The 50 elimination February 9 episode: Day 9 of The 50 inside the Palace shifts sharply towards strategy, as the Arena Game throws many contestants into danger and shakes old bonds. Ruthless choices, emotional clashes and one eviction dominate Episode 9, while viewers also see alliances crack ahead of the next phase.
The voting round seals the tension. After unsafe contestants return to the Mahal, the group selects who stays. Several players survive the cut, but Jahnavi gets zero votes and must leave the game. The exit turns the atmosphere heavy, ending Episode 9 on a stark note.
The 50 Episode 9 Arena Game: format, captains and early danger
The Lion announces the Arena Game, explaining that the danger zone will open for several names at once. Contestants are split into four mixed teams, each with four boys and four girls, and every team has a female captain. The format is girls versus boys, played across multiple rounds.
The captains are revealed as Arushi Chawla for Green, Nikki Tamboli for Blue, Shrutika Arjun for Yellow and Nehal Chudasama for Red. One twist hits early. Urvashi fails to enter any team line-up and moves straight into the unsafe list, increasing pressure before the game even begins.
Team captains and colours for The 50 Episode 9 Arena Game are listed below.
| Team | Captain |
|---|---|
| Green Team | Arushi Chawla |
| Blue Team | Nikki Tamboli |
| Yellow Team | Shrutika Arjun |
| Red Team | Nehal Chudasama |
The 50 Episode 9 Arena Game: rules, animals and danger picks
The Lion sets out the Arena rules. Animals throw balls into the playing area, while contestants try to catch them using baskets strapped to their heads. Each round features either boys versus boys or girls versus girls, with one representative from every team entering the Arena.
Captains decide who plays each round, turning every selection into a tactical choice. Winners gain a crucial power. After every contest, the winning player must choose one contestant and push that name into the danger zone. Across many rounds, that list soon grows long and threatening.

The 50 Episode 9 conflicts: Bhavya, Rajat, Neelam and Maxtern
Amid the Arena twists, relationships strain. A serious fight breaks out between Bhavya and Rajat after Bhavya claims that Rajat forced a decision on Neelam, which led to Neelam being placed in danger. The situation quickly becomes personal and gives the Palace a tense atmosphere.
During the argument, Bhavya labels Rajat a “gunda” and breaks down in tears. Rajat hits back with the harsh line, “Tu royegi aur daily rulaunga.” Bhavya then accuses Rajat of mentally torturing Bhavya, which visibly disturbs many in the Palace and leaves others watching in silence.
Neelam later uses the power from the Arena victory to send Maxtern into the danger zone, explaining that Maxtern does not talk to Neelam. Maxtern reacts with a sharp comment, saying Neelam is “not good enough to talk.” Their clash adds another layer of personal friction to the strategic day.
The 50 Episode 9 danger zone, safe list and eviction result
Once the Arena rounds end, animals escort all unsafe contestants back into the Mahal for the vote. Every name in the danger zone waits as co-contestants decide who deserves to remain. The results decide both safety and the first exit linked directly to this Arena Game.
The safe names announced after voting are Shiv, Vikrant, Siwet, Urvashi, Arbaz, Rajat, Nikki, Maxtern, Digvijay and Manisha Rani. Jahnavi receives no votes at all and must leave The 50. The goodbye feels emotional, closing Episode 9 with visible disappointment among several contestants.
