Things are picking up and relationships are being tested inside the Bigg Boss 14 house. As we slowly gear up for the finale week, the contestants are now figuring out whom to support and whom to stand against. With things moving at a rapid pace inside the house, here's a gist of all the good, bad, and ugly things that happened in the sixteenth week. (All Pictures: PR)

The battle between Eijaz and Rubina that began last week was far from over. Eijaz asked her to not tell him what he can and cannot do. As Rubina held her hands up to ask him to remain calm, Eijaz gave her a high-5. That was when Rubina asked Eijaz never to touch her without her permission. Abhinav also stepped in, and asked Eijaz to back off. He told Eijaz to never touch Rubina ever again!

Next, we saw Rakhi Sawant clash with Aly. When Aly asked Sonali about why she was upset, Rakhi jumped in and told Aly that someone had broken her heart. She also alleged that someone had called Sonali names and implied that is was Aly, who flew off the handle. Earlier, too, Rakhi had spoken ill about Aly and Jasmin. Aly took this time to point out that how Rakhi had played the victim card on account of her ‘invisible’ husband. He also said that Rakhi’s affection towards Abhinav was fake. Arshi also jumped in and called Rakhi fake.

Next up we saw Sonali Phogat extremely upset about the housemate who had cut her name in a task. Rubina admitted to doing it and the two had a huge war of words. Rubina accused Sonali of using bad language against her. It took Arshi to calm Sonali down while hubby Abhinav tried to hold back Rubina.

Then, a huge clash broke out between Rubina and Rahul. Rahul alleged that Abhinav did not save Rubina and that he cannot be trusted. Rubina got furious and took on Rahul and said that he should not use anyone’s personal relationships to highlight his performance on the show. The two had to be separated by other contestants as their arguments heated up the house.

Disaster struck the contestants during the special Makar Sankranti Kite task arranged by Bigg Boss, who wasn't pleased with housemates breaking the rules. He gathered the housemates and told them that from now on there will be no more captaincy or immunity tasks. This was a huge blow for all considering immunity and captaincy were privileges that had saved them many times from getting eliminated. Bigg Boss also told them that each and every housemate would have to earn their own ration.

During the Weekend ka Vaar episode, Salman Khan too lashed out at the contestants. The host hit out at Sonali Phogat for using foul language against Rubina and threatening her. As always, Salman Khan corrected Sonali and told her that this was not the right way to go. Salman told Sonali to think about her actions inside the house and make a change for good.

Abhinav was the next one to be questioned. Salman told Abhinav that his support towards his wife Rubina was weak. Salman also reminded him that when Rubina tried to explain things to him, he rudely dismissed her. Salman also told him to not be such a dominating husband but to try and be an understanding human being. It was a very emotional moment between Rubina and Abhinav and even she believed that Abhinav was letting her down.

Next, Salman gave the contestants a chance to name one weakness because of which others had taken their advantage. Arshi was the first one who said that because of her trustworthy nature, Eijaz had taken advantage and had not respected her enough. Eijaz, on his part, said that he overshared his emotions with people and blamed Nikki for taking advantage of that. Aly said that Rakhi and Nikki had taken advantage of him by playing the game on backfoot. He promised that from now on, he will play more aggressively. Rubina said that Eijaz, Rahul, and Sonali had taken undue advantage of her caring nature. Abhinav, on the other hand, said that his quiet attitude has had several housemates take advantage and that now he would start on a new note.

It was now time for celebration and Salman played some of the choicest tracks for the housemates to dance on. Rakhi set the stage on fire as she did a high-energy dance number. Even Salman could not stop himself from dancing. Aly and Sonali danced to Salman’s own hit song, Dhadke Dil Baar Baar. This time, too, Salman broke into his signature step and the housemates tried to imitate the same.

Remember, we had talked about Bigg Boss reprimanding the contestants for breaking rules by putting a stop to captaincy and immunity tasks and warning the contestants that their rations could be taken away if they do not change their actions? So, on Tuesday, as the housemates lounged in the garden area, Bigg Boss locked all doors and sent in a team covered in PPE suits to collect the entire ration from the Bigg Boss House. 

It was a case of ‘as you sow, so shall you reap.’ The housemates were extremely shocked on seeing this. As they stood complaining, Bigg Boss’ team, one-by-one, meticulously removed all the food and luxury items from the house. Everyone was helpless, and the house was eventually cleared up of all the rations.

Next, Bigg Boss dropped another shocker on the housemates. Eijaz Khan, who was the first contestant this season to step in the Bigg Boss house, was asked to leave the house. The housemates were shocked by the news. While Arshi cried profusely, Eijaz, too, got extremely emotional and was in tears.

It was none other than Devoleena Bhattacharjee, our very own Bigg Boss 13 contestant, who then entered the house. Eijaz was ecstatic on seeing Devoleena, who was his friend outside the house.

While the last week was all about heated arguments, accusations, and fights, this week the contestants tried hard to sort their issues.

The highlight of the week was some surprise entries, shocking eliminations, and the growing fight-and-love banter between Abhinav and Rubina.
