Neeraj and Shivani were nominated for first-week, mid-week eviction.
Nominations Ki Aawaaz

Armaan, Deepak, Lovekesh, Sai, Sana S and Shivani were nominated for first-week, weekend eviction.
Tasks Aaj Ka Mudda with Deepak Chaurasia

On Day 2, a debate took place among six housemates. The topic of discussion was centered around the contributions and participation of Armaan, Lovekesh, and Neeraj in the show. Ranvir, Sai, and Sana S were assigned the role of questioning the involvement of these three housemates in the house's matters, essentially acting as the "prosecuting" side in this debate format.
The defendants, Armaan, Lovekesh, and Neeraj, answered questions and countered the arguments brought forth by the "prosecuting" side. The remaining housemates formed the audience and were permitted to question each speaker as well. Deepak moderated the debate.

Winners - Armaan, Lovekesh and Neeraj
Failed - Ranvir, Sai and Sana S
Ration task - rankings

On Day 4, Bigg Boss assigned a task to the housemates to earn ration for the house by determining rankings from 1 to 16 based on each contestant's contribution to the show. However, as the housemates were unable to provide logical reasons for each ranking and appeared to be in a hurry, Bigg Boss decided to cancel the task midway. Additionally, Bigg Boss pointed out that the rankings suggested by the housemates did not align with the rankings determined by the live audience.

Task Cancelled
BB Pet Care

On Day 5, a task was announced for assigning house duties, turning housemates into caretakers of pets. Housemates would earn points during the task, which could be used to purchase favorable house duties. In each round, three housemates would assume the role of caretakers, and a manager would assess their performance, awarding points that could be exchanged for house duty assignments.

Magical well

On Day 7, a magical well was placed in the activity area, offering housemates the opportunity to make a wish that could potentially be granted. To be eligible, the wishes had to be feasible within the confines of the house. Whenever a frog situated in the well made a sound, the activity area would be accessible, allowing one housemate to enter at a time. In order to make a wish, the housemates needed to sacrifice a personal item belonging to another contestant in the well. The number of wishes each housemate could make was directly proportional to the number of personal items they were willing to sacrifice.

Wishes were only made by Armaan, Lovekesh, Ranvir, Shivani and Vishal.
Curse Ka Kasht

On Day 9, all housemates were individually called to the confession room, where they were asked to declare to whom they wanted to give a curse that would cause them pain.

Curse of Ranvir was granted which was to take away all hair grooming products of Vishal until Bigg Boss gives again.
Punishments
  • On Days 1 and 2, the housemates consumed all the ration provided by Bigg Boss that was intended to last for a week. In response to this miscalculation, Bigg Boss provided additional fruits on Day 3 to ensure sufficient supplies for the remainder of the week.
  • On Day 4, as a result of the housemates' unsuccessful attempt at the rankings task, Bigg Boss provided an additional supply of ration to the housemates, ensuring they had adequate resources for the following seven days.
  • On Day 7, following the completion of the Magical Well task, Bigg Boss requested that five housemates nominate two housemates who would be subject to punishment. Ranvir and Shivani were ultimately chosen for the penalty, which involved holding their ears and continuously circling the well desk in the living area while saying, "Mere Pyaare Ghar Waalo, Mujhe Maaf Kardo" (Translation: "My dear housemates, please forgive me"). The punishment continued until Bigg Boss announced it to be over. However, as the punishments were not fully carried out, Bigg Boss refrained from fulfilling any wishes made by the housemates during the task.
Exits
  • On Day 5, Neeraj Goyat was evicted after facing the public vote.
  • On Day 9, Payal Malik was evicted after facing the public vote.

Bigg Boss assigned three puppet masters, Ranvir, Vishal, and Shivani, who made puppets of housemates and created short shows to entertain the audience. The three puppet masters carried out their individual puppet shows. Other housemates were workers at the BB puppet making factory who made puppets for their favorite puppet master by taking material from the slide. Deepak assessed this task, quality checking all puppets, and whichever puppet master had five approved puppets would get time for shows according to the number of puppets.

The live audience served as judges and cast their votes to help their favorite puppet master win. After declaring the results, Vishal came first and won the premium ration for the house, where he had to choose any six items from a list. Shivani came second and won the regular ration for the house, where she had to choose any five items from the list.

However, the results had not been finalized as the Baaharwala would decide whom to evict from the bottom two. The bottom two could be changed if any housemate kept moving on the stepper in fire ring for one hour, as live voting would be opened for the bottom three once again. If the stepper kept running for one hour, the results of the one-hour live voting would be considered; if it kept running for two hours, the results of the two-hour live voting would be considered; and if it kept running for three hours, the results of the three-hour live voting would be considered. Until the stepper moved, the bottom three would remain on the hill.

The housemates continuously moved the stepper for three hours, and after the live voting results were considered, the bottom two housemates remained the same as in the previous voting round.
Kaun Hai Baaharwala?

On Day 14, Bigg Boss instructed the housemates to find the Baaharwala among them by giving a task. The housemates had to choose two detectives among them who would be given the chance to interrogate three suspects among other housemates who they think could be the Baaharwala. The interrogation would take place for the time during which other housemates would have to perform certain other tasks. At the end, the detectives had to announce their verdict of their investigation that who is the Baaharwala.

The housemates chose Armaan and Sana M as the detectives who chose Chandrika, Shivani and Vishal as their suspects and Vishal bhabhi lover as their choice for the Baaharwala which was wrong. This resulted in Baaharwala Lovekesh's retention as Baaharwala.

