The 50 Day 3 highlights: Arbaz's cheating irks all, Prince slams influencers
The 50 turned chaotic on day 3 as Arbaz Patel faced cheating accusations during the card task. Meanwhile, Prince Narula and Yuvika Chaudhary sparked an actors-influencers clash with their sharp remarks.
Chaos broke out in The 50 during the card task when Arbaz Patel was accused of grabbing extra cards. As tensions rose, the Lion changed the rules for the final round, announcing that only contestants who received face cards directly from him would qualify.
Emotions ran high when Khanzadi broke down, saying her poor eyesight made it hard to spot cards. Arya also lashed out after losing her shot at immunity when the hammer meant to protect her ended up with Nikki Tamboli.
By the end, 11 contestants, including Faiz Baloch, Arya Jadhav, Bebika Dhurve, Tejaswi Madiwada, Sapna Chaudhary, and Khanzadi, were marked unsafe. The episode also highlighted a growing clash between influencers and actors. Check out everything that happened in the latest episode of The 50:
Arbaz’s multiple card grab
Arguments flared almost immediately at the start of the task. Arbaz collected extra cards and handed them to Faiz and Adnan Shaikh - a decision that quickly drew Sapna’s attention. She directly challenged Arbaz about his actions. The disagreement escalated, drawing in additional participants and setting off a rapid-fire exchange.
Last-minute face card twist
As debate mounted, the Lion unveiled an abrupt alteration for the last round. Only those he personally provided with face cards would move forward. This unexpected shift forced everyone to rethink their strategies. Contestants hustled to secure their standing as unpredictability spiked, leaving the Palace in suspense.
Promises falter, emotions spill
Frustration peaked when Khanzadi was visibly upset, explaining her difficulty in spotting cards due to poor distance vision. She described disappointment that Shiv Thakre and Faisu, who had offered their help, did not follow through. Meanwhile, Arya’s hope of immunity was dashed as the hammer that was meant to safeguard her ended up with Nikki instead.
Khanzadi penalised after card reversal
While Khanzadi eventually secured a face card, the relief was brief. The Lion inspected the card and declared it invalid, saying Rajat Dalal cheated to help her get the card. She was then sent straight to the unsafe zone, an outcome that unsettled others and sowed further distrust in newly forming alliances within the group.
Unsafe contestants
By task’s end, Faiz, Arya, Bebika, Tejaswi, Sapna, Saurabh Ghadge, Sumaira Shaikh, Maxtern, Khanzadi, Monalisa, and Yung Sammy were all marked unsafe. Anxiety rippled across the Palace as each weighed the threat to their place in the competition.
Influencers challenged by actors
The episode further spotlighted a growing divide between content creators and actors. Prince and Yuvika voiced pointed criticism, saying, "the industry is over because of them" and "can’t act for more than 12 seconds." Ridhi Dogra, siding with the actors, added that their profession demands considerable effort.
Faisu’s campaign to shield Faiz
Meanwhile, Faisu moved quickly to rally support, urging fellow contestants to prevent Faiz from facing elimination.
