The 50 Episode 17 Highlights: Wild Card Comebacks, Disc Arena Showdown and a Heated Post-Win Fallout

Day 17 inside the Palace brings shocking wild card re-entries, a high-pressure Arena disc challenge, and explosive post-victory confrontations. Emotional breakdowns, team betrayals, and danger zone twists raise the stakes like never before. The 50 is streaming on JioHotstar and airing on Colors TV.

Wild Card Twist Before Dare No Dare
Before the Dare No Dare begins, the Lion announces that each team must pick one returning contestant — Khanzadi, Arushi, Urvashi Dholakia and Tejaswi re-enter the Palace. Arushi questions Prince about her elimination, but Ridhi and Yuvika refuse to support his defence, while Urvashi calls out the lack of unity among TV stars and Tejaswi urges the women to stand together. Team picks are sealed — Urvashi joins Arbaaz’s team, Tejaswi joins Shiv’s team, Khanzadi joins Sidharth’s team, and after hesitation from Prince’s team, Arushi ultimately lands with Prince. The Lion sets the condition: if their team wins, the explayer re-enters the Mahal; if they lose, her exit is final.

Arena Game: Disc Challenge
● Each team stands around a giant disc with 8 ropes, held by 8 players from different ends.
● Players go one by one to pick letter blocks and build their teammates’ names in a tower format.
● Every completed name must be sealed with a Lion block on top — without it, the name is invalid.
● Teams must complete 8 current players’ names plus their ex-player’s name.
● The first two teams to finish secure re-entry for their returning contestant into the Mahal.

Arena Results: Victory, Drama & Emotional Fallout
Team Prince and Team Arbaaz win the Arena task, bringing Arushi and Urvashi back into the Mahal, while Khanzadi and Tejaswi receive an exit order. The victory is followed by tension as Nikki confronts Arbaaz for not celebrating with her, leading to a heated argument where he accuses her of always fighting. An emotional Nikki later tells Divya she even fought with her family for him, but feels hurt by his behaviour. Meanwhile, a casual remark by Tejaswi and Nehal about Monalisa’s long name slowing the task turns into a sharp argument, leaving Monalisa visibly frustrated.

Elimination Drama: Alliances Form, One Exit Sealed
As voting begins, Arbaaz, Faiz and Digvijay strategise to save Adnan, Faisu and Rajat. Sensing the shift in numbers, Bebika grows emotional in the danger zone, fearing she could be the one heading home. On the other side, Divya, Urvashi, Nehal and Krishna form an alliance, believing women are often the easy targets during eliminations and vowing to protect each other. When voting concludes, Bebika receives the exit order and bids farewell to the Palace.
