Bigg Boss 14: Can Rakhi Sawant win the show?

Controversy’s favorite child Rakhi Sawant has suddenly emerged as a contender for the Bigg Boss 14 crown. The fact defies all convention because Rakhi is actually a contestant of a past season of the show who had entered the house as a challenger. If she wins it would be unprecedented, because no contestant of a previous season has won an ongoing season of the show.

Rakhi has courted the limelight this year with trademark bizarre gimmicks, no filters attached. She has managed to survive as the show heads into its last weeks. While Rubina Dilaik or Rahul Vaidya might have a bigger fan base, Rakhi suddenly looks like she has more than an outside chance of winning.

Rakhi is not new to Bigg Boss as she was one of the housemates on the first season in 2006. She was popular then and she is popular now.

In the 14th season, she sauntered into the house as one of the challenges and is now the only one of the group who has survived. Other challenges such as Arshi Khan, Kashmira Shah, Manu Punjabi, and Vikas Gupta have left the house for various reasons.

She is now directly competing with Rubina Dilaik, Aly Goni, Rahul Vaidya, Nikki Tamboli, and Devoleena Bhattacharjee — the last-mentioned came in as contestant Eijaaz Khan’s proxy.

while all of the above try to survive by plotting and scheming in the shadows, Rakhi stands apart with her strategy of playing on the front foot at all times. Ever since her entry, Rakhi has managed to grab eyeballs with everything she has said and done.

During her entry, Rakhi made headlines by openly talking about her implants on stage with superstar Salman Khan.

As soon as she entered the house, she made housemates chuckle by saying that she is the first wife of Bigg Boss. She tickled the funny bone of many with her antics during the duck pond task, where she was seen bursting out in tears after Nikki Tamboli broke the head of her prop. Rakhi was heard telling Salman that she felt like someone broke her “Mundi” (head), prompting her to curse.

She did not stop there! The Bigg Boss contestant has a vivid imagination for sure as she created content out of almost everything. Her fights with Arshi Khan was funny — so much so that a social media user made a song out of it.

Rakhi has tried almost everything to be the focus of over 100 cameras in the house.

There have been romance, too — at least her outrageous version of it.

She showered “crazy” love on Rubina’s husband, the now evicted Abhinav Shukla. She went on to say on national television that she has frozen her eggs and will ask Abhinav to be the donor.

Rakhi has managed to survived evictions and has been tagged as one of the most entertaining housemates in the show during a task.

Bollywood superstar and show host Salman Khan has also given a thumbs up to Rakhi’s game plan.

The bets are already placed on contestants as the show inches towards its finale. Rakhi has emerged as more than a dark horse.

Cardi B wants to live on a ranch

Rapper Cardi B has shared that she wants to live on a ranch despite never having been around farm animals before.

Cardi met country musician Mickey Guyton and shared that she wanted to see if she would get on with life away from the city as she said: “I’ve never been around farm animals.”

“I really want to have a farm, and I’m trying to convince my husband that we can actually have a farm (on) our property, but I’ve never been around farm animals, you know, I’m a real city girl,” she told Guyton in a video, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Guyton questioned Cardi: “So you’re gonna teach me?”

To which she replied: “No, you’re gonna teach me.”

Cardi has had little experience on the farm herself.

“No, no. I can’t teach you. I don’t know how to be a farm — a ranch hand or any of that,” she said.

Cardi held onto Guyton’s pregnant belly and said: “Wapin’ got you here in the first place.”

Guyton said: “It did get me here in the first place on this quarantine.”

Debate around captaincy a distraction Kohli doesn’t need: Pietersen

The debate around whether India should stick with Virat Kohli as Test captain will continue because the team has lost its last four Tests and due to the presence of Ajinkya Rahane, says former England captain Kevin Pietersen.

“I absolutely don’t expect things to change, but it is impossible to avoid the continuing debate around the Indian Test match captaincy. Virat Kohli has now lost four consecutive Test matches as skipper, and has Ajinkya Rahane, who just led India to a famous series win in Australia, in his side,” Pietersen wrote in his blog for Betway.

Under Kohli, India lost two Tests in New Zealand early last year, the first Test against Australia in Adelaide in December and their first Test against England in Chennai this week.

On the other hand, Rahane led the team to a remarkable 2-1 win in Australia after their heavy defeat in Adelaide. He is yet to lose a Test match as India captain.

“On social media, every radio station, every television channel, and every news channel, there are very deep discussions around what should happen. Captaining your country is very difficult and unfortunately, this is the nature of the beast,” said Pietersen.

“It’s one more distraction that Kohli doesn’t need but he is, of course, capable of leading his side to a victory in the second Test to quieten things down a bit,” he further said.

Pietersen also feels England fast bowler Stuart Broad is under pressure to deliver in this series. Broad was benched in favor of speedsters James Anderson and Jofra Archer. With Archer ruled out due to an injury, Broad could be selected for the second Test that starts on Saturday in Chennai.

“Whereas Anderson has now conquered each country he has played in, the one thing that Stuart Broad hasn’t done is performed in India. His record — 10 wickets in six matches at an average of nearly 54 — isn’t spectacular at all,” Pietesen said.

“Anderson and Broad are hailed as an incredible partnership, and of course they have been, but this is the difference between the two. If Broad wants to be globally recognized as a bowler that delivers in all conditions, he’s actually under quite a lot of pressure to perform in the second Test,” the former batsman said.
