How a crying, squabbling Mandana makes Bigg Boss a compulsive watch

It's not even been the end of the first week and the Bigg Boss house has seen disagreements, crying, scheming and manipulating aplenty. Trust the show to never disappoint. Never ever! While Mandana Karimi and Rochelle Rao are busy fighting over Keith Sequeira, the man of the hour is fighting for his rights as co-partner with Mandana. On the other hand, there's Suyyash Rai who isn't too pleased with his girlfriend Kishwar Merchant's pairing with Aman Verma. It's a perfect recipe for great TRPs and trust Bigg Boss to hit the nail where it will hurt the boss. As part of a new twist, the contestants were given an option to change their partners leading to some surprises and more drama.

The rules were simple: each pair would try and convince the captains why they wanted to change their partner and finally, two pairs would get to swap their partners. Both Kishwar and Suyyash gave their reasons for a change. Rimi Sen too voiced her issues and so did Keith. However, Mandana went for the "I-don't-want-a-change" route; Rochelle too, surprisingly, didn't seem too eager to change her partner.

The person who no one was interested in choosing as their partner in the opening episode, Prince, had a change in fortune with almost everyone, girls and boys, willing to have him as their partner. Zero turned hero, maybe. The much-in-demand man was beaming with joy throughout.

As it turned out, Aman and Kishwar weren't allowed to swap for they were chosen as the best performers in the luxury budget task (Ouch!). The eventual swap resulted in Prince-Suyyash and Rochelle-Rimi as the new pairs.

With Kishwar more than eager to get rid of Aman, Prince now with the volatile Suyyash and Rochelle and Rimi trying to find a tuning, this might be the beginning of a whole new game. Bring it on, we say.
