Day 17 inside the Palace of The 50 delivers one of the most dramatic episodes of the season so far, packed with shocking wild card re-entries, intense confrontations and emotional farewells. With stakes higher than ever, alliances begin to crack and loyalties are put to the ultimate test. The show continues to stream on JioHotstar and air on Colors TV.
Before the high-pressure Dare No Dare Arena challenge begins, the Lion drops a major twist. Each team must select one returning contestant from the four ex-players re-entering the Palace, Khanzaadi, Arushi, Urvashi Dholakia and Tejaswi. Tensions rise immediately as Arushi questions Prince about her earlier elimination. Surprisingly, Ridhi and Yuvika refuse to defend him, exposing cracks within the group. Urvashi bluntly calls out the lack of unity among the television stars, while Tejaswi encourages the women to stand together in solidarity.
A battle between the two strong teams
After intense discussions, the teams lock in their choices. Urvashi joins Arbaaz’s team, Tejaswi aligns with Shiv’s team, Khanzaadi partners with Sidharth’s team, and after visible hesitation, Arushi is finally accepted into Prince’s team. The Lion announces a game-changing condition: if their team wins the Arena task, the returning contestant secures re-entry into the Mahal. If not, their exit becomes permanent.
The Arena challenge proves grueling. Ultimately, Team Prince and Team Arbaaz emerge victorious, sealing Arushi and Urvashi’s return to the Mahal. However, Khanzaadi and Tejaswi are handed their final exit orders, bringing emotional goodbyes.
The celebrations quickly turn sour. Nikki confronts Arbaaz for not celebrating with her, sparking a heated argument. Arbaaz accuses her of constantly picking fights, while an emotional Nikki later confides in Divya that she even stood against her family for him, only to feel hurt and sidelined. Meanwhile, a seemingly harmless joke by Tejaswi and Nehal about Monalisa’s long name slowing down the task escalates into a sharp exchange, leaving Monalisa visibly upset.
Bebika Dhurve gets evicted
As voting begins, Arbaaz, Faiz and Digvijay strategise to protect Adnaan, Faisu and Rajat. Realising the numbers are shifting, Bebika breaks down in the danger zone, fearing elimination. In response, Divya, Urvashi, Nehal and Krishna form a women’s alliance, determined to stop female contestants from becoming easy targets. When the votes are revealed, Bebika receives the exit order and bids an emotional farewell, closing another explosive chapter inside the Palace.
