In one of the most surprising twists of Bigg Boss Telugu 9, eliminated contestants re-entered the house to participate in a unique nomination round. This time, they had the power to nominate the current housemates — and a few of them were even given a chance to continue in the game. The episode was packed with confrontations, confessions, and emotional moments.

A Twist in the Tale: The Return of Evicted Housemates

Bigg Boss announced a brand-new twist — former contestants will return not just to nominate current players but also to potentially rejoin as regular housemates. With emotions running high, contestants braced themselves for the unexpected. Meanwhile, Sai used his immunity power, ensuring no one could nominate him.

Priya Shetty Sparks Fire

First to return was Priya Shetty, previously eliminated for her arrogance. She didn’t hold back this time either. Priya nominated Sanjana, accusing her of defaming Thanuja, body shaming Divya, and using class-based remarks. Her second nomination power went to Kalyan, who chose Ramu, criticizing his weak gameplay last week for giving away his money to Nikhil and Gaurav. However, Ramu stood firm and defended his decisions. The segment ended emotionally with Suman Shetty tearing up as he bid farewell.

Manish Targets Kalyan and Sparks Emmanuel–Thanuja Clash

Next, Manish entered and immediately nominated Kalyan, calling out his “safe play” and “backstabbing” of Emmanuel by nominating Sanjana. Manish argued Kalyan could’ve targeted Ramya or Madhuri instead — both of whom had actually defamed him earlier. His second nomination power went to Emmanuel, who stunned everyone by nominating Thanuja, claiming she was playing safe and being ungrateful. Their heated argument left both housemates and viewers shocked.

Flora’s Explosive Accusations and Sanjana’s Backfire

Then came Flora, who didn’t mince words. She nominated Ritu, accusing her of maintaining a fake relationship with Pavan just for screen appeal and mocking Ayesha’s exit. Flora even alleged that Ritu cut her hair for Sanjana as a strategy, not friendship. Flora’s second nomination power went to Suman, who also nominated Sanjana for calling him a “waste captain.” Ironically, Sanjana’s close friend Flora indirectly became the reason for her nomination. The fiery Madhuri–Sanjana argument that followed was one of the loudest of the season.

Ritu–Pavan Rift and Srija’s Sharp Comeback

Meanwhile, Ritu blamed Pavan for her nomination, leading to a fierce fight. Pavan, realizing their bond was hurting his game, tried to distance himself. Emmanuel once again played peacemaker between them.

Finally, Srija entered the house and instantly stirred drama. She nominated Kalyan, accusing him of staying silent when others defamed him and calling him “lusty”. Her sharp wit and sarcasm reminded everyone of why she was one of the season’s most articulate players. She then handed her second nomination power to Madhuri, teasingly saying, “Now let’s see how well you use it.” Madhuri used it to nominate Ritu, which escalated into a chaotic argument — joined by Srija herself — resembling a street tap water fight.

Explosive Drama to Continue

This unexpected “Return of the Eliminated Contestants” twist completely shook up the house dynamics. With rivalries reignited, alliances tested, and new tensions brewing, the stage is set for more explosive drama in the next episode as the process continues.
