Yung Enters Captaincy Race After Food Dispute and Dolly Doll Task

The October 1 Bigg Boss 20 episode moved from Mahhi Vij’s food grievance with Mary Kom into a captaincy task where Love Gill repeatedly controlled rounds, before Yung, Mahhi and Uditi removed Rhiti from the contender pool.

Mahhi’s Food Issue Comes First

The most consequential confirmed shift on October 1 was Yung securing a place in the captaincy race after Love Gill’s task decisions and later instructions from Mahhi Vij and Uditi. Before the task, however, the house was already unsettled by a food dispute that had become personal for Mahhi.

Mary Kom first told Amrapali and Love that she felt Mahhi and Uditi were not behaving normally with her after earlier issues. Amrapali’s response was practical: if they were speaking to Mary normally, she could not simply shut them out. That conversation set up the day’s bigger conflict, because Mahhi later told Aman that Mary’s food distribution had hurt her deeply.

Mahhi linked the issue to her childhood and said unequal portions reminded her of difficult times. She also shared that she came from a lower-middle-class background and had not even been to a restaurant. The complaint then moved beyond private hurt. Mahhi said Mary was not cooking with the right intention, decided she would make her own food, and the ration discussion eventually led to a direct verbal argument between Mahhi and Mary.

Old Frictions Stay Alive

Elsewhere, Rhiti discussed Arishfa Khan with Kanika and Gullu, saying she felt Arishfa was trying to create an issue with her. Rhiti also commented on Arishfa’s voice, while Kanika noted that Arishfa had already resolved problems with several people. The exchange showed that earlier settlements had not made everyone comfortable.

The captaincy race was also being discussed before the task began. Amrapali told Gullu she would support Yung, ScoutOP or Aasif Khan if any of them became a contender, and would support Gullu if the choice narrowed to Aman and Qazi. Gullu separately told Kanika he could not support Mahhi. Arishfa also brought up Gullu’s old reel while speaking to Aman, saying she disliked him because she believed he had mocked someone who had died.

Arishfa and Gullu Clash

The house then returned to food-adjacent tensions when Gullu learned that Arishfa had complained within her group about Kanika putting extra ghee on his roti. That triggered another argument. Gullu made comments about Arishfa, and she objected, asking him not to comment on anyone’s profession.

Mahhi’s equation with Uditi also remained uneasy. Mahhi told Qazi that she felt Uditi was not showing her real personality and mostly spoke with Aman. Uditi later told Mahhi directly that she felt Mahhi did not like her. Mahhi answered that this was only Uditi’s prediction, leaving the discomfort unresolved rather than repaired.

Dolly Doll Task Changes the Game

Bigg Boss then announced the captaincy task. Dolly Doll had to choose a captaincy contender from the remaining contenders. A female housemate would become Dolly’s voice, giving instructions to male housemates, while Mary Kom served as the task’s dictator. In each round, the female lead could also choose a male contestant’s miniature to break if she did not want him to continue in the race.

Before the task began, Qazi and Aasif joked about whether the women might give embarrassing instructions. Once the task started, Love took control of the first round and instructed Qazi. After he followed her orders, she said she did not want him to become captain and had him break his own miniature.

Love Keeps the Mic

Love again got the mic in the second round and asked Gullu to propose to her. He completed the instruction, and she then asked him to break Aman’s miniature. Amrapali also asked Love to save ScoutOP during the task.

When Love got another chance in the third round, Arishfa was unhappy that Love was repeatedly controlling the game and said the task was becoming boring. The reports differ on how the microphone moment unfolded: Tellybuzz24 says Arishfa asked Love for the mic, while Tellyreviews says Love asked Arishfa to take it. What both accounts support is that Arishfa wanted a turn and said she would win and handle the task herself. Love then asked Yung to break Gullu’s miniature. Later, Arishfa instructed ScoutOP to do his makeup, but ScoutOP initially refused. Qazi felt Arishfa’s instruction made it look as if she was playing for another group.

Rhiti Is Removed From Contention

By the end of the task, Love saved Yung. Yung followed decisions from Uditi and Mahhi and secured a captaincy contender spot. Bigg Boss then gave Yung, Mahhi and Uditi another responsibility: they had to decide which person to remove from the nominated contenders.

After discussing names, the three agreed on Rhiti. The confirmed consequence was limited to the captaincy race: Rhiti was removed from the nominated contender pool, not evicted from the show. Given the earlier unease around Rhiti, Arishfa and the broader food dispute, the decision added pressure to already strained equations without confirming what any later fallout would be.
