At last Ariyana realized her dream of becoming captain of the house in Bigg boss season 4. But there was lot of drama during her captaincy task and immediately after she took over the captaincy. Details as below.

All the contestants compete to become captain of the house because that will give them immunity for a week from the nominations. Ariyana is one of those contestants who has been trying hard to become captain of the house. Finally she realized her dream in this week when only women contestants competed for the captaincy.

Captaincy task:

As per the task, there will be a box and the key of which is placed along with the box on the table. Male contestants have to compete to get the key after buzzer is on and once he receives the key, female contestants need to convince him to give the key to her. Whoever receives the key, can eliminate one female contestants from the competition. The process is repeated 3 times to select the captain from 4 ladies qualified to become captain of the house.

In the first round, Akhil won the key and, no prizes to guess that but, he gave it to Monal. She took the key and eliminated Harika from the competition. Disappointed Harika left the place. In the next round, Mehboob won the key. Surprisingly, he gave the key to Ariyana. It is known news that he nominated Ariyana this week despite the fact that she nominated herself last week and saved Mehboob. Probably, to clear of that misunderstanding, he helped her during captaincy task. Ariyana was elated with this and obviously she eliminated Lasya, who has more acceptability among the housemates. With this, after second round Monal and Ariyana were in the race and third round would be tie breaker.

Amma broke the tie and helped Ariyana:

In 3rd round, Amma Rajasekhar won the key and, obviously gave it to Ariyana. As soon as he won, Monal was seen disappointed as she knows he won’t help her, given the bitter arguments they had during the nominations this week. As she predicted, he gave it to Ariyana and then Ariyana eliminated Monal from the competition. This made her the only contender for captaincy and she became captain of the house.

Argument with Amma are becoming captain:

After becoming captain, she appointed Monal as ration manager. This irked Amma, who helped Ariyana. He openly expressed his unhappiness as he was expecting that position and that led to argument between Ariyana and Amma, who were supporting each other couple of minutes ago. Though they came to terms later, the audience who watched the show thought whether captaincy will help or destroy the prospects of Ariyana in Bigg boss house.

We need to wait and see how will be her captaincy.

Singer Noel , who joined the house as hot favourite, had to leave the house intermittently because of health reasons. After Gangavva, he is the second person to leave the house on health reasons this season. Details as below.

Singer Noel is known to the Telugu audience not only as a singer but also as an actor. Especially, his performance in the movies like Eega and Kumari 21f got good appreciation. It seems big boss team contacted him during season 2 itself but he could not make it. Finally he joined Bigg boss season 4. He was seen very active during the first couple of weeks. In fact he was the first one to become captain of the house this season. But all this changed after he went to jail as part of a task. He was seen dull and passive after coming from the jail . Even though Bigboss did not show any footage of his suffering , the audience could guess that he might have some health problems by seeing the way he is behaving and his walking style.

In social media rumours started floating that, he is suffering from arthritis or some other similar issue as joint pains has been mentioned by other contestants regarding Noel’s health condition. In recent episode, Bigg boss asked Noel to come to confession room and told that his health condition requires the treatment by specialists as well as some rest and so he had to leave the house. Singer Noel seemed to be happy with the decision considering his health condition. But the housemates became very emotional while bidding adieu for him. As it is known to everyone, singer Noel is one of the non controversial person of this season and he even got the title of ” Relangi Mavayya of Bigg boss season 4″ after the character portrayed by Prakash Raj with the same name in the movie Seethamma Vakitlo.

But big boss finally announced that he still has chances of coming back into the house provided his health conditions improve quickly. This announcement made the housemates happy and all of them wished singer Noel to come back as early as possible into the house.

Bigg boss season 4 started grandly, then dipped for a week or so, but again rose from 3rd week. Then onwards, it went on to get good ratings for a couple of weeks. But all of a sudden, the ratings as well as quality of the content dropped huge. More than all this, there have been satires on this season by the netizens that this season will be remembered as the best “Pulihora” season in the history of Telugu Bigg boss.

Pulihora:

Literally this means tamarind rice. But as a colloquial, this term is used to refer someone who is trying to flirt with girls without focusing on the actual work they are supposed to do. Comedy shows like Jabardasth, Adirindi, and comedians like vennela Kishore and Hyper aadi were seen using this word frequently.

