Why it matters
The house needs a new captain after Arishfa’s removal. If the reported ban is confirmed, ScoutOP would be out of the running for the role for the rest of the season.
Why Arishfa lost the captaincy
Arishfa Khan had a day left as captain on Bigg Boss 20 when the show removed her. She had won the job in a house vote a few episodes earlier. Several housemates had been sleeping during the day despite warnings, and the show cut the house’s rations, according to Leisurebyte’s recap. The task to choose her successor ended in a clash between ScoutOP and Yung DSA.
The Bigg Boss 20 captaincy task
In one round, the contestants had to make Uditi Singh cry. ABP Live, citing a fan account, reported that Scout singed the corner of a family photograph to upset her. Yung and Gullu interrupted him, and Bigg Boss stopped the task after Scout pushed Yung. JioHotstar’s promo caption drew on the pair’s friendship: “Kal tak jo best buddies the, aaj ek doosre ke saamne khade hain!”
What the reports say about Scout’s penalty
Deccan Chronicle said it could not confirm reports from fan accounts that Scout would stay nominated for the rest of the season and would be barred from future captaincy tasks. Two questions remain going into Friday’s episode. Who replaces Arishfa, and can Scout still compete for captain?
