Rope chaos, a Fox Golf Showdown & Wildcard Surprises: The 50 Episode 34 Highlights

Episode 34 of The 50 on JioHotstar and airing on Colors delivered a high-stakes golf game against the Fox, a chaotic untangling challenge, and two wildcard returns that split the house right down the middle. Here’s everything that went down.

Lakshay Unsafe and Arguing His Case
The episode picks up right where the last one left off. The Lion calls out Lakshay Kaushik, who sat on the chair last, declaring him unsafe. Lakshay pushes back; he only got up because Rajat Dalal had a hand injury and had to hand over his captaincy. The Lion isn’t moved. Lakshay is declared unsafe. The Lion then turns to Nehal, who chose to go last in the previous round. She explains she’d rather sacrifice herself than anyone from her team. The unsafe players from each team are as follows: Nehal and Urvashi, Ridhima from Arbaaz’s team, and Lakshay and Shiny from Lakshay’s team and No One from Arushi’s team.

Ridhima and Shiny Feel Sidelined
Ridhima Pandit voices what’s been building as they sit in the unsafe room, she doesn’t feel like a priority in Prince’s alliance. Shiny agrees. The two ask Lakshay to convince Rajat and the others to include them. Meanwhile, the whole house is anxious about how to approach the voting round after the chaos of four eliminations last time.

Urvashi Gets to Claim Her Advantage
Urvashi Dholakia cashes in the advantage she won from a dare in the previous episode. Similar to the advantage Prince once used, where he got to see what was happening outside the Mahal, Urvashi gets to see information from inside the Mahal. She watches a replay of the last voting round and pieces together that Rajat and Lovekesh flipped, changing the entire game. The Lion makes it clear that if she stays safe, this information could be very powerful.

The Advantage Battle
From the previous game, Nehal Chudasama’s team had earned an advantage. When all unsafe players are called forward, the question becomes whether the team will give the advantage to Nehal, who is currently unsafe. She believes they should. Rajat disagrees and wins the argument decisively, with 7 out of 10 votes going in his favour. Rajat takes his advantage and uses it to cancel Arushi Chawla’s vote.

Lakshay, Urvashi, Shiny, and Nehal are saved. Ridhima is the last one left and given the exit order.

Dare No Dare: Faisu and Manisha Rani Take on the Fox at Golf
The next day, the Fox descends and makes her way around the house, pausing notably near Shiv before picking Faisu and Manisha Rani.

The game is a golf challenge on a concentric circle board. Their ball is white, the Fox’s is red. The rings are worth ₹10k, ₹25k, half the money pot (gone), an advantage, half the money pot (gone), ₹25k, and ₹10k from the centre outward. If the Fox’s ball lands on the same ring as theirs, they win nothing from
that shot.

The Fox wins the advantage on her first shot. Faisu lands ₹25,000, but the Fox cancels it out with her next shot. Then come two shots that cost the pot ₹10k each. Faisu lands on the advantage circle, neutralising the Fox’s advantage. Manisha then costs the pot ₹25k with her shot, but follows it up with another ₹25k.

Final tally: the Fox dealt ₹80,000 in losses, the pair won back ₹70,000, a net loss of ₹10,000, and they successfully cancelled out the Fox’s advantage, but didn’t win one of their own. Manisha, never one to leave quietly, tells the Lion they deserve the advantage anyway, arguing that unlike others who would have played selfishly, they tried hard to win money for the fans. Karan Patel
and the housemates below urge her to come back down before she pushes the Lion too far.

When Manisha returns, Prince tells her that not everything is a game. The house piles on and she goes into defensive mode but the tension clears quickly, with everyone making it clear they’re not actually angry and that they were just pranking her. Everyone then gathers around to congratulate her on playing well.

Lion Crazy Game: The Great Rope Untangle
Four pairs take on the Lion Crazy Game: Manisha and Archana, Shiny and Vanshaj, Lovekesh and Lakshay, and Arushi and Natalia. A fifth wildcard pair, Shrutika and Digvijay, also joins.
The game: five coloured ropes, all tangled together, with one rope end worn by each pair. They have 15 minutes to detangle their rope completely. The less time used, the more money added to the pot.

It’s a disaster. No pair manages to detangle in 15 minutes; Manisha and Archana actually make things worse. Everyone ends up asking Lion for 5 more minutes. The Lion agrees, but his condition is they would get 5 more minutes only if one pair switches, and Archana and Manisha are swapped out for Kaka and Yuvika. But before Kaka and Yuvika even get to play, Vanshaj and Shiny, and then Lovekesh and Lakshay, finally break free. And the extra 5 minutes are also over. Since the prize was based on
time saved, no money was added to the pot.

Two Wildcards Return
When Shrutika Arjun and Digvijay Rathee walk back into the house as returning wildcards, the reactions couldn’t be more divided. Rajat, Lakshay, Faisu, Arbaaz and their alliance erupt with joy at seeing Digvijay back, a clear ally returning to their side. Shrutika’s return is met with a collective “Why is she back? She’s so loud.” Rajat’s feelings were no secret, but when he came face to face with Shrutika, he was warm and friendly.

Money Pot Total at the End of Tonight’s Episode: ₹24,99,000