Why this season is called pulihora season by the netizens:

Bigg boss season 1 is so far the cleanest season in Telugu. Season 2 completely revolved around Kaushal. The housemates who tried to develop relations in the house were outrightly rejected by the audience in that season. Season 3 was mostly entertainment based, though Rahul and punarnavi romantic thread was called pulihora by vennela Kishore. People had lot of negativity on Punarnavi and evicted her as soon as she came into the nominations after being saved by Bigg boss for several weeks.

Unlike the previous seasons, this season has mostly bachelors and so housemates formed couples among themselves. Monal and Akhil, Abhijeet and Harika, Avinash and Ariyana behaving like couples who are seeing each other. Monal kissing and hugging Akhil when the lights went off on one of the episodes did not go well with some sections of the audience. Her triangle story in the initial episodes also irritated the audience. Bigg boss focusing on the romantic moments between these housemates giving an impression to the audience that this season is targeted to attract youth towards this show.

Bigg boss decisions also confirming that this season is meant for “pulihora”?

The audience of Bigg boss is getting surprised by the evictions during this season. While the elimination of Surya Kiran, Karate Kalyani and Sujata are in congruent with the opinion of the audience, the eliminations of Devi, Kumar Sai and Divi seen as biased decisions by Bigg boss makers. It is known thing that these three housemates were strong during the tasks and got very good voting too. Bigg boss makers seemed to have manipulated the final results on those weekends. Kumar and Divi, as per reports, made scapegoats to save Monal. Bigg boss makers retaining some house mates, who were giving footage to show through their special relationships, and eliminating the contestants who are playing the game genuinely giving the impression that this season is indeed a “PULIHORA” season.

We need to wait and see if big boss is going to change the ways and provide clean entertainment in the coming days or not.

As everyone knows Monday is the day of nominations in Bigg boss house. Today Bigg boss asked each of the housemates to nominate 2 persons and justify the reasons.

Avinash nominated Lasya and Harika. He gave the reason that Harika did not participate fully in the previous task indirectly referring to her inclination to join the Abhijeet team. He also nominated Lasya for her rude behavior towards him when he asked for a cup of tea.

Lasya nominated Amma Rajasekhar for calling her smile a cunning smile. Also nominated Monal for not at all mingling with her and yet complaining that Lasya not mingling with her.

Mehboob’s unfair game:

Mehboob nominated Ariyana and Monal. Mehboob told, he wanted to clear his misunderstanding with Ariana and so he is nominating her. It looked very unfair on part of Mehboob. Last week only Ariyana nominated herself and saved Mehboob. At that time he assured her of posting it back. But immediately next week he nominated her. He also nominated Monal.

Akhil vs Amma high-voltage fight:

Akhil nominated Amma Rajasekhar and Ariyana. He told Amma is playing a sympathy game. He also nominated Ariyana.

Amma Raja Sekhar nominated Akhil and he rightly pointed out Akhil’s arrogance while Kumar Sai leaving the house. Akhil and Amma argued a lot during the nominations. Akhil still defended his behavior with Kumar Sai while he was leaving. He also nominated Lasya for her cunning smile.

Helpless Ariyana vs Strong Mehboob & Sohail duo:

Ariyana nominated Mehboob who has been nominating her every time despite her positive gesture towards him. She also nominated Akhil for his behavior towards her during the hotel task.

Sohail also nominated Ariyana, maybe because of his friendship with Mehboob. He also nominated Amma because of his friendship with Akhil. Sohail doesn’t seem to have his individual opinion this week.

Noel is one contestant who is not displaying negativity even during the nominations. He nominated Mehboob and Akhil and explained that both are very strong contestants hundred only reason he is nominating them.

Harika nominated Ariyana for not understanding the point of view of others. She also nominated her arch-rival Mehboob.

Monal irritated yet again:

Abhijit nominated Monal for obvious reasons. She called him a manipulator earlier. He also nominated Amma Rajasekhar.

Monal nominated Mehboob for conveying her calling Abhijit as a manipulator to others in the house. She also nominated Lasya for not considering her vegetarian habits while preparing food. Monal never completes the task of nominations without an emotional burst out.

