Bigg
Boss
8
will
have
a
battle
between
Upen
Patel
and
Gautam
Gulati
to
win
captaincy
in
the
house.
See
photos
and
details.
No
battle
plan
survives
contact
with
the
enemy.
Taking
this
thought
forward
the
unpredictable
house
of
Bigg
Boss
started
a
brand
new
morning
with
a
classic
80's
number,
‘Aaj
Na
Chodunga
Tujhe'
which
set
the
tone
for
the
day.
During
the
day,
Bigg
Boss
announced
new
captaincy
elections
and
asked
the
housemates
to
volunteer
their
names
with
legitimate
reasons.
Gautam
was
the
first
one
to
volunteer,
hence
becoming
the
first
contender
to
compete
in
the
race
to
become
the
next
captain
of
the
house.
Other
housemates
had
to
then
decide
on
one
contender
who
will
stand
up
against
Gautam.
Upen
was
selected
with
group
consensus.
Race
for
Captaincy
task
named,
"Aaj
Na
Chodunga
Tujhe" is
launched
with
Upen
and
Gautam
competing
against
each
other.
The
task
required
both
the
contenders
to
choose
two
partners
of
their
choice
who
will
support
them
in
the
task.
Upen
selects
Aarya
and
Ali
while
Gautam
selects
Puneet
and
Pritam.
On
the
battle
ground,
both
Upen
and
Gautam
are
supposed
to
hold
one
black
pole
each,
given
to
them,
while
the
selected
partners
would
try
to
detach
the
opposite
contender
from
the
pole
and
drag
him
towards
the
given
white
line.
The
person
who
will
be
dragged
towards
the
white
line
first,
will
lose.
Before
the
task
starts,
Diandra,
Praneet
and
Karishma
were
seen
trying
to
manipulate
Pritam
so
that
he
supports
Upen's
team.
When
Pritam
asks
Praneet
as
to
what
he
should
do,
Praneet
tells
him
that
he
knows
Gautam
is
negative.
During
the
task,
it
takes
Ali
and
Aarya
just
a
few
seconds
to
drag
Gautam
to
the
white
line.
Puneet
is
nervous
to
use
his
physical
strength
due
to
his
previous
tiff
where
he
had
hurt
Gautam
physically.
As
a
result
Upen
wins
the
task
and
is
announced
as
the
new
captain
of
the
house.
A
back
stabbed
Gautam
is
seen
talking
to
himself
post
the
task
as
to
how
Puneet
could
have
done
better
but
due
to
his
fear
of
using
his
strength
he
did
not
perform
well,
little
knowing
that
Puneet
did
what
he
did
deliberately.
Puneet
is
later
seen
telling
his
co-contestants
that
he
did
not
play
loyally
with
Gautam
as
he
wanted
Upen
to
become
the
captain.
Gautam
is
later
seen
confronting
Puneet
and
Pritam
about
what
had
happened
during
the
task.
Puneet
admits
to
Gautam
that
he
could
have
done
better
but
he
didn't
and
therefore
is
guilty
about
it,
smoothly
getting
away
with
the
betrayal.
Upen
then
gathers
all
the
housemates
in
the
living
area
to
discuss
and
reshuffle
the
house
duties
for
the
coming
week
letting
people
volunteer
themselves
as
to
what
they
will
be
comfortable
doing,
promising
a
peaceful
and
happy
week
ahead.
Will
Upen
be
able
to
lead
the
housemates
appropriately
or
no?
Only
time
will
tell.
