Baba Bhaskar, who entered the show as an underdog, surprised Telugu audience with his sense of humour and positive attitude in Bigg boss Telugu season 3. He gets the support of most of the housemates in any tasks he does. However, he has never become captain. Last week he became one of three contenders for captaincy but lost it to Varun. Today, he won the task and became captain of the house. Before this task, Vitika and Varun got into a quarrel as she complained on him that he is not giving time to her. Baba Bhaskar pacified both of them and told that they need to live together for many more years to come.
Captaincy task:
Housemates elected Sreemukhi, Baba Bhaskar and Himaja as three contenders for the captaincy this week. Bigg boss gave a task for the three contenders. As per the task, each of them will be given three containers. Housemates can fill given sand into those containers and the contenders for captaincy have to protect their containers from being filled with sand. Each of these contenders get one helper. Shilpa is helper to Baba, Ravi to Sreemukhi and Rahul to Himaja. These helpers can throw away the sand poured in to the containers. In this task, finally Baba emerged as winner with the help of Shilpa.
Fighting during Captaincy task:
During the task, there was a fight between Punarnavi and Ali. As most of the members were trying to stop Sreemukhi from becoming captain, he tried to protect Sreemukhi’s container and Punarnavi objected to this saying, as per rules, only helpers can help contenders. Ali argued, there is no rule that he shouldn’t help any housemate he likes. Punarnavi raised voice and Ali retaliated. After the task, she apologized to Ali but he didn’t accept her apology. Punarnavi prolonged the issue by telling Varun that Ali didn’t accept her apology. She tried to provoke Sreemukhi by loudly countering Ali’s comments that most of the housemates targeted Sreemukhi. However, Sreemukhi took it lightly and just ignored her shouting.
Baba Bhaskar’s captaincy:
After becoming captain Baba Bhaskar, told he doesn’t want to be captain. When Rahul and Varun asked the reason, he revealed that Sreemukhi etc told that Baba became only because of Shilpa’s help but not because of his own merit. Baba told Rahul and Varun that he got disappointed with her words.
As per the promo of next episode, Baba seems to be entertaining the housemates even after becoming captain of the house.