Overall- Amma Rajasekhar, Ariana, Mehboob, Akhil, Lasya, and Monal nominated for the eviction this week.

As Nagarjuna is out of the station, Samantha handled the shown this weekend. Though her hosting is good, the overall episode was boring for most of the parts. But one part that stood out in the episode is when Hyper Adi passed some hilarious comments on the housemates. He entered the house as a detective who can read the minds of the housemates. As part of this task, he tried to evoke some laughs in the house and he was successful in his task

Amma Raja Sekhar: Hyper Adi compared Amma Raja Sekhar with Aparichitudu and explained various shades of him in different scenarios comparing with multiple personality disorder.

Sohail: Hyper Adi told Sohail was like Arjun Reddy initially but now became like Swathimuthyam. His conversation with Sohail was very entertaining.

Mehboob: He compared Avinash and Mehboob’s performance during Konte Rakshalu task. When Mehboob turned a good human from the monster, Adi observed, it looked like RGV directing Shankarabharanam.

Akhil: Adi passed sarcastic comments on his flirting with Monal. He also added that Akhil is reducing the burden for editors as he is always with Monal and editors need not look for different footage for Monal. This made the entire house burst into laughs.

Monal: Hyper Adi tried to evoke laughs by saying to Monal that his name Adi also starts with ‘A’. It is known news that she initially flirted with Akhil and Abhjit whose names start with ‘A’.

Divi: He praised Divi and compared her with Bhoomika in Kushi movie.

Noel: His comments on Noel were so hilarious. He told there are only three good people in the world, one is Prakash Raj in ‘Seethama vakitlo’, another one is Satyaraj in ‘Brahmotsavam’ and the last one is Noel in Bigg boss 4. He also poked fun of Noel getting huge elevation while going to jail.

Ariyana: Adi passed satires on her that he could make even RGV also fall for her and Avinash is nothing for her. Many have watched her interview with RGV that has gone viral.

Abhijit: He told when Akhil and Abhijit were fighting for Monal, it looked like a Prema Desam movie. But now, he added, Abhijit became director of that Prema Desam instead of being one of the heroes in Prema Desam.

Harika: Adi reminded her about her emotional blackmailing of Bigg boss and compared it with Brahmanandam requesting Nagarjuna in Dookudu movie

Lasya: He passed comments on Lasya and told that whether it is outside the house or inside the house, it is only Lasya, who will laugh for the jokes told by Lasya

Avinash: Hyper Adi told, after ‘why Kattapa killed Bahubali”, the most famous question in Telugu states is “What Avinash wrote on Sofa”, indirectly poking fun at Avinash-Ariyana romantic thread in the house.

Overall, Hyper Adi was successful in evoking a few laughs, in an otherwise boring episode of Bigg boss 4 today.

Samantha replaced Nagarjuna as the host today. As soon as the trailer showing Samantha as the host was out, people became really curious to see her hosting and they glued to TVs this Sunday. As a bonus, MAA TV also pulled Akhil Akkineni on to the screen for some time. MAA TV added a lot more attractions to the episode but after finishing the episode, it didn’t look really great. Details as below:

Samantha hosting:

Samantha hosting was cute though she looked a bit nervous at times. Her frequent smile was sweet, but at times it looked artificial, might be because of her nervousness. Even though her Telugu was ok, she didn’t look very comfortable speaking a lot of Telugu. It seems Bigg boss makers also know this and gave a lot of padding to her by sending different persons who took over the show at frequent intervals. Also, her speaking at times looked like she was getting prompts on her headphone. But she definitely looked gorgeous and tried her level best to give her best.

The entry of Akhil:

Akhil, the most eligible bachelor of the Telugu states joined the show and promoted his upcoming film “Most eligible bachelor” Akhil was given the task of selecting ‘best Jodi’ and ‘worst Jodi’ out of the contestants. Avinash-Harika, Abhijit-Divi, Akhil-Monal, and Mehboob-Ariyana performed as Jodis. Akhil finally announced Mehboob and Ariyana is the best Jodi. Bommarillu Bhaskar, who directed the movie also joined the show and promoted the movie

Tasks and emotions:

As every weekend episode, this episode also had some tasks. ‘Swayamvaram’ task was given the bachelors in the house to impress the beautiful girls in the house. Finally, Akhil emerged as the winner in the house. Also, Samantha showed the family videos of the housemates. Housemates like Lasya, Akhil, and Monal became very much emotional after seeing the videos. Other housemates like Abhijit managed composure.

