The latest episodes of Bigg Boss Telugu 9 have delivered high drama, emotional moments, and heated arguments inside the house. What started as an exciting captaincy task quickly turned into a controversial episode, leaving both housemates and audiences divided.

Audience Support Shifts
Before the season began, commoner contestants enjoyed strong audience support. Their performance in the Agnipariksha stage impressed viewers, who felt connected to them as “ordinary people with extraordinary determination.”
However, as the days progress inside the house, the behavior and attitude of some commoners have started pushing audience sympathy towards the celebrities.
Manish Under Fire
Maryada Manish has found himself at the center of criticism. During an interaction with Ramu Rathod, his dismissive tone “I don’t trust you, don’t tell me anything” was seen as disrespectful.
The controversy deepened during the captaincy task, where Manish, acting as moderator, was accused of making biased decisions. His elimination of Emmanuel sparked outrage, with housemates openly questioning his fairness.
Sanjana’s Emotional Confession
In a surprising twist, Bigg Boss called Sanjana into the confession room. Speaking candidly, she revealed that she felt cornered by other housemates but remained determined to be herself.
“I smile every day, no matter how much pain I have. That is my challenge,” Sanjana said emotionally.
Moved by her honesty, Bigg Boss rewarded her with a special power the right to select five contestants to compete for the first captaincy. Sanjana chose Harish, Demon Pavan, Emmanuel, and Srashti, alongside herself.
Reactions to Sanjana’s Picks
Sanjana’s decision stirred mixed reactions. While celebrities accepted her choices, commoners felt overlooked. Priya expressed disappointment at being left out, to which Sanjana openly replied that she avoided strong competitors to play safe. This sparked debates about strategy versus fairness in the house.
The Task “Don’t Be Afraid to Let Go”
The captaincy task required supporters to cling to rods fixed on the garden wall. Contestants could eliminate rivals by removing rods strategically. However, as the task unfolded, Emmanuel accused Manish of partiality, arguing that he wasn’t given the same warnings as others.
The clash escalated with heated exchanges, with Manish even suggesting Emmanuel could be easily replaced through a wild card remarks that shocked many housemates.
The episode ended with tempers running high and the task still unresolved. With tensions mounting between commoners and celebrities, all eyes are now on the next episode to see who secures the first captaincy and how the dynamics inside the house will shift.
