This week’s Bigg Boss Telugu 9 nomination episode turned into a storm of emotions and confrontation. What began as a simple task quickly evolved into one of the most intense episodes of the season, filled with tears, arguments, and shocking decisions. The emotional tug-of-war between Tanuja, Bharani, and Divya dominated the entire show.
From Sweet Bond to Silent War: Tanuja and Bharani Drift Apart
In the early days of Bigg Boss 9, Tanuja calling Bharani “Nanna” felt heartwarming to fans. Their bond appeared strong and affectionate until Divya entered the equation.
Her growing closeness with Bharani caused visible tension. Over time, misunderstandings deepened, and this once-endearing friendship began to crack. By the time nominations arrived, it was clear things would never be the same again.
Bigg Boss Introduces a Twisted Nomination Task
Bigg Boss designed a unique nomination format called “Your Future Is in Your Hands.” Contestants had to pick dolls featuring housemates’ photos. The last to reach the safe zone and the contestant whose photo they held both faced nomination danger. Divya was appointed as the first-round supervisor, setting the stage for chaos.
Round One Drama: Sanjana vs. Rithu Ends in Tears
Sanjana finished last, accidentally picking her own photo. Bigg Boss asked Divya to swap her doll with another contestant’s she chose Rithu. The two had to debate who deserved to stay. Rithu’s confident defense impressed Divya, who saved her and nominated Sanjana.
Moments later, Sanjana broke down emotionally, recalling how Rithu once sacrificed her hair for her. Despite Rithu consoling her, Sanjana continued to cry, leading to laughter and comments from other housemates, including a light-hearted remark from Gaurav.
Suman Shetty’s Noble Gesture: Self-Nomination for Tanuja
The next round brought a touching moment. Suman Shetty ended up with Tanuja’s doll but refused to nominate her, calling her a strong player. Instead, he voluntarily nominated himself, saying, “I’d rather go than nominate her again.” His emotional decision left everyone in shock. Sanjana, acting as supervisor, finalized his nomination.
Rule Change Sparks More Confusion
Frustrated with repeated mistakes, Bigg Boss modified the rules. Now, the last contestant to reach the safe zone had to nominate someone, and the person whose photo they held would also nominate another contestant. Among the two, one would face direct nomination. The change brought even more tension into the game.
Major Showdown: Bharani vs. Tanuja
The long-expected clash finally happened. Bharani defended his gameplay, claiming he helped Tanuja win multiple tasks. Tanuja countered that Bharani’s focus had shifted from the game to personal bonds.
In a shocking decision, Divya the round’s judge nominated Bharani, marking a turning point in the house’s dynamics and officially ending their friendship.
Tanuja and Emmanuel Lock Horns
Tanuja next nominated Emmanuel, accusing him of playing too safe. Emmanuel shot back fiercely, saying she only stayed in the game because of others’ support. Their heated argument drew everyone’s attention before Demon, the round’s in-charge, decided to save Emmanuel and nominate Kalyan instead.
Sai Fires Back: “I Don’t Beg, I Fight”
Later, Sai nominated Tanuja, directly mocking her emotional tactics. “You beg for support, I fight my battles,” he said, sparking a fiery exchange. Despite Sai’s aggression, Demon chose to save Tanuja and nominate Sai, keeping her in the game for another week.
Captain Divya Drops a Bombshell
As the house captain, Divya was given the power to directly nominate one contestant. Without hesitation, she named Tanuja, claiming, “You think Bharani gives me more importance — that’s your misconception.”
Tanuja accused Divya of making a personal move, but Divya hit back strongly, calling her gameplay manipulative and sympathy-driven. Their war of words became one of the most talked-about moments of the season.
Final Nomination List: Seven Faces on the Line
By the end of the high-voltage episode, seven contestants were up for eviction this week:

Will old friendships heal, or has the damage gone too deep? One thing is certain the upcoming eviction will be nothing short of explosive.
