Bigg Boss 16 December 19, 2022 LIVE Highlights: Sreejita and Stan join Soundarya as the new captains

Day 79 of the Bigg Boss house saw yet another shake up when it came to captains. The supreme had a quirky office themed task in store for the housemates, and as always, it led to chaos. The house also witnessed its fair share of arguments as well.

Here’s all that happened:

As Abdu is not there, Bigg Boss gives the housemates a office themed task. There are cubicles and bosses. Soundarya and Vikkas, the reigning captains, are chosen as bosses, who are given the freedom to throw people out of the captaincy race. The people in the cubicles are asked to phone the bosses and give reasons as to not pick their fellow housemates for captains.

As Vikkas and Soundarya discuss, Bigg Boss advises them that they can make use of their own judgement, rather than go by only the phone calls. Bigg Boss sternly advises them yet again. The two argue over who to kick out, especially Archana and Stan. Tina jokes around with Ankit, while Shalin sits nearby.
