fire truck that has water enough for only one burning photo in every round. The safe housemates have only limited time to decide who to save. 

In round one, among Sreeram and Maanas, the latter’s photo gets burnt. In the next round, Ravi’s photo gets burnt, and Anee Master gets saved. The third round gets concluded with Sunny getting saved over Priyanka. In the next two rounds, Siri gets saved over Sreeram and Shanmukh. Sunny wins the sixth round as he gets saved, and Kajal's photo gets burnt.

The now nerve-wracking task comes to an abrupt pause when Kajal flips her decisions over saving Anee Master and Siri. Maanas has a hard time keeping up with her so-called strategy. On the flip side, anxiety takes the best out of Anee Master as she loses her cool.
