The nomination process took a new twist this week, replacing the usual confession-room method with a competitive task that required both physical effort and strategic thinking. Housemates had to grab a doll with the name of the person they wanted to save and run into the safe zone. The last person left outside had to defend themselves against the person whose doll they picked, and the captain would take the final call.

Sanjana vs Ritu

In the first round, Sanjana ended up last and landed in a face-off with Ritu. Sanjana accused Ritu of depending heavily on Pavan, while Ritu countered by pointing out Sanjana’s own closeness with Emmanuel. Captain Divya ruled in favor of Ritu, leading to Sanjana’s nomination. Emotional after the verdict, Sanjana regretted speaking against Ritu, who had supported her re-entry earlier. Both Nikhil and Emmanuel comforted her.

Rule Change Sparks More Tension

In the next round, Suman finished last with Tanuja’s doll, but he refused to nominate her, accepting responsibility for his own poor performance. Bigg Boss then changed the rules and allowed the next round to determine nominations based on discussion and defense.

Pavan nominated Bharani, calling his frequent apologies a sign of weakness. Sai nominated Tanuja, calling her a strong contender. After hearing both sides, Divya chose to nominate Bharani.

Tanuja vs Emmanuel Clash

Tanuja later nominated Emmanuel for not supporting her in a game. Their argument turned heated. Ramu nominated Kalyan, and since Kalyan could not defend himself well, Pavan confirmed Kalyan’s nomination. Emmanuel became emotional, expressing hurt that despite standing by Tanuja earlier, he was targeted.

More Nominations Follow

In a later round, Emmanuel nominated Tanuja, while Ritu nominated Ramu for poor judgment as sanchalak. Ramu admitted he was weaker than Tanuja, and Kalyan confirmed Ramu’s nomination.

Next, Nikhil nominated Tanuja, calling her a strong competitor. Emmanuel nominated Sai for staying aloof. Tanuja strongly defended herself, but Pavan confirmed Sai’s nomination.

Captain’s Special Power

Bigg Boss gave captain Divya the authority to nominate one contestant who had not yet been nominated. She chose Tanuja, stating that Tanuja had earlier questioned why Bharani was giving more attention to Divya. Tanuja countered that Divya was targeting her for nominating Bharani, but Divya argued that she could have nominated Tanuja earlier if that were the case.

Final Nomination List

The housemates nominated for eviction this week are: Sanjana, Suman, Bharani, Kalyan, Ramu, Sai, and Tanuja.
