Today’s episode of Bigg Boss Telugu 9 Agnipariksha unfolded with laughter, playful banter, and a competitive spirit. What began as a light-hearted guessing game soon turned into a day of intense challenges, emotional highs, and defining leadership moments.

Mini Pariksha: Testing Estimation Skills
The morning kicked off with a mini pariksha, where contestants had to estimate the weight and size of different objects and grocery items. Each round crowned a new leader, who then formed their own team.
Round 1 – Murmuras Challenge
The first item was a pack of murmuras (puffed rice). The target was 250 grams, but contestants had to stay under the limit. Srija came closest with 210 grams, earning her the first leadership spot. She picked Pavan Kalyan and Priya for her Green Team.
Round 2 – Tallest Sugarcane Stem
Contestants then selected sugarcane stems, aiming for the tallest. Shakib made the best choice and became the second leader. He chose Pavan and Divya for his Yellow Team.
Round 3 – Counting Straws
The next task was to guess the total number of straws. Both Harish and Naga Prashanth came very close, but Harish was finalized as leader. He teamed up with Prasanna Kumar and Kalki to form the Red Team.
Round 4 – Heaviest Potato
In this round, contestants had to find the heaviest potato. Shwetha’s guess proved accurate, making her the leader. She selected Naga Prashanth and Anusha for her Blue Team.
Round 5 – Leadership by Voting
The remaining three Manish, Dahliya, and Shreya couldn’t agree on a leader. Judges left the decision to other contestants, who voted for Shreya. Emotional yet determined, she accepted leadership and headed the Black & White Team.
Dazller All Day Challenge
As part of the sponsor task, contestants faced the Dazller Challenge. Kalki, Priya, Prasanna, and Shakib participated, with Kalki and Prasanna emerging as winners, taking home special gifts.
The Main Agnipariksha: Balloon and Rod Task
The spotlight of the episode was the Balloon and Rod Challenge. Contestants had to carefully remove rods from a net without causing the black balloon to fall. Any team whose member dropped the balloon would be eliminated.
- Round 1: Despite cautious moves by Priya, Harish, Manish, and Shakib, a mistake from Shwetha led to the Blue Team’s exit.
- Round 2: Though most played smartly, Kalki’s slip eliminated the Red Team.
- Round 3: Careful moves from Dahliya, Priya, and Shakib weren’t enough—Srija’s error knocked out the Green Team.
- Final Round: It came down to Shreya’s Black & White Team vs. Shakib’s Yellow Team. Both teams fought hard, but Divya’s miscalculation cost Shakib’s team the game, leaving Shreya’s team victorious.

- Winning Team: Shreya’s Black & White Team
- Vote Appeal Chance: Dahliya (from the winning team)
- Worst Performer: Shwetha (received the yellow card)
