The race for captaincy in the Bigg Boss 19 house got intense during a garden challenge. The area was set up like a pirate ship, and Amaal Mallik was the sanchalak. He kept an eye on the task and controlled the chaos.
Bigg Boss split the contestants into two teams:
Team A had Baseer Ali, Gaurav Khanna, Farhana Bhatt, Awez Darbar, Pranit More, Nehal Chudasama and Kunickaa Sadanand.
Team B included Abhishek Bajaj, Ashnoor Kaur, Tanya Mittal, Zeishan Quadri, Amaal Mallik, Shehbaz Badesha, and Neelam Giri.
The goal was to collect gold coins, carry sacks, protect their stash, and sometimes steal from the other team. This task started with a women’s round. Team A sent Farhana, Nehal, and Kunickaa, while Team B chose Ashnoor, Tanya, and Neelam.
Amaal Mallik Warns Aggressive Abhishek As He Pushes Awez
As seen in the promo, the boys’ round became heated when Abhishek pushed Awez while saving his coins. Awez warned him by saying, “Tum log ko aggression dikhana hai toh main dikhata hoon,” and pushed him back. Amaal stepped in and told Abhishek to stop, but he refused, saying, “Meri Marzi.” Amaal then warned, “Mere saath mat bhid.”

Abhishek Bajaj Becomes New Captain Of Bigg Boss 19?
According to the live feed, another challenge tested their speed and strategy using a cheese block with multiple head openings. Before each round, a non-contender blocked one opening. Contestants who couldn’t find a spot were eliminated. Kunickaa was the sanchalak for this game, which had seven rounds:
Round 1: Neelam eliminated by Gaurav
Round 2: Zeishan eliminated by Nehal
Round 3: Tanya eliminated by Farhana
Round 4: Shehbaaz eliminated by Baseer
Round 5: Mridul eliminated by Pranit
Round 6: Ashnoor eliminated by Awez
Round 7: Amaal eliminated by Nehal
After all rounds, Abhishek Bajaj was the last contender left and became the new captain of the house.
Earlier in the recent episode, Bigg Boss caught housemates discussing nominations in the Democracy Room. This was against the rules, so the entire house was nominated for eviction. Each contestant could save two others, except Amaal. After voting, the final nominees were Nehal Chudasama, Ashnoor Kaur, Pranit More, Baseer Ali, and Abhishek Bajaj.
