The drama inside the Bigg Boss 19 house reached new heights this week as tempers flared, alliances shifted, and a brand-new captain emerged. Episode 66, which aired on October 28, was filled with chaos, strategy, and unexpected turns that kept viewers glued to their screens.
Kunika and Farhana Stir Chaos
The episode began with intense confrontations led by Kunika Sadanand, who once again became the center of controversy. Farhana Bhatt soon joined her, making life difficult for the current captain, Mridul Tiwari. Along with Neelam and Tanya, the duo deliberately refused to follow orders, leaving Mridul frustrated and helpless. Seeing the situation worsen, Gaurav Khanna stepped in with his team to handle the household duties, showing leadership when it was most needed.
Captaincy Changes Hands
Mridul’s reign as captain came to an end, paving the way for a fierce new captaincy task. Gaurav Khanna was a strong contender, but it was ultimately Praneet More who rose to the top, securing the captain’s badge after an intense showdown.
The “Mysterious Scientist Lab” Task
The week’s captaincy challenge, titled “Mysterious Scientist Lab,” brought a mix of creativity and competition. In this task, a “scientist” demanded specific items in each round, and housemates had to deliver them in pairs. The pair with the most successful deliveries won the round.
The task pairs were Kunika–Neelam, Tanya–Mridul, Praneet–Shahbaz, Gaurav–Malti, and Amal–Farhana. Abhishek and Ashnoor were barred from participating due to rule violations, with Ashnoor instead appointed as the task director.
Round-by-Round Victories
The task was divided into seven rounds, each requiring the collection of different objects. Shahbaz and Praneet dominated the opening round by collecting teddy bears. Amal and Farhana secured victory in the second and fifth rounds, while Kunika and Neelam triumphed in the third. Gaurav and Malti took the lead in the fourth and seventh rounds, and Mridul and Tanya won the sixth round.
At the end of seven rounds, the game ended in a tie, pushing the contestants into a crucial voting round.
The Voting Twist
In the final voting session, Shahbaz and Praneet received five votes, while Gaurav and Malti received three. With the majority support, Praneet More officially became the new captain of the house, marking a major shift in power dynamics.
The Final Gunshot Challenge
To seal the captaincy, the contestants faced one last hurdle—the “Gunshot” task. After each gunshot, three balls rolled down a slide, but only one carried a number. The contestants had to race to grab it, and the numbers collected determined the final score. With strategic help from Ashnoor, Abhishek, Gaurav, and Malti, Praneet secured victory and claimed the captaincy title.
A New Phase Begins
Episode 66 wrapped up with the house divided into camps once again. While Praneet celebrated his win, others plotted their next moves. Kunika and Farhana’s defiance, Mridul’s frustration, and Gaurav’s near miss all added layers of tension that promise more drama ahead.
Bigg Boss 19 continues to deliver emotional highs, shocking twists, and power plays that keep audiences hooked night after night.
