The 50, the intensity of the competition reaches a fever pitch as the “Elimination Arena” undergoes a massive shift in rules, leaving even the strongest alliances in total disarray.
The “Power of Five” Rule
The episode opens with the Lions and the Wolves celebrating their previous victory, but the celebratory mood is short-lived. The “Game Master” announces a mid-season twist: the current alliances are officially dissolved. For the next round, the remaining 30 contestants must form new groups of exactly five, and each group must contain at least two members from a rival former alliance.
The Betrayal at the Negotiations
Aryan and Zayn, who have been the show’s strongest duo, find themselves targeted. While trying to form their “Power Five,” their longtime ally Sana secretly strikes a deal with the Underdogs. She leaves Aryan’s group at the last second, leaving him with a team of “misfits” and a high probability of entering the elimination zone.
The Main Task: “The Gravity Pit”
The physical challenge for this episode is a grueling test of endurance and trust. Teams are suspended over a foam pit, and each member must hold onto a heavy tether while answering rapid-fire logic puzzles. Every wrong answer results in a 10% increase in the weight of the tether.
- The Standout: Meera proves to be the MVP, successfully balancing the physical strain while answering every puzzle correctly for her team.
- The Failure: Kabir’s team crumbles when internal bickering leads to three members falling into the pit within the first ten minutes.
The Climax: The Double Jeopardy Vote
The episode ends with a shocking twist. The winning team isn’t just safe; they are given the power to “freeze” one member of the losing teams. The frozen member cannot be voted on by the house and goes straight to the Instant Elimination round. In a tactical masterstroke, the winning group chooses to freeze Zayn, separating him from Aryan for the first time in the series.

- Physical & Mental Strain: “The Gravity Pit” proves to be the most demanding task of the 2026 season so far.
