Bigg Boss 5: The house is divided into pairs as a new task is announced!

This episode of Bigg Boss 5 begins with Ravi approaching Nataraj Master regarding his hurtful claims on the former being a "Gunta Nakka". Nataraj Master acts innocent as if he never meant to say that to Ravi, but the latter doesn't buy his words. On the flipside, Ravi also tries to approach Kajal as things were rough between them during the nominations task. Kajal refused to talk to him, and she bluntly ignored all instances made by Ravi to make things right between them.

Ravi also witnesses Nataraj Master continuing his ridiculous ruse of comparing everyone in the house with animals from a tale.

As the day goes on, all the contestants in the garden area witness something shocking. The show staff enter the house and confiscate all available and hidden edibles, leaving nothing in the house.

The housemates are bewildered at this, and they try retrieving whatever stash they have left in their rooms, but that was also later confiscated. After a while, the house captain had to record all the weights of the players on a whiteboard. Later, Bigg Boss announces a new task where the house is supposed to divide into pairs. The overall theme of the task was that whoever loses the most weight, gets to contend in the captaincy contender task. The housemates shall do whatever they please to lose weight. In between, they will be assigned minor tasks where the winner has 500 grams decreased from their weight. And the loser has 500 grams increased in their overall weight. So far, Lobo and Nataraj Master have competed with Hamida and Sreerama Chandra.
