Bigg Boss 16’s nomination special in the house puts the contestants in a tough spot and it all turns out to be a game of fate and luck instead of removing grudges against each other. The contestants get confused when Bigg Boss informs them that each contestant will have to count in their head till nine minutes and the contestants most close to the actual nine minutes will win the task and get safe from elimination. The housemates think that it is an easy task until Bigg Boss informs them that there is a twist and reveals that they will be interviewed by a special host – Ken Ferns who will show them some comments from the audience.
