JioHotstar/Colors TV’s new reality show **The 50** has been enthralling the audience ever since its premiere on February 1, 2026, with the first week itself witnessing immense drama and quick eliminations inside the Grand Mahal. Hosted by mysterious gamemaster **The Lion**, this survival format features 50 celebrities competing through tasks, alliances, and high-stakes decisions—where a single mistake could lead to an “Exit Order.”

The first week saw four players make dramatic exits:

– **Vanshaj Singh** became the first contestant to be eliminated on the very first day. Fellow contestants voted him out due to his low conversation and being an outsider, creating a ruthless environment for alliances and relationships.

– **Saurabh Ghadge** **The Lion’s Crazy Games** He entered the danger zone during the task—which was a crucial challenge—and could not escape elimination, following which he received an exit order.

– **Sumaira Shaikh** also had a similar fate after the same crazy games. After appearing in Danger, she was unable to protect herself, leading to her elimination in the first week itself.

– **Archit Kaushik** was directly thrown out after violence broke out in the latest episode. He pushed/hit fellow contestant Maxturn during a heated argument (which was to Maxturn’s comments on Elvish Yadav), following which The Lion enforced strict anti-violence rules and ordered an immediate exit.

These exit shows emphasize discipline, performance and strategy—one mistake can end the journey abruptly. **The 50** airing daily at 9:00 PM (Early Access) on JioHotstar and 10:30 PM on Colors TV has been in the news with its unexpected twists and turmoil amongst the celebrities. Viewers can watch the episodes on the platform to watch the entire survival show.
