The latest week in Bigg Boss Season 9 has been nothing short of dramatic. Ever since Bharani’s re-entry into the house, everyone expected his gameplay to take a new turn and it finally has. While Tanuja and Divya seemed determined to isolate him, Bharani has begun playing a sharper, more individual game. Even host Nagarjuna hinted that playing too safely could cost him his spot, prompting Bharani to reset his strategy completely.
Tanuja Grabs the Safety Badge Again
In the “Ghost House” task, Tanuja once again proved her strength by securing a win for the Orange Team. When Bigg Boss asked the team to decide who deserved the safety badge, Tanuja insisted she should keep it since she played the task solo. After some discussion, Immu and Gaurav agreed, though Gaurav jokingly claimed the next badge for himself if their team won again.
Suman and Divya Complete Their Mission
Bigg Boss later informed Suman Shetty that he and Divya had successfully completed all their secret Rebel tasks. With that, their Rebel duties officially ended. However, Bigg Boss revealed that a new Rebel would soon take over and this time, it was Rithu. Her first secret mission was to pick a fight with a housemate and make it look genuine.
Rithu Targets Immu and Wins the Task
Rithu chose Immu as her target, accusing him of spoiling her team’s performance by voting out Pawan. Their argument escalated quickly, fulfilling her secret mission. As a reward, Bigg Boss gave Rithu the authority to eliminate one contender from the captaincy race. Though she initially named Gaurav, she quickly changed her decision and removed Sai instead leaving the house shocked.
Another Victory for the Orange Team
The next captaincy challenge, “Raise the Flag,” saw intense competition between Orange (Gaurav-Immu), Pink (Divya-Suman), and Blue (Bharani-Rithu) teams. The Orange team dominated once again, continuing their winning streak. Despite putting up a fight, the Blue team couldn’t surpass them, and the Pink team remained the weakest link.
Tanuja’s Tactical Move Creates Tension
Following the win, Bigg Boss asked the Orange team to decide who should receive the safety badge. Tanuja argued that passing the badge between Gaurav and Immu each time would be unfair and insisted on keeping it herself. The decision sparked a heated debate, but in the end, the team agreed to let Gaurav have it.
Bharani’s Bold Statement Turns Heads
As contestants discussed who might be the new Rebel, Bharani confidently declared, “No one in this house can intimidate me. I’ve already faced everything once even death.” The statement, powerful and emotional, quickly became a highlight moment for viewers, signaling Bharani’s renewed confidence since his re-entry.
The Rebel Hunt: Gaurav Eliminated
Bigg Boss then asked housemates to vote for the person they suspected was the Rebel. Tanuja cleverly influenced the group, and the majority voted for Gaurav. As a result, he was eliminated from the captaincy race. Immanuel also received a few votes, but Gaurav’s count was the highest.
New Captaincy Contenders Revealed
Bigg Boss announced that Divya and Suman Shetty, who completed their Rebel missions successfully, would officially become captaincy contenders. Rithu, despite falling short in one task, was given another chance. Ramu opted out voluntarily, leaving Bharani, Tanuja, Rithu, Immanuel, Divya, and Suman as the final six contenders.
Deals, Drama, and Strategy Begin
With the captaincy task approaching, new alliances have started forming. Bharani struck a mutual support deal with Tanuja, while Rithu amusingly approached Sai the same contestant she previously eliminated asking for help. Sai’s witty response lightened the mood but also hinted at the brewing power play ahead.
The next episode promises high drama, emotional confrontations, and strategic gameplay as the captaincy race reaches its peak. Who will emerge as the next captain of the Bigg Boss 9 house? The battle lines are drawn and the house is more divided than ever.
