Shiv Thakre and Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia competed for captaincy and a place to the finale in the captaincy task.
Non-contenders have to pitch their support for the person they believe deserves to advance in the game. Soundarya voted against Shiv in the task, justifying her decision by claiming that the latter harbours grudges and converts minor disagreements into major battles.
This did not sit well with Shiv, who claimed that Soundarya was merely uttering nonsense, resulting in a heated argument between the two.