Dance performances and skits:

This episode is a special episode and Bigg boss makers packed it with a lot of performances. There were dance individual performances by Karthikeya (hero of RX 100) and Payal (heroine of RX100). The performances were ok. Hyper Adi also entertained the house for a few minutes.

Overall:

Overall, this episode lasted for almost 3.5 hours and was a bit boring for the regular viewers of Bigg boss, though the dance performances and Hyper Adi episodes may appeal to general the audience who have watched the show on the day of the festival. Samantha hosting is average but she looked gorgeous, which means her hosting is ok for a single and special episode like this but she may not be able to handle the regular weekend episodes with the command that is required for Bigg boss host.

Bigg boss season 4 is seeing lots of ups and downs in terms of viewership. Though it started with low ratings in the first week due to unfamiliar contestants. the show picked up later and it was going on good until a few weeks ago. But recent decisions of Bigg boss, monotonous tasks, and irritating behavior of some of the housemates dragged the viewership of the show to the bottom. Adding salt to the would now host Nagarjuna also not available and that made even weekend episodes boring. Despite it is a Saturday episode, today’s episode is undoubtedly one of the most boring Saturday episodes in the history of Bigg boss Telugu. Details as below.

“Prema Modalaindi” movie:

Today’s episode is filled with the mock movie made by the housemates. Making this kind of movie is also one of the familiar themes for the big boss audience. This movie was made in the house under the direction of Abhijit, Divi being the assistant director. Among others, Noel is DOP, Amma is choreographer, Lasya is a makeup woman. Akhil-Monal, Avinash-Ariyana, and Mehboob are the artists in this movie. Avinash seems to have provided the script. Sohail and Harika did an item song. There is nothing to discuss the story of this movie. But the efforts of Mehboob and Harika are worth mentioning.

The buildup that tested the patience of the audience:

It seems the decision of not having a host for this Saturday is confirmed at the last minute and so Bigg boss makers filled the episode with some junk. They organized a premier show for this move with Ariyana as an anchor interviewing other cast and crew, then there was a red carpet and there were awards in several categories to ensure each of the housemates gets some award. Overall the buildup that was given is no less than an oscar event. After the premiere show is over, there was a party to celebrate the success of the movie “Prema Modalaindi” and all the housemates danced and enjoyed the evening. Usually, this kind of theme is restricted to one episode but it was dragged too much in this season.

It is not an exaggeration to say that, the only part that was enjoyable in today’s episode is the promo of tomorrow’s Samantha episode that was telecast in the end. We need to wait and see how will be the fate of season 4

In Bigg boss 4, one contestant who entertained the audience from day one and has a steady graph is Avinash. He became captain of the house for the first time. 

Avinash Vs Ariyana for captaincy task:

During the monsters and humans task, both Avinash and Ariyana were part of the same team. After finishing the monsters task, except Ariyana, all the monsters were converted to humans. When Bigg boss asked the captain Noel to name two best performers during the task, he named Avinash and Ariyana. So both of them became the contenders for captaincy.

The task:

As part of the captaincy task, Avinash and Ariyana were given two carts. They have to transport the housemates to the stations allotted to them. Whoever have transported more people will be the winner. However, the catch is that, housemates may choose whose career they want to enter. This means the contestant who has more acceptance of others has more chances of winning the task.

Avinash wins:

Initially it was a tie between both of them. But finally Avinash emerged as winner. House was divided into two with half of them supporting Avinash and the other half supporting Ariyana. There were discussions about whom to support. Housemates like Amma opined that entertaining person like Avinash can keep  the house happy as Captain.

Ariyana loses but got appreciation:

Ariyana list the captaincy to Avinash. But during the game, housemates like Abhijit told her that they were ready to support her g if she can give an assurance that they we will be exempted from all the domestic work for next week by her (if she becomes captain). But Ariyana refused to do so and told she is ok to forego the captaincy but not agree to show bias on someone after becoming captain. This stand of her got appreciation from the audience though she lost the task.

