Episode 8 of Bigg Boss 09 Telugu Agnipariksha kicked off with host Srimukhi’s lively welcome, introducing the Top 15 contestants and the three judges – Abijith, Navdeep, and Bindu Madhavi. Adding a fun twist to the start, Shwetha crowned Navdeep as the “Secret King,” but Navdeep quickly turned the tables by jokingly calling her the “Cover star.”
The judges revealed that the day’s format would feature luck-driven challenges blended with mental strategy games. They also introduced a new rule – the Yellow Card. Any contestant who gets this card twice will face direct elimination from Agnipariksha.
The Luck of Fruits
The first challenge of the day was a fruit-picking task, where contestants randomly chose fruits from a box. The picks were:
- Srija Dammu – Apple
- Priya – Kiwi
- Pawan Kalyan – Banana
- Kalki – Dragon Fruit
- Demon Pawan – Orange
- Divya Nikitha – Crusted Apple
- Prasanna Kumar – Pomegranate
- Anusha – Mango
- Harish – Guava
- Shwetha – Pear
- Naga Prashanth – Green Apple
- Dahliya – Banana
- Shakib – Green Apple
- Manish – Green Apple
- Shreya – Mosambi
The twist came when judges revealed that those who picked the Green Apple would become leaders. This gave Manish, Shakib, and Naga Prashanth the leadership roles for the day.
Picking Teams
The three leaders were given a chance to pick cards from the judges, and each card carried a number that decided how many team members they could select.
- Shakib (Navdeep’s card) → 2 members
- Naga Prashanth (Abijith’s card) → 4 members
- Manish (Bindu Madhavi’s card) → 6 members
Based on this, the teams were formed:
- Shakib’s Yellow Team: Pawan Kalyan, Divya Nikitha
- Naga Prashanth’s Red Team: Harish, Priya, Anusha, Srija
- Manish’s Blue Team: Kalki, Dahliya, Shreya, Demon Pawan, Prasanna Kumar, Shwetha
The Brain Teaser Challenge
The highlight of the episode was the logic and puzzle quiz. Contestants had to quickly analyze images, ring the buzzer, and give the right answers. Some key moments included:
- Manish answered “Japan” correctly from the clue “J + Pan.”
- Shakib cracked the movie name “Jersey” from “Jar + Sea.”
- Srija impressed with multiple correct answers, including spotting mistakes and identifying odd ones.
- Divya Nikitha solved a tricky puzzle shown by Bindu.
- Harish gave a correct emoji-based answer but later missed one by ringing the bell without replying.
- Shwetha, Divya, Pawan Kalyan, and Manish lost chances by giving wrong answers.
In the end, Srija’s sharp responses secured victory for Naga Prashanth’s Red Team.
Judgement Time
After the task, the Blue Team led by Manish faced the heat for their weak performance, while the Red Team earned a vote appeal privilege, which they passed on to Priya.
The judges then made their final decisions of the day:
- Manish received the Yellow Card for being the worst performer.
- Naga Prashanth was crowned the Star Performer for leading his team to victory.
