Colors TV’s new reality show The 50 began with a dramatic twist that caught viewers off guard. In a surprising turn of events, contestant Vanshaj Singh was eliminated in the very first episode, leaving the competition with 49 participants from day one itself. The unexpected decision, taken by the show’s captains and approved by the Lion, set the tone for an intense season ahead.

The premiere episode opened inside the task arena, where all 50 contestants gathered for the first time. The Lion welcomed them before selecting 10 captains, each of whom formed teams of five. An engaging task followed, after which five teams were declared safe while the remaining five faced the threat of elimination.
However, the process did not end there. From the 25 contestants in danger, 15 were saved through a musical chairs challenge, narrowing the elimination pool to 10 contestants.
Captains Decide Vanshaj Singh’s Fate
The five winning captains, Karan Patel, Krishna Shroff, Shiv Thakare, Prince Narula, and Faizu, were then asked to unanimously choose one contestant for elimination. After deliberation, they selected YouTuber Vanshaj Singh, citing his inability to form strong connections with other contestants in the limited time.
While some participants expressed disappointment, feeling the decision was unfair so early in the game, the Lion accepted the captains’ verdict and instructed Vanshaj to exit the show.
Vanshaj Singh’s Emotional Exit
Before leaving, Vanshaj Singh addressed everyone with an emotional speech. He shared that he had entered the show with hopes of proving himself and building his own identity. He maintained that he played the game honestly and fairly during his short journey.
What Lies Ahead
With Vanshaj Singh’s exit, 49 contestants now remain in the house. The show still has 49 days left, indicating that eliminations may occur daily. Viewers are now eager to see what new challenges the Lion introduces in the upcoming episodes.