New rules by Captain Avinash:

After becoming captain, Avinash set some new rules to the housemates to ensure then they follow all the rules of the house. Even though the punishments set by Avinash look funny, they ensure the housemates adhere to the rules. These new punishments set by Avinash surprised the house.

We have to wait and see how will be the captaincy of Avinash. 

Bigg boss show, that has been running successfully, suddenly received a jolt from the audience and netizens as they have been openly criticizing Bigg boss in recent times. Details as below:

Dip in ratings?

It seems the ratings of Bigg boss came down recently. There seem to be 2 main reasons for this. The first one being, the supposedly family show turning into a youth show and families are distancing themselves from the show and the second reason being the wrong eliminations and biased nature of the Bigg boss. Reportedly, the ratings of the show came down drastically for the latest reported week

Family show turning youth show:

Bigg boss season 1,2 and 3 were watched by the entire family without any hesitation. Some sporadic episodes focussed on glamor show in the previous seasons too but they never lasted long. But this season, which is filled with more youngsters, and more ‘pairs’ than the previous seasons, is looking more like a youth show than a family show. Monal hugging Akhil frequently and their romantic thread making the family audience impatient. Harika and Abhijit thread also producing a similar reaction but with slightly less impact. The kissings and huggings, especially after the lights were off, not going well with most of the audience.

Continuous wrong eliminations:

The latest elimination of Kumar Sai irked the audience and anyone who watches the show can clearly guess that this decision is not based on the votings of the audience. Polls conducted by almost all websites proved that Monal is the most disliked contestant but the makers of Bigg boss, for some unknown reasons, wanted to save her. A similar reaction was seen for Swathi Deekshit and Devi’s eliminations. The eliminations that were incongruent with the audience’s opinion were Surya Kiran, Karate Kalyani, and Sujatha. These wrong eliminations in recent weeks making the audience distance themselves from the show.

Other factors:

The other factors like – cliched tasks and the overaction of some of the contestants also causing a lot of damage to the show. Season 4 started grandly but immediately saw a dip in ratings as the audience initially was disappointed with the list of contestants. But slowly the show picked up and got huge ratings. At that point, instead of sustaining the ratings by showing a fair game, Bigg boss makers seem to have taken the steering into their hands and taking decisions according to their whims and fancies.

We need to wait and see if Bigg boss makers mend their ways and present a clean and fair show to the audience or continue to show the content as per their whims and fancies and eliminate contestants as per their ‘personal choices’.

Certain tasks are very common in the Bigg boss show and repeated across the languages and different seasons. Monsters vs Humans is one such task.

The task:

As per this task, contestants are divided into two groups – naughty monsters and good humans. The goal of the monsters is to irritate humans and the task of humans is to convert monsters into humans. They will win if they can convert monsters into humans. While this is the main theme, there will be many sub-tasks and as and when humans win the task, one of the monsters will be converted into humans.

The teams and the performances:

Abhijit, Noel, Monal, Amma, Lasya, Divi, and Sohail were part of humans and Akhil, Mehboob, Avinash, Ariyana, Harika were monsters. After the task, started, humans were on the winning streak. They converted Akhil and Harika into humans initially. Harika gave a terrific performance in the task by making the house messy. But when she was converted into humans, she got offended as the monsters’ team did not take her name initially. She also told the Bigg boss that she will not help the humans team. But Mehaboob, Avinash, and Ariyana gave them the tough fight.

Ariyana surprised the audience by completely changing her body language as a monster. Her walking style, makeup, etc all resembled monster. Avinash also entertained the audience with his mythological dialogues. Mehboob, as always, gave a tough fight to the opposite team.

Avinash and Ariyana are the best performers:

Bigg Boss gave a task to humans to fill the drums with water from the swimming pool. Mehboob, Avinash, and Ariyana fought with vigor. But they made a mistake by throwing the drum into the pool. Bigg boss finally considered that drum inside the pool as a filled drum and announced that the humans’ team is the winners. They converted Avinash as a human after this.

Later Bigg boss gave another task to lift one monster into the air and ensure that person is in the air until the buzzer sound. Humans caught and lifted Ariyana and thereby won this task. Later they converted Mehboob as human.

