We hope your house is all decked up and the Christmas tree is lit up and you are soaking in the Christmas joy, but remember, whatever you do please give gifts to everyone around even if you do not get along with them on daily basis. At least don't be stone-hearted like BB housemates who gave nothing to Shilpa and Puneesh for Christmas.
That's not all. In an interesting turn of events, for the first time, the audience voted live in the Bigg Boss house and chose Vikas Gupta over Priyank Sharma to enter the semi-finale.
Here's all that unfolded on the Weekend ka Vaar tonight.
Salman enters the show with his swag, talks about his new release Tiger Zinda Hai and about the nominated contestants and the reason they all got nominated. Salman expresses his displeasure over the way things unfolded.
He then plays a footage of the gift exchanging that happened in the house on the account of Christmas occasion.

The housemates are happy to receive gifts from each other. Sadly even when everyone is soaking in the warmth and joy of Christmas some held their grudges and hence Shilpa and Luv were left without gifts. Luv talks to Hina about the same and Hina gives Puneesh a gift. Akash being Akash gave Hina eggs. Shilpa says that she wanted to gift something to Akash and Puneesh but she did not have anything.
Salman then takes a dig at the contestants for getting nominated. He asks Hina how come she is safe. Hina says that no one came to her and even if they did she would have avoided the conversation. The contestants blame each other for initiating the plan. Salman makes the situation light and says that the audience and the makers are not fools. Salman compliments Hina on her look and asks her to go to the storeroom.
There's a briefcase and some files kept and Salman says this is because she is looking good. Basically, Salman took a dig at Hina for what she said to Vikas when he got dressed up in the house the other day.
Hina then says that she thinks Vikas is under depression as Hiten has left and he is feeling lonely. Salman says Hina is boring him with the explanation. Puneesh then says that basically, Vikas has lost his control over the game as not only did he leave, but also because Akash broke his egg during the captaincy task. Salman says that a sleeping lion shouldn't be teased and taken lightly.
Salman then asked Luv about the chit he found in the bathroom. Vikas explains that he wrote those chits as he knew that he will not be able to meet Luv before he left. He says that the real game changer was Shilpa. However, Vikas said that her decision to evict Hiten was right as he was a strong competition. Salman then asked how Vikas ended up in jail. Vikas spoke about the captaincy task and how he unintentionally attacked Hina and Shilpa. Hina says that Vikas' action was scary and that deterred the ladies to not participate further. Salman says that his actions worked and he finally had two attackers less. Salman then says that this time the nominations will happen today. He then announces that Shilpa, Vikas, Puneesh are safe.
The caller of the week questions Luv regarding his decision to make Hina Khan the captain while his first choice was Priyank. Luv says he was scared that Priyank would save Vikas when he got a special power. Priyank adds that he understands how everyone is now playing safe.
This leads Salman to discuss the captaincy task wherein Hina confused everyone as she not only asked Shilpa to not move but she herself refused to get off the podium. In Hina's defense, she said that she was curious about Priyank taking Shilpa's name. Shilpa says that although she wanted to stand, Bigg Boss granted them a limited amount of time and hence she chose Hina. Vikas praises Shilpa by saying that she avoids unnecessary stress and that she is very giving when it comes to such things.
Priyank and Hina once again fight it front of Salman, when he took Hina's name and she was upset even with that. Vikas asked Hina to not get angry but Hina back-answers again. Salman then asks the contestants who do they think will get evicted today. Arshi names Puneesh, Vikas says Puneesh or Arshi, Shilpa says Arshi for her behavior, Puneesh too feels he will go out this week, along with Hina and Akash. Priyank and Luv think Arshi as she is playing under Vikas' shadow. Salman then says that Luv and Priyank are safe.
Salman then takes the housemates by surprises and says that Arshi has been evicted. They all give a warm farewell to Arshi, but Shilpa gets teary eyed and Vikas cries inconsolably. Priyank consoles Vikas.
Shilpa says that it is all because of her rude behavior with her that landed her in this spot. Vikas gets a little disheartened by Shilpa's talks.
Arshi then joins Salman on the stage. She talks about the housemates and her journey and says that Vikas is very emotional and is a cry baby. Arshi also said that with her eviction Vikas is destroyed as now he has no pawns in the house. Arshi explains her behavior towards Shilpa in the house: she is all praise for Shilpa and wishes that she wins the game. Arshi calls Hina the real naagin in the house.
Salman once again takes Arshi into the house and asks Vikas why is he getting so emotional. Vikas says that Arshi comes across as rude and temperamental but she is actually a very genuine hearted person. Arshi asks Vikas to get a grip on his emotions.
Salman then gives Arshi a special power and asks her to choose two names which will be going to semi-finale. Arshi says that Shilpa is too strong and does not need support and hence chooses Vikas and Priyank. Salman then takes Arshi down the memory lane.
He later says there is another twist to this and that Priyank and Vikas will justify the audience why they deserve to be in the semi-finale as the audience will vote live for them.
Priyank comes first and gives his reasons. Salman takes the audience through his journey. He gets 67% of votes. Then comes Vikas who cements his position in semi finale by securing 71%.
Salman congratulates Vikas and bids adieu with Christmas wishes.
