Seeti Advantage – A Game-Changer in the Challenge
Midway through the challenge, Gaurav Khanna and Archana Gautam used their Seeti Advantage, which they earned by winning the Wheel of Fortune Pair Challenge. They strategically targeted Rajiv Adatia and Nikki Tamboli from Team Rocky, forcing them to pause their cooking for five minutes.
