Bigg Boss 9 has turned out to be a season full of emotional bonds, strategic friendships, and unexpected breakups. Social media has humorously dubbed the season “Family Show – Bharani Garu Family,” highlighting how deeply contestants bonded. While almost every friendship eventually cracked, the Sanjjanaa–Emmanuel bond remained solid throughout. Many tried to break it including Tanuja but Sanjjanaa never gave them the chance… until now.
Tanuja’s Plan Finally Works
In the latest episode, Tanuja finally succeeded in damaging the iconic amma–koduku bond. She cleverly created a situation where Sanjjanaa herself unknowingly sidelined Emmanuel, turning the house dynamics upside down. Though Emmanuel, Demon, and Kalyan sensed Tanuja’s strategy and even warned Sanjjanaa, she ignored their advice.
Sanjjanaa Completes Bigg Boss Secret Task
After receiving zero-point boxes from all housemates, Sanjjanaa was sent to jail. Inside, Bigg Boss assigned her a secret task: she had to come out of jail three separate times, regardless of the reason. If she succeeded, she would earn 20 points.
Sanjjanaa executed it smartly: Once claiming the washroom was unclean. Once citing gastric issues and asking for medical room access. A third time with another reason. Thus, she successfully claimed 20 crucial points, leaving housemates puzzled about how she earned them.
Emmanuel Dominates the Task – Leaderboard Updated
A new task required contestants to place pots on pillars of a rotating wheel without dropping them. Immanuel stunned everyone by completing it instantly. Following him, Demon, Suman, Tanuja, Sanjjanaa, and Bharani finished the task, making Bharani the last.
Leaderboard After Task
- Emmanuel – 150 points (Top 1)
- Demon – 120 points
- Suman Shetty – 90
- Tanuja – 90
- Bharani – 90
- Sanjjanaa – 80
Kalyan’s Unexpected Advice Creates Confusion
Bigg Boss then asked housemates to collectively name one contestant to eliminate from the next task. Before Bigg Boss even repeated the question, Kalyan offered unsolicited advice: “If I were still in the game, I would remove the Top 1 player. But since I want Immanuel to win, I won’t take his name.” This statement made housemates think Kalyan was indirectly pushing them to target Emmanuel.
Secret Meeting: Four Housemates Target Emmanuel
Sanjjanaa gathered Bharani, Suman, and Tanuja for a private discussion. The four agreed that eliminating either Immanuel or Demon both in the Top 2 would increase their winning chances.
Bharani, Suman, and Tanuja wanted to remove Emmanuel. Sanjjanaa, however, said she could only name Demon. Tanuja got angry, accusing Sanjjanaa of playing too safe.
Emmanuel and Demon Try to Save Themselves
Emmanuel and Demon pulled Sanjjanaa aside, warning her that: The trio (Bharani, Suman, Tanuja) would definitely vote against one of them. If Sanjjanaa names one among that trio, the others would follow. That would help Sanjjanaa rise in the leaderboard.
But Sanjjanaa refused and insisted on naming Demon. Emmanuel pleaded: “If you name Demon, they will name me. I’ll be out.” Still, Sanjjanaa didn’t budge.
The Vote: Sanjjanaa Gets Shocked
When Bigg Boss asked for votes: Suman, Bharani, Tanuja all named Emmanuel. Sanjjanaa named Demon.
Then came the twist: Demon voted against Sanjjanaa, saying he wanted to compete with Emmanuel. Kalyan also named Sanjjanaa.
Sanjjanaa was stunned. Immanuel reminded her: “This is exactly why I warned you.” Panicked, Sanjjanaa immediately requested to change her vote and chose Emmanuel.
Tanuja Changes Sides Again
As soon as Sanjana flipped her vote, Tanuja also switched her choice: “Since Sanjana changed, I’m also changing. My vote goes to Sanjjanaa.” Sanjjanaa was furious, accusing Tanuja of plotting to eliminate her. Eventually, Immanuel also voted for Sanjjanaa, and Sanjjanaa was eliminated from the next game. Thus, Tanuja successfully sowed conflict between Sanjjanaa and Emmanuel.
Audience Meet: Bigg Boss Surprises Emmanuel and Demon
As the Top 2 contestants, Immanuel and Demon were invited to meet selected audience members in the garden area. A twist followed: Bigg Boss asked the audience: “If a boat is sinking, whom would you save Emmanuel or Demon?”
Two voted for Demon, one for Emmanuel. Then came another round of questioning about “success.” In the end, majority audience support went to Emmanuel, giving him the vote appeal opportunity.
Fun Q&A With the Audience
Who Gets the Cup First—Mom or Lover?
An audience member asked Immanuel whether he’d give the winner’s cup first to his mother or his girlfriend. Emmanuel replied: “First to my mother. I grew up in hostels and didn’t spend enough time with her. After Bigg Boss, I understood family value more. Then I’ll give it to my girl, telling her I achieved it for her.”
Is Stress Making Your Hair Fall?
Another girl joked about his hair fall. Emmanuel laughed: “It was always like this, but after coming here, it has gotten worse!”
Why Do You Have a Soft Corner for Tanuja?
Immanuel explained: “She became close to me early in the show. Because of that bond, I get hurt easily when she says something.”
Will Your Bond With Sanjjanaa Continue Outside?
He answered: “Of course! Even when your mom makes a mistake, you correct her but don’t leave her. Same with Sanjjanaa—our bond continues.”
The episode delivered intense strategy, emotional drama, unexpected betrayals, and heartwarming moments. As Bigg Boss 9 heads towards selecting the second finalist, the competition is fiercer than ever, and alliances are more fragile than they appear.
