This week’s Bigg Boss Telugu 9 episode was a rollercoaster — full of intensity, emotion, and laughter. The continuation of the captaincy task brought unexpected twists, emotional breakdowns, and light-hearted bonding moments, leaving audiences both entertained and surprised.
Captaincy Task: Two Captains, One Tough Battle
Bigg Boss announced a major twist — the house would have two captains this week. The next task required contestants to play in pairs: Sai teamed up with Ramya, Ayesha paired with Madhuri, and Suman joined Gaurav. Both Madhuri and Sai wanted to partner with Ramya, citing her physical strength, which led to playful competition even before the task began.
‘Release from Coffin’ Challenge
In this gripping task, one person from each pair had to lie inside a coffin with a walkie-talkie, while their partner searched for the matching device, located the code, and unlocked the coffin. Ayesha was the first to find the correct walkie and code, but she struggled to unlock the lock due to vision issues. Frustrated and emotional, she broke down in tears while the housemates consoled her.
Ultimately, Suman and Gaurav completed the challenge first and emerged victorious, making them the new captains of the house. Sai and Ramya finished last, despite strong teamwork.
Nikhil Challenges Gaurav for Captaincy
Just when the celebrations began, Bigg Boss dropped another twist. Nikhil, who had earlier earned a captaincy contender pass, was given the chance to challenge one of the captains. He chose Gaurav.
The task tested balance and endurance — both stood on sticks tied to a rope structure, while other housemates added weights to their sides based on preference. Thanuja acted as sanchalak and called specific contestants to add weights. Most housemates sided with Gaurav, piling weights on Nikhil, who struggled under the pressure. In the end, Gaurav retained his captaincy, though Sai later accused Thanuja of favoritism, claiming she deliberately called Gaurav’s supporters.
After the victory, captains Suman and Gaurav generously offered their beds to female contestants who didn’t have any, opting to sleep on mattresses instead — a gesture that earned appreciation.
Fun Times and Lighter Moments
The day ended on a cheerful note. Ritu and Divya secretly stole Ramya’s ice cream, while Immanuel had everyone laughing with his mimicry of Gaurav’s task mistakes and jokes about Suman’s new “captain” attitude. Kalyan attempted to flirt with Ayesha, but she smartly shut him down.
However, tension resurfaced when Ayesha and Ritu argued over washing the kitchen sink. Pavan sided with Ritu, while Gaurav stepped in to defend Ayesha — once again dividing the house into camps.
From emotional lows to competitive highs, the Bigg Boss Telugu 9 house continues to brim with unpredictability. With two captains, visible alliances, and subtle rivalries, the coming days promise even more drama, strategy, and entertainment for viewers.
