We are five weeks down on Bigg Boss 12 and with the wild card entries that took place couple of days back, the other housemates are upping their game to make sure that they go a long way on the show. Becoming the captain of the house is one way to get ahead in the game and it guarantees immunity from the nominations. So no wonder the housemates have become aggressive and are desperate to be the next captain. Last night we saw  Deepak Thakur's obsession with captaincy. The way he was performing the luxury budget task, BB Poultry Farm was proof that he is wanting to be the captain by hook or by crook. And turns out he has been successful as he, wild card contestant Megha Dhade and Saba Khan have won the luxury budget task. This means that three of them will compete with each other to be the next captain of the Bigg Boss house.

Now there is a bit of a problem for Saba. You remember that physical fight between Saba and Srishty Rode some days back? During the captaincy task last to last week, Saba pushed Srishty aggressively and in return Saba was about to punch her if Dipika Kakar didn't separate them. Bigg Boss punished Srishty and Saba for their actions and announced that they won't get to be the captains till the time they are in the house. So after Saba won the latest luxury budget task, she was given an option to pass on the opportunity to contend for the captaincy to other contestant, and she of course gave it to Somi. Bigg Boss 12: Shocking!

Now coming to what these three have to do to be the captain.  They have to get the other housemates to drink karela (bitter-gourd) juice for them. Whoever between these three is able to get the maximum number of housemates to do this for them, wins, and becomes the next captain of the Bigg Boss house. Bigg Boss 12: Sreesanth And Dipika Kakar Betray Karanvir Bohra, Is This The End Of Their Friendship?

It's an interesting task, we have to admit. So will Deepak finally be able to convince the maximum number of his co-contestants to do this? Will he finally get to be the new captain on Bigg Boss 12? We can't wait to know. Stay tuned as we bring you all the latest update on this one.
