Bigg Boss 10 Telugu Episode 45, which aired on October 20, delivered yet another round of intense arguments during the second day of Week 7 nominations. Contestants traded personal remarks, questioned each other’s game strategies, and dragged past incidents into the spotlight. From Trigun and Rohith’s ongoing rivalry to Varshini’s fiery confrontation with Neethu, the episode was packed with drama. The nomination task also featured some unexpected decisions, witty counters from Ramakrishna, and a crucial final move by captain Ram Prasad, who nominated Aman Masood using his special power. By the end of the episode, a total of 12 contestants had landed on the nomination list.
Trigun approached Vamsi and discussed Rohith’s expectations regarding the nominations. According to Trigun, Rohith had expected Vamsi to leave the house while Shalini remained in the competition, but Vamsi’s early save reportedly disrupted that expectation.
Vamsi responded confidently, saying he believed Rohith was more likely to be eliminated before him and that he deserved to stay in the house. Meanwhile, Varshini joined the conversation and questioned Neethu’s criticism of her gameplay, arguing that contestants who accused others of not playing the game should also be evaluated on their own performance.
Sudheer spoke to Rohith about Shalini’s exit and encouraged him to make the most of the situation, suggesting that Rohith now had an opportunity to play without holding himself back. Rohith agreed that he was ready to enter attacking mode and said he had nothing left to lose, though he clarified that he did not consider Shalini’s departure a positive development, describing her as his recharge point in the house. His comments indicated that Shalini had played an important role in keeping him emotionally motivated throughout the competition.
The nomination proceedings began with Aman Masood choosing Shiv as his target. Aman criticised Shiv and suggested that he had entered the house after watching only the one-hour television episodes rather than understanding the complete 24-hour game. Shiv immediately hit back, pointing out that viewers outside the house also watched the televised episodes before voting and arguing that watching the live feed was not a requirement for understanding the game.
Aman then accused Shiv of creating conflicts between contestants and stepping aside, describing the behaviour as a possible game plan. Shiv rejected the allegation, explaining that he wanted to build close relationships with everyone rather than deliberately manipulate situations.
In a surprising move, Shwetha nominated Trigun, stating that she had initially expected him to play more openly and confidently. She questioned his actions during the captaincy contender process and accused him of engaging in unfair gameplay, saying that a contestant who talks about winning the trophy should not resort to actions she considers a betrayal of trust.
Trigun responded by acknowledging that his image had taken a hit inside the house and insisted that he had not entered the competition to become either a hero or a villain. Instead, he claimed that his strategy was to entertain the audience for as long as he remained in the house.
One of the episode’s most intense confrontations unfolded when Varshini nominated Neethu. Varshini questioned Neethu’s accusations against her and challenged her to follow the same rules she expected others to respect, pointing out that Neethu had previously spoken about keeping outside matters out of the house but was now making allegations herself.
Varshini also brought up Neethu’s comments about her gameplay and her association with Mukesh, arguing that Neethu had no authority to dictate how she should play the game. The argument escalated when Varshini called Neethu a “big flower” rather than a “wildfire,” mocking the image Neethu had projected. She also accused Neethu of interfering in Rohith and Shalini’s relationship and contributing to their separation. The exchange became one of the biggest highlights of the nomination episode.
Sudheer nominated Ramakrishna, but the latter did not hold back while responding to the housemates during the proceedings, and his calm yet pointed remarks added another layer of entertainment to the episode. Trigun subsequently nominated Sudheer, accusing him of breaking a promise involving his family and describing his gameplay as dishonest, saying he did not want someone who played in that manner to remain in the house.
Sudheer fired back by claiming that he had repeatedly warned other contestants not to trust Trigun, questioning Trigun’s credibility and arguing that his comments about ethics were contradictory. Their exchange once again brought their differences into the spotlight.
Ramakrishna later nominated Jhansi, criticising her performance in the house. He acknowledged that she had performed well during Agnipariksha but argued that she had not delivered the same level of gameplay after entering Bigg Boss.
He accused her of relying on sympathy and becoming emotional frequently, and also questioned her emotional responses, including her act of touching another contestant’s feet. Jhansi, meanwhile, made remarks about Trigun that caught everyone’s attention, claiming that Trigun had made several mistakes in the house and that other contestants had suffered because of his actions. She then questioned why Ramakrishna had touched someone’s feet when Trigun himself had not done so. The discussion took a humorous turn as Trigun asked why the others were dragging him into their arguments, and his reaction left the housemates laughing and briefly eased the tension.
Mukesh selected Vamsi for nomination, adding another name to the growing list of contestants facing the threat of elimination. With several housemates already involved in heated exchanges, the nomination process continued to expose divisions within the house, and personal differences and disagreements over gameplay remained the dominant themes throughout the episode.
The final major development came when Bigg Boss handed captain Ram Prasad a special power. He was instructed to nominate one contestant directly from the group of housemates who had escaped the regular nominations, and the eligible contestants were Naresh, Debjani, Aman Masood and Mukesh. Ram Prasad chose Aman Masood. Explaining his decision, the captain advised Aman to make his own decisions instead of relying on others, and he also referred to the host’s earlier advice while justifying his choice. The decision placed Aman in the danger zone and completed the Week 7 nomination list.
The 12 contestants nominated for elimination were Dakshi, Varshini, Rohith, Sudheer, Trigun, Neethu, Ramakrishna (RK), Shiv, Jhansi, Shwetha, Vamsi and Aman Masood. Debjani, Naresh, Mukesh and Ram Prasad were the four contestants who escaped nominations in this episode.
