The second week of Bigg Boss Telugu Season 9 saw intense drama during the captaincy task, where strategy and influence overshadowed fair play. While housemates like Emmanuel and Bharani fought genuinely, it was Rithu Chaudhary’s determination that ultimately paved the way for Demon Pawan to become the new captain.

Emmanuel’s Hopes Dashed Again
For the second week in a row, Emmanuel’s captaincy dreams ended in disappointment. In the first week, he lost due to Manish’s mistake, and in the second, he fell victim to biased decisions despite giving his best. His genuine performance couldn’t withstand the politics inside the house.
Twist in the Captaincy Selection
This week, Bigg Boss introduced a twist by allowing tenants to eliminate four of the seven owners from the captaincy race. Initially, many housemates voted against Demon Pawan.
However, Ritu Chaudhary strongly defended him, insisting he was more suitable than Priya and Dammu Sreeja. Her arguments saved Pawan from elimination and shifted the game in his favor.
Shocking Eliminations and Heated Arguments
The eliminations saw Priya, Dammu Sreeja, Harish, and Pawan Kalyan pushed out of the race. Pawan Kalyan, visibly shocked, questioned the decision, only to be silenced by Ritu, who claimed his authoritative nature was unfit for leadership.
The Rangu Paduddi Task
The main contenders Manish, Bharani, Demon, and Emmanuel were asked to compete in the Rangu Paduddi task, with Ritu Chaudhary as the Sanchalak. The game required players to protect their shirts from colors while attacking others.
Manish was the first to be eliminated, followed by Bharani, whose exit raised eyebrows after Ritu accused him of breaking rules. Even when Demon pulled Emmanuel’s T-shirt, Ritu overlooked the foul, turning the blame on Emmanuel instead.
Demon Becomes Captain
Despite Emmanuel’s strong fight, Demon Pawan emerged as the winner, thanks to both his efforts and Ritu’s backing. Bigg Boss congratulated him as the second captain of the house, but whispers inside suggested that while Demon holds the title, the real influence belongs to Ritu Chaudhary.
