With the Bigg Boss finale fast approaching, the temperature inside the house has heated up. We now get to see more fights, more romance, and more drama. Here's what happened in the seventeenth week of Bigg Boss 14. (All images: PR)

We have all heard of 'roti, kapda, aur makaan' as the basic needs of life. While the Bigg Boss housemates had access to kapda and makaan, roti almost always becomes the reason the contestants tear each other apart through words. A hungry Sonali Phogat made a roti for herself that caught Arshi’s attention, sparking a fight between the duo. While Sonali felt targeted, Arshi screamed at her for not using the limited ration wisely, ultimately creating a problem for everyone in the house. Sonali Phogat offered her breakfast paratha in exchange, which further fumed Arshi. So much so that the fight heated up and Sonali ended up throwing her leftover parathas in the dustbin. 

Taken aback by Sonali’s actions, Arshi rushed to Nikki and Rubina to tell them about Sonali’s behaviour. Shocked, amazed and angry, Rubina and Nikki bashed Sonali and held her responsible for her actions. Rubina screamed at her for not realising the importance of each morsel inside the house, and Nikki ended up tagging her as a 'dumb head'. 

Hurt and disgusted about being insulted, Sonali broke down and asked Bigg Boss to let her out of the house. Unaffected by her behaviour, her co-contestants believed that this was only a drama to gain sympathy.

Bigg Boss then announced the weekly task to satisfy their hunger since their ration was limited and restricted only to essential items. So, when given a chance to have some fresh, personalised coffee supply till the end of their journey for 100 units, the housemates were ready to pay any price.

To avoid what happened the last time when the housemates were given desserts and everyone rushed inside the house, Aly decided to stand against the door and block people from entering. While Rakhi Sawant was furious that she was not allowed to enter and get coffee, Aly stood strong, refusing to move.

Arshi and Rakhi also got into an altercation over desserts. Aly and Rahul blamed Rubina for not stopping Nikki. While the other housemates had not consumed the desserts, Nikki ate hers.

Devoleena was irritated and upset about this and screamed at Nikki for putting the entire house's rations at risk. An unfazed Nikki shouted back at Devoleena and said that she didn't care about it. In fact, she acted extremely casual and spent time inside the house while the others were locked outside. Her own teammate Aly was unhappy with her actions. Nikki even teased Devoleena, which further infuriated her. Their on-going feud didn't seem to end quickly. The two, who were once friends, now entered into a ferocious fighting match and were at each other’s throats.

Next, Bigg Boss threw in a surprise for the contestants by arranging a special BB Press Conference where they were grilled by the media. First to go up was Rahul and Rubina. Rahul was asked why he chose to only fight with Rubina over non-issues. He was also asked why he chose to stay silent when his friend Aly would bully others when he had constantly claimed that Rubina is a bully. Rubina too was not spared and was questioned on supporting Nikki when she misbehaved in the house. She was also asked whether the issues between her and hubby Abhinav were real or fake.

Arshi and Vikas were next, and Arshi was asked whether she was forgetting to mind her own manners, considering she claimed that other housemates were mannerless. Her harsh attitude towards Vikas and Rakhi was getting questioned. Vikas was interrogated about his nature of sharing outside information and using it to influence others inside the house.

Aly, who considered Rubina as a friend, had to answer why he supported Rahul over Rubina in a recent tussle. Aly also questioned about badmouthing Rubina and Abhinav behind their backs to which Aly completely disagreed.

On Wednesday, we saw some crazy stuff inside the house. Rakhi was seen relentlessly pursuing Abhinav, which irritated Rubina, who eventually tells Rakhi to back off. Angered at this, Rakhi writes about her feelings for Abhinav all over her body.

Vikas told her that it was looking bad, but Rakhi wasn't willing to listen, and termed it her 'Crazy Love'. Even Arshi warned her that she was alienating Rubina and Abhinav by pulling such stunts. But even after the continuous efforts of Vikas and Arshi, Rakhi chased Abhinav to the washroom.

Next, we saw a major clash between Rakhi and Rubina. Rubina, who was on Kitchen Duty, got irked by this. She felt that Rakhi was doing it only to show that Rubina was shying away from her kitchen duties. Rubina asked Rakhi to back off as she felt that Rakhi was trying to show her as a lazy housemate. 

Rakhi retaliated by saying that Rubina was just trying to find ways to pick fights and that she began cooking lunch in good faith. Rubina retaliated and said that Rakhi should look at doing her own work and not to enter her domain.

Just as things seemed like they were are about to settle, the house and the housemates unleashed a storm of entertainment and drama. Keep watching this space for the latest and spiciest updates inside of Bigg Boss 14.