On Day 40, Bigg Boss gathered all the housemates in the activity area and revealed the trophy for BB OTT 3. Bigg Boss then asked the housemates to vote for one of the nominated contestants whom they wanted to evict from the show. With a majority of votes cast against Lovekesh, he was evicted.

On Day 40, Bigg Boss kept pre-finale party where Meet Bros, Shibani Kashyap, Nikhita Gandhi, Sanju Rathod, Nakash Aziz performed and entertained the housemates.

During the Grand Finale, Bigg Boss sent gift boxes to the Top 5 contestants through their loved ones. These boxes were opened when host Anil Kapoor asked them to. After opening the gift boxes, the Top 4 contestants progressed to the next stage, and one contestant was evicted. As a result, Kritika Malik was announced as the 4th Runner-up.
During the Grand Finale, Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor entered the house to eliminate one housemate and narrow the contestants down to the Top 3. The Top 4 stood next to statues representing them. Rajkummar Rao held strings connected to the heads of statues for Sai and Naezy, while Shraddha Kapoor held strings for Ranvir and Sana M. When the strings were pulled, the head of Sai's statue came off, indicating his eviction from the Top 4. As a result, Sai Ketan Rao was announced as the 3rd Runner-up.
During the Grand Finale, after Ranvir Shorey was announced as the 2nd Runner-up, host Anil Kapoor revealed that live voting would be open for 10 minutes to determine the winner between the Top 2 contestants, Sana M and Naezy. As Sana M and Naezy took the stage following a farewell message from Bigg Boss, the live voting period ended. The results declared Sana M as the winner and Naezy as the 1st Runner-up.

Nomination notes

  • ^1 : On Day 3, each housemate was required to nominate two other housemates for the eviction process. However, Bigg Boss introduced a twist, which meant that only the nominations made by the Baaharwala, Sana S were accepted and finalized.
  • ^2 : On Day 6, Bigg Boss instructed the Baaharwala, Sana S, to choose three housemates who would be exempt from the nomination process. The Bahaarwaala selected Armaan, Payal, and Chandrika, rendering them ineligible to vote in the upcoming eviction proceedings. Following this decision, each housemate was then required to nominate two other contestants for eviction.
  • ^3 : On Day 6, Sana S was removed from her role as the Baaharwala, as discreetly announced by Bigg Boss.
  • ^4 : On Day 9, Sai's wish to save Armaan and Deepak from nominations was granted. He was immuned from the nominations but he gave up his power of Baaharwala to save Sana S from nominations.
  • ^5 : On Day 10, housemates were required to nominate in pairs with another housemate. They had the option of choosing between two other housemates, one whom they wanted to save and one whom they wanted to nominate for eviction. If the pair couldn't reach a mutual agreement on a decision, the pair itself would be nominated, and both of their options would be directly saved.
  • ^6 : On Day 12, live voting was opened for three hours to determine the bottom two among the bottom three housemates. Once the voting period concluded, the Baaharwala, Lovekesh, made the final decision on whom to evict from the bottom two.
  • ^7 : On Day 13, Bigg Boss granted the Baaharwala, Lovekesh, the right to allot a certain number of nomination rights to all the housemates, ranging from one to six. After receiving their respective nomination rights, the housemates proceeded to make their nominations.
  • ^8 : On Day 16, Munisha Khatwani and Sana S were declared as the bottom two contestants. The housemates, excluding Munisha and Sana S, had to vote to evict one of them from the Bigg Boss house.
  • ^9 : On Day 16, host Anil Kapoor announced the nomination of Armaan Malik for the remainder of the season as a consequence of his act of physical violence towards fellow housemate Vishal Pandey.
  • ^10 : On Day 17, each housemate received two letters to write to two fellow housemates, granting them immunity from nominations.
  • ^11 : On Day 19, Baaharwala, Lovekesh saved all nominated contestants by sacrificing half of the ration of that week.
  • ^12 : On Day 19, each housemate was required to nominate two other housemates for the eviction process.
  • ^13 : On Day 24, each housemate was required to nominate two other housemates for the eviction process.
  • ^14 : On Day 25, Bigg Boss cancelled the nominations for that week and directly nominated Adnaan as a punishment for his lack of participation in the Baaharwala Gang's eviction decision, which involved choosing a housemate from the nominated contestants.
  • ^15 : On Day 26, Bigg Boss gave power of nomination to Head of House Armaan where he could nominate four more housemates along with him and Adnaan who were nominated by Bigg Boss as punishment while Ranvir got nomination power by winning power of vetto where he could nominate one more housemate for eviction.
  • ^16 : On Day 31, all housemates had to count 13 minutes in pair allocated by Bigg Boss. A pair who will be far from count of 13 minutes will be evicted directly.
  • ^17 : On Day 33, Bigg Boss gave power of nomination to Head of House Ranvir where he could nominate three housemates as well as Bigg Boss asked Ranvir whether he wanted to save Armaan or not while Armaan would be replaced by other housemate.
  • ^18 : On Day 34, Bigg Boss asked all housemates to nominate one nominated housemate in secret ballot who would be evicted in weekend.
  • ^19 : On Day 38, two teams competed against each other comprising three housemates. At the end, whichever team loses task, all its members will be nominated for eviction.

Reception

[edit]

The series premiere episode was reviewed by Grace Cyril for Times Now. She wrote, "Once a powerhouse of entertainment, this season seems to have started on dull note. The High-voltage drama fell flat largely, making it a snooze fest."[26]

Pratidin Time wrote, "While Kapoor exuded his signature suave charm, attempts to engage the audience fell short, perhaps due to peculiar editing choices that diluted the impact, evident in the disjointed laughter track. Even the introduction of the first contestant, the Vada Pav Girl, lacked the anticipated punch."[27]
