Bigg Boss 11: Why Vikas Gupta getting a secret task is not going down well with viewers

While Thursday’s episode was a tear-jerker - the housemates could finally meet their parents and friends after two days of emotional turbulence - the preview of December 29’s episode, which shows Vikas Gupta being given a secret task, has triggered a buzz on social media with everybody speculating if Vikas, indeed, is the "fixed" winner of Bigg Boss 11. Why? Because the secret phone task has a "historic" precedent.

Here are the major takeaways:

All contestants meet their guests

According to the rules initially announced, the winner or the winners of the “luxury budget task” would get to meet their guests. There were three rounds of the contest. Shilpa won the cooking round, Hina won the comedy one and Luv won the “emotional” game - a task that involved sending gifts to the guests who would have to choose the "best gift" in consensus.

It became impossible to choose, not because the mothers were fighting; everyone became emotional after they received their personalised gifts from the housemates. They told Bigg Boss that it would not be possible for them to select any one. Bigg Boss nullified the scores and allowed everybody to meet their guests.

Akash’s mother has tips for him

“Don’t play for anyone else. Don’t make deals with anyone. Don’t believe anyone here. It’s time to play an individual game,” Akash’s mother told him, which he later shared with Shilpa and Puneesh. The trio also seemed to have zeroed in on a new strategy. They will play individually first. But if it doesn’t work, then they will have each other's back.

This captaincy is ticket to final

Initially, it was announced that the “budget task” will have some bearing on the captaincy task as well. But as no one could be declared winner of the budget task, there would have to be another round of tasks to select the captain. “This week’s captaincy is very vital,” Akash was heard saying. The finale of Bigg Boss 11 is likely to be aired on January 14, 2018. If that’s true, then the next captain (immune to eviction) will reach straight to the final.

Didn’t Manveer Gurjar, too, get a secret phone task?

From the very beginning, this season has been too generous to Vikas Gupta and Shilpa Shinde. While Shilpa has never been scolded by host Salman Khan at "Weekend ka Vaar", Vikas went scot-free even after assaulting Akash Dadlani. 

The preview of today’s episode shows Vikas would be given a secret task. He would be asked to do some outrageous works which will throw the rest of the housemates in a tizzy as they would not understand the reason behind Vikas’ sudden outrage.

A similar task was given to Bigg Boss 10 winner Manveer Gurjar last year. Drawing a parallel with Manveer, fans just couldn't stop slamming the show on Twitter for scripting a victory for Vikas.