No worst performer in this task:

When Bigg Boss asked the housemates to select 2 best and 2 worst performers, they selected Avinash and Ariyana as the best performers. But they could not find any worst performers as everyone put their full efforts into this task. Bigg boss announced that Avinash and Ariyana are contenders for the captaincy task.

Housemates got luxury budget items and they were excited with the gifts received.

Bigg boss game is turning biased gradually as the makers of the show seem to be putting their personal interests into the show. There seems to be an opinion among the audience that Bigg boss intentionally saved Mehboob this week. Details as below.

During the nominations, Bigg boss arranged the contestants into pairs. In each pair, one will get nominated and the other will get saved. While pairing, Bigg boss paired Akhil with Monal, both are good friends. In the same way, he joined Abhijit and Harika. It was a tough decision for them as they are thick friends. Going by the same logic, one expects the next pairs to be Avinash & Ariyana and Sohail & Mehboob. Because. Avinash is the best friend of Ariyana in the house. The same way Sohail and Mehboob are also very thick friends and Bigg boss could have paired them.

But it seems just to save Mehboob from nominations, Bigg boss made adjustments in the pairs. He paired Avinash with Sohail and Ariyana with Mehboob. As everyone knows, Sohail initially helped Mehaboob during the coins task and he helped Sohail in the captaincy. Later Sohail saved Mehaboob from the nominations as Bigg boss gave him extraordinary power to save one from the nominations. Definitely, this is payback time for Mehaboob and if Sohail had been paired with Mehboob, he would have requested Mehboob to save him. It seems Bigg boss avoided this by making them part of two different pairs and thereby helped Mehboob from nominations.

Bigg boss saving Mehaboob:

This is not the first time Bigg boss saving Mehboob.

• In the first week, he was the most passive person but Surya Kiran was evicted.
• In the week when TV9 Devi left the house, as per votings, it seems Mehboob was at the bottom rank
• When he was in nominations once, Bigg boss asked Sohail, captain of the to save one. He didn’t ask any of the previous captains like this. Everyone understood that Bigg boss did this just to save Mehboob
• In the week of Swathi Dikshit eliminations also, most of the social media handles predicted his exit as he got the least votings as per many portals.
• Now, Bigg boss intentionally placed Mehboob and Sohail in different pairs.

We need to wait and see if Bigg boss wants to continue his favoritism in this season or he will provide fair game and real entertainment to the audience.

Bigg boss weekend episodes are always interesting. Mainly because of the curiosity among the audience to know who will get saved and who will leave the house. Also, fun games are entertaining most of the time. This weekend episode also was interesting.

Nagarjuna corrected the housemates:

As a host, Nagarjuna’s duty is not only to present the content and host the show but also to correct the housemates for their mistakes. He did the job so well today. He suggested Noel to not stop the tasks intermittently. It is known news that Noel gave the task halfway as felt Kumar Sai is cheating in the game. He also corrected Avinash for bursting out on captain during the week and alleging that he behaved biased during the tasks to favor the Akhil team. But he appreciated Sohail for doing a good job as captain. He also appreciated Lasya for drinking the drink with a nasty smell.

Amma accepted the bumper offer:

During the captaincy task, there was a deal to half shave his head and beard. But Amma Rajasekhar denied the task as it makes just one of the contenders for the captaincy but not the captain. Today Nagarjuna gave a bumper offer to the team that if anyone agrees for shaving his head and beard half side, he will be saved from the nominations next week. When team members were oscillating on the offer, Nagarjuna gave another interesting offer that he can not only save himself but also save another person (instead of himself or herself) from nominations next week. After a lot of dillydallying Amma agreed to take up the deal and Noel shaved his head and beard onside. Later when Nagarjuna asked him whether he wants to save himself or save someone else, he saved himself

Game: Read the minds of others

Later Nagarjuna played a game with the housemates. Bigg boss makers already collected feedback from the contestants about what they think about others in the house. Now Nagarjuna asked each of the housemates to stand up and then read out one negative statement given to them by someone in the house. They have to guess who wrote that negative feedback. This game was interesting as the audience also kept on guessing along with the contestant about who could have written such a statement.

Overall it was an interesting episode. The contestants like Noel, Lasya, and Harika got saved in this episode. We need to wait and see who will leave the house this week.
