Housemates wake up to Love You Raja from the 90’s and guess who is one of the earliest to wake up and shake a booty? Yup, Mona darling, of course. It’s almost as if she was waiting to jump out of the blanket and do her (only) daily chore – morning dance. Joining her on the dance floor is Swami ji, who is ticking off items on his bucket list at lightening speed, especially in the ongoing Raja–Rank task, where he plays the Raja.
Swami ji goes and sits on the throne within minutes of waking up, because his character demands method acting. Must be in character, always. Housemates start their routine chores and prep for the task etc, when suddenly our kid, Rohan (Oh sorry, he is 27!) hits Bani J on her waist with a knife. It was a careless mistake on Rohan’s part because it is dangerous to play with sharp objects without adult supervision (Oops again, he is 27!).
Bani gets hurt on her waist and bleeds quite a bit. She asks the worried housemates surrounding her to leave her alone to fix Rohan’s stupidity. While Bani hardly cries in pain, Rohan is shedding tears of guilt. Even Bigg Boss reproaches him for the act, though Bani forgives him, knowing it was a mistake.
BUT, Baba ji wants Bigg Boss to chuck him out of the house because unki “jaan ko khatra hai”. WTF, dude? Meanwhile, Rohan is still feeling guilty and crying in his bed/under the blanket/everywhere else, when Lopa asks him to snap out of it as it genuinely a mistake. “Stop being a puppy”, she said. I’m really feeling Lopa.
***Knife stabbing episode over***
Somewhere around this time, Nitibha and Lopa get into an argument and Manu tells Lopa to be at the forefront in the task as Nitibha is worthlessly trying to get some footage. He also tells Lopa that Nitibha considers her to be a rival. #Yay #TeamSpirit.
Moving on to the task, the praja decides to do their Raja‘s Abhishek (a cleansing ritual of sorts).
Step 1: Swami ji jumps into the pool for an elaborate snaan (bath).
Step 2: Further, Swami ji is bathed in milk. As he ticks off items on his bucket list, the housemates are clearly having a jolly good time at the former’s expense.
Step 3: Swami ji sets foot in the jacuzzi for the final step of his Abhishek.
Swami ji is on top of the world and I feel so honoured to witness his Rajya Abhishek. I can die peacefully now.
The rest of the episode progresses with celebs successfully completing their secret task and thereby winning it, whereas the Indiawale are completely unaware of falling prey. My favourite pappu moment was Bani when convinces Nitibha to draw red hearts on her face and the latter gladly agrees because – Hearts on face is equivalent to being Dilon ki Rani (Queen of hearts). Waow!
Such logic. Much amaze!
The episode tonight was a giggle fit (mainly because of Swami ji’s royal bath), so much so that the constant bickering and Manveer, none bothered me.
Coming to the ugly part, Swami ji, who usually reaches the highest level of exaggeration due to his desperate measures, calls Lokesh charitraheen (characterless). Not exactly sure why, because my level of intellect is nowhere around the wise old man’s. But I guess it had something to do with her entering the pool.
Bruh, you cray?
Guess who is the only woman to take a stand? Nah, not #BadassBani! Lopa confronted Swami ji about his reckless statements about Lokesh and gives him a piece of her mind for the same. Told you, really feeling Lopa!
Also, Lopa and Nitibha have been on the edge of an argument all throughout the episode and the ladies pick up a fight on the most trivial matters innumerable times. For instance, Nitibha loses her cool when she did not get her food on time. Lopa retorts saying she is not a “machine” and will do her chores as per her convenience.
Quick, get the popcorn! Cat fight ride ahead.
Later, I am really confused because Nitibha gives Lopa a massage, making faces behind her back. Frenemies, then? Or just screw that shit.
Lastly, Swami ji starts packing his bags because he is confident about going to the jail because he is aware of his team’s unity and knows that he will be blamed for screwing up the task. They are already fighting amongst each and blaming one another about losing the task.
Tsk-tsk!
P.S- I really expect Karan Mehra and Rahul Dev to pull up their socks.
Kbye!
