Why hasn’t anyone raised this point before?

The moment housemates become the captain of the house, their attitude and behaviors change. I mean, captaincy is a weekly assignment. It shifts / rotates / passes on to the next player(s). It is not etched in stone and will, definitely, not be a long-term assignment that guarantees privileges.

So what is it about this 7-day glory that makes these stalwarts feel holier-than-thou? They get into their corporate boss mode, behave like they issue employee paychecks, and act like a total authoritative figure. There is a limit to what and how one should conduct themselves in a position of authority. In today’s episode, Rakesh was merely pushed by BB for ensuring order in the house. The moment he stepped out, an altercation between him and Pratik took place where, in a tryst, he turned around and told Pratik to shut up. Agreed Pratik is no saint, but sorry to say, you’re a leader and it is your task to keep your cool and ensure matters are heading in the right direction. If this is how you’re going to conduct yourself, no one will work under your pressure and shadow of condescension.

These “captains” really need to introspect and act a little extra civil in their approach of dealing with thise who coexist around them. This post is not about only Rakesh, but about all those who have been captains in the past and have shown their true colors while being in a position of authority.

Isn't Shamita also the captain?

Then why only Raqesh was called in the confession room and told by Bigg Boss to make sure that all work is done smoothly in the house, it's the duty of the Captain to ensure that.

If Raqesh has to ensure that then so does Shamita

You totally missed the point of my post.

No I understand what you're saying. I don't have anything else to add to your post.

It applies to EVERYONE who has been a captain in the past, Shamita included. It’s just that Rakesh was sleeping as a Captain and all of a sudden woke up and started pushing his weight around in an extremely crass manner (yes, Shamita was already doing that, so she is equally a part of this bone of contention). That’s all.

My concern is whether Raqesh announced this to everyone, or just Bata group.

Anyhow, the way Raqesh also said it sounded condescending like "I just called in by BB and they said that I can punish if you guys don't do your work." That just comes off as rude.

Exactly! I don’t care about Pratik and his persistent bs, but Rakesh’s disposition was downright classless. And Shamita… the lesser said the better about Mother Gluten-free. 🤢

Except gulati - uska captaincy was on a diff level. Sympathy card aur idgaf. Naheen cooperate karna. Mein captain ban kar sab kaam karronga. Don’t worry. I am not your boss man style.

you did forget that the first words out of Shamitas mouth to pratik were — are u captain before switching to glass full / glass empty to meri marzee 😂😂😂.

Yeh log kapitaan to dooor ke baat - dhung ke HM bhee naheen hain. Poora ghar nominate karwaa deeya including themselves (immunity being the only real benefit for week) 😂😂😂.
