Tasks | Nomination Task
The garden area was turned into a village called BBpur having separate houses for each contestant except Shiv. All the housemates were sorted in their houses while Shiv was sorted in the glass room. Every house had a bulb in them while electric fuses of the houses were under Shiv's control which referred the housemates to be safe from nomination. Shiv was asked to cut seven electric lines to nominate them. The contestants with lit bulbs will be safe from nomination.
After Shiv's nomination, it was revealed that 4 contestants chosen by the spinning wheel would get the power to swap one safe contestant with one nominated contestant.
