I’m going to take another second to take in the fact that Bigg Boss has reached a level where it needs a real-fake wedding inside the house to keep our interest going. Ok, now with that said, let’s move on. We’re still watching the show because it’s the show’s last week and with finale just around the corner, more drama can surely be expected.
Lopa tells Rohan, Manu and Manveer quite confidently that Bani doesn’t stand a chance in front of her in the finale. On the other hand, Manu and Manveer poke fun at Rohan and they seem confident that he’ll be out in the mid-week eviction. But I have a strong feeling about Bani and Rohan.
Later in the day, Bigg Boss asks Manveer, Lopa, Bani and Rohan to gather in front of the finale room adjoining the garden area. Manu is asked to stay back and wait for instructions. As Lopa, Bani, Rohan and Manveer enter the finale room, they are made to sit in front of a LED screen and are asked to evaluate their performance on the show.
Basis all their pros and cons, they have to draw a conclusion as to which contestant will get eliminated from the grand finale run and in what particular order. After they decide the order, contestants have to leave the finale room in that particular sequence as and when the signature tune of the show rings.
Once Lopa, Rohan, Bani and Manveer go inside the finale room, Bigg Boss calls Manu in the confession room and asks him to guess the sequence that the other 4 contestants will decide upon. Bigg Boss also tells us that Manu will have to keep this task a secret as it will help them increase the winning prize amount to Rs 50 lac from the current Rs 43 lac. If Manu’s estimation is correct, a certain amount will get added to the prize money.
Manu draws an estimate that Bani will come out of the room first. At the same time, Rohan and Lopa target Bani and instigate her to leave the room. Lopa says that Bani deserves to go out because she has never contributed to any task and has always given up easily on everything.
Rohan responds in affirmation and says that her impulsive behavior has seldom got the housemates in trouble and she has never been apologetic about it. In her defense, Bani says that even Lopa and Rohan have also been unsuccessful in completing tasks and it will be wrong to attribute all the failures to her. Manveer, on the other hand, says that he will choose Bani over Lopa since she has handled a lot of situations and tasks sensitively and maturely.
But, Lopa and Rohan continue to put Bani down and point out her weaknesses more than her strengths. Bani flips out and snaps at them, again! She says that they cannot make her a soft target every time and call her names. Bani bangs the door and leaves the room, she just can’t take it anymore. She comes out crying and whining about how Lopa and Rohan repeatedly scorn her by making baseless allegations.
But Manu has a smile on his face. Bigg Boss congratulates him for making the right estimate and adds Rs 1 lac to the final prize money. Then he asks Bani to join Manu in the guessing game for an additional Rs 3 lac to the total prize money.
The stakes are high and Sunday is just around the corner. Who are you betting your money on?
