Bigg Boss 9

Day 18 of Bigg Boss 9 has come to a close, and this is one where most people seem to have bonded a little! Not only did Keith tell Prince he considers him a younger brother and will always be by his side, but by the end of the day he also realises that Kishwer isn’t that bad and just has a bit of a temper. And to top that off, Suyyash even bonded with Mandana! But it wouldn’t be an episode of Bigg Boss if everything was all peachy, would it? Nope! So here are 6 strange things that happened on day 18:

The contestants were woken up to Chota Bachcha Jaan Ke

Eh??? Okay.

The ice bucket challenge was brought back

This latest luxury budget task was Ssshh! Bachha Jag Jaayega, which meant that the contestants had to watch one person go through lots of pain without saying anything. Digangana had to sit through five buckets of ice water being thrown on her head, which we know can’t be easy at all, but like… weren’t we done with ice bucket challenges some time last year?

Suyyash got waxed

Yeah, I just watched a grown man get his legs waxed on national television. What are you doing with your life?

Keith got his ass kicked… literally

Keith was made to receive several kicks to his posterior as part of his task. Unlike the previous tasks, where the contestants genuinely seemed to feel the person’s pain, everyone really just wanted to laugh this time. But seriously, what the hell is that ass-kicking contraption and where can I get one?

Rimi Sen had this gem

Rimi was bonding with the other girls and talking about kids and marriage, which was when she was asked how long her longest relationship lasted. She dropped this little gem: “Mera sab kuch lamba hai.” Alrighty then, we’ll take her word for it!

People made out

I don’t know how you can make out with a bazillion (I may be exaggerating a little) cameras surrounding you, but then again, it’s also weird to imagine couples being under the same roof for that long and not, uh, interacting with each other. It seems like Keith/Rochelle and Suyyash/Kishwer had the same idea, ’cause they went for it. See more photos here.
