The drama inside the Bigg Boss Telugu Season 9 house continues to intensify with every passing episode. Contestant Emmanuel is clearly on a winning streak his performance graph has been soaring since day one. From actively participating in every task to maintaining a healthy bond with everyone in the house, Emmanuel has been playing a strong and balanced game. Recognizing his sincerity and consistency, host Nagarjuna recently awarded him the Golden Star, a rare honour that highlighted his standout journey so far.
However, not everyone seems to be doing equally well. Bharani, who initially entered the house with great enthusiasm, is now witnessing a dip in his game. His graph, which started high, appears to be steadily declining, and the recent episode made it evident as the “Lady Gang” in the house collectively turned against him during the latest nomination process.
Nominations Twist Shocks Everyone
Bigg Boss kick-started the Week 5 nominations with an unexpected twist. Almost everyone in the house ended up on the list except captain Ram. The nominated contestants include Tanuja, Bharani, Rithu, Suman, Divya, Pawan, Srija, Sanjjana, Kalyan, Emmanuel, and Flora.
The announcement left the housemates in shock many couldn’t understand why so many names were called out at once. “This isn’t a chessboard, it’s a battlefield,” one of them remarked, setting the tone for an intense week ahead.
Tension Builds Between Bharani, Divya, and Tanuja
A subtle emotional triangle seems to be forming between Bharani, Divya, and Tanuja. During a private conversation, Bharani asked Divya not to give him his regular tablets anymore, suggesting that Tanuja was becoming uncomfortable with their growing closeness. Divya questioned the logic, saying she has always treated everyone equally and never crossed any boundaries.
The issue seems to stem from Tanuja’s emotional dependency on Bharani she calls him “Nanna” (dad) affectionately and often seeks his attention. Divya’s friendly nature with him appears to have caused Tanuja to feel slightly insecure, leading to visible tension in the house.
Sanjjana Accuses Bharani of Creating Distance
Elsewhere, Sanjana confided in Flora, expressing her disappointment that Bharani had “successfully” created distance between her and Emmanuel. She said that her once-strong bond with Emmanuel had weakened by nearly 40%, accusing Bharani of playing a clever game and intentionally causing misunderstandings.
Bigg Boss Announces Immunity Battle: “The Bed Task”
To add more spice to the week, Bigg Boss introduced a new Immunity Task, turning the garden area into a real battleground. The nominated contestants had to climb onto a giant bed and push others off to stay on top. The contestant who managed to remain on the bed till the end would move closer to winning immunity.
Since Flora was already directly nominated for two weeks and Ram was the captain, both acted as referees for the game. Strong players like Demon, Kalyan, Emmanuel, and Bharani formed a team, planning to strategically target others. However, things quickly turned chaotic.
Round by Round – Drama Unfolds
In the first round, Sanjana became the easy target and was pushed out first, followed by Suman Shetty in the next round. The third round saw major drama as Divya clashed with Kalyan, accusing him and others of playing safe and unfair games. Her fiery speech grabbed attention, but soon after, she too was eliminated from the task.
Deeman’s elimination created controversy when referee Flora ruled against him even though Bharani seemed to have fallen first. This decision caused murmurs of bias among the housemates.
Srija’s Outburst at Bharani
In the later rounds, Bharani forcefully pushed Srija off the bed, accidentally hurting her. This triggered a heated argument. Srija accused Bharani of pretending to be “too decent” and acting like a gentleman for the cameras while playing a manipulative game. “Don’t act like Relangi Mavayya pretending to be good doesn’t make you good,” she snapped, leaving Bharani visibly embarrassed.
Divya’s Emotional Breakdown
After the task, emotions ran high as Divya broke down in front of Bharani, expressing how deeply hurt she was that he didn’t stand up for her during the task. Fighting back tears, she said: “I trusted you all, but when I needed support, you stood silent. Maybe I expect too much. But when someone I care about doesn’t even defend me, it hurts.” Her breakdown added a heavy emotional layer to the episode, and Bharani was left speechless, unable to console her.
Second Immunity Challenge – “Air, Fire, Water”
Bigg Boss soon introduced another immunity challenge named “Air, Fire, Water.” Contestants had to complete three levels of tasks blowing paper planes through straws, igniting fire using a hammer on marked points, and transferring water from a drum to a fish tank to retrieve a brick.
The contestant who completed all stages first and successfully balanced the collected bricks on a stand would win immunity. Rithu and Sanjjana were appointed as referees for this task.
Emmanuel Clinches Immunity
In this physically demanding challenge, Emmanuel once again proved his consistency and focus. He swiftly completed all three stages, balanced the bricks perfectly, and rang the bell before anyone else. With this victory, Emmanuel secured immunity for the week, joining captain Ram as the only two safe contestants. The rest of the housemates remain in the danger zone for elimination.
The latest episode of Bigg Boss Telugu Season 9 was a perfect mix of strategy, emotion, and drama. Emmanuel continues to emerge as one of the strongest and most composed players in the house, while Bharani’s image takes a beating amid conflicts and accusations. Divya’s heartfelt emotional breakdown showcased her vulnerability, striking a chord with the audience.
