Big Boss 20: Mayhem in the Kitchen and Feuds over the Captainship – Who is avoiding their responsibilities and who is framing whom?
The current series of the well-known reality programme Bigg Boss 20 is still extending the limits of social experiments and the interpersonal relationships that take place in the most renowned house on television. The promotional stuff and recent developments from October 7 reveal a surge of tension which has been building for weeks. What at first appears to be a simple dispute about food and dirty dishes has now developed into a full-blown factional conflict, with accusations of betrayal and the implementation of strategies aimed at weakening the present house captain’s authority.
In the thorough review we are giving, we look at the main events of the most recent episode, examine the competitor dynamics, investigate the psychological background of the conflicts concerning basic resources, and consider the possible consequences for the forthcoming nominations.
- Culinary diplomacy: the distribution of food as a way of testing loyalty
Everything began in the kitchen, which is both the geographical and psychological centre of each Bigg Boss house. The preparation of meals, remarks made casually about the portion sizes, and the way the cooked food is distributed frequently act as quiet signs of who holds power.
Attention has now turned to the preparation and presentation of French fries. Although a few of the contestants attempt to keep a friendly atmosphere by sharing food (“Have another bit if you want”, “Put some on your plate”), there is a deep-seated resentment over the unequal sharing of resources. The food in Bigg Boss is never simply food; it is a basic means of forming alliances and negotiating deals. Those who have control of the kitchen generally try to force their schedule on the others, which in turn leads to a negative reaction among people who feel ignored or treated unfairly.
- The Conflict over Soiled Plates and ‘The Garden Incident’
The main storyline of this day’s episode developed when the problem of carelessly getting rid of used cutlery came up, the question ‘Who left the dirty plates?’ then becoming a full-blown detective investigation within the house.
There is no physical evidence to show that the plates actually belong to those particular contestants (since names such as Yang, Scout, and Aman were mentioned in the accusations).
Either a confession or an excuse: some of the housemates say that certain contestants admitted their guilt, while others maintain that these are malicious rumours intended for the purpose of publicly bringing discredit upon particular individuals.
The contestants’ radical reactions reached their height when a provocative suggestion was put forward—which was to remove all the soiled dishes from the house and then arrange them publicly in the garden (courtyard) as a symbolic representation of disorder and individual irresponsibility. Once such public shaming has taken place within the house, deep divisions are created which are hard to overcome.
- Betrayal amongst friends: the captain, the informers, and the house code
Each season of Bigg Boss has its unspoken rules and what is known as the ‘street code’ amongst the contestants. One of the most important of these rules is that any issues should be settled directly and not reported to the captain or the production team.
However, in this episode, we witness a direct violation of that rule:
The role of the captain is to be responsible for keeping order and discipline, as well as having the authority to punish breaches of rules. A considerable shift in the distribution of power takes place when the contestants begin to report each other to the captain.
The charge of “snitching on your fellow housemates” led to one of the most intense arguments when the contestants accused a member of their group of behaving in a shameless and disgraceful manner by going to the captain to inform on his friends and supporters. Phrases such as “Since when have you started complaining and reporting other people?” and “You’re reporting your own brothers” clearly show the extent of the betrayal.
Scout was subjected to pressure: apart from the problem with the dishware, everyday tasks like the uncollected tissues and the small amount of trash also drew criticism. It showed that the opposition within the house doesn’t pardon even the tiniest mistakes.
- A psychological analysis of why it is the smallest tasks that lead to the greatest disagreements
It is common for viewers to ask why the contestants on reality shows such as Bigg Boss react so strongly to things which appear harmless in ordinary life, for example an unwashed plate or a forgotten tissue. The reason for this lies in the isolated circumstances in which they find themselves:
When people are cut off from the outside world, including their phones, family, and all information, their attention becomes entirely focused on their immediate surroundings.
Stress builds up: minor annoyances are not settled by simply staying away from the situation; instead, they accumulate from day to day. A dirty plate becomes a trigger for all the earlier unresolved grievances and repressed frustrations.
The Struggle for Domination: failing to clean or on purpose making a mess is often a passive-aggressive method used by the contestants to express their resistance towards the captain or the dominant group in the house.
- What Shall We Expect in the Upcoming Episodes?
The conflicts highlighted in today’s promo clearly suggest that the Bigg Boss 20 house is divided into two solid camps:
The group known as the Camp of Order and Rules consists of the people who back the captain and insist on strict discipline and penalties being imposed upon the irresponsible.
The Camp of the Rebels consists of people who regard obeying the captain as an act of treachery and who see minor duties as political tools employed to get rid of strong players.
The nominations to come will reveal which contestants were able to gain an advantage from the situation. Will the damaged relations concerning hygiene and food have cost Scout and his allies their survival in the house, or will the audience instead reward their resistance towards the “snitches”? One thing is certain – the tensions in Bigg Boss 20 are now at their peak.
