The fourth week of Bigg Boss 10 Telugu has kicked off with a high-voltage “Total Domination” theme, and Episode 23 wasted no time in creating friction inside the house. With the contestants divided into Team Bhairava and Team Saptha Shakti, the episode was packed with arguments, physical task moments, injuries, and plenty of accusations.
Apoorva vs Mukesh: Captaincy Becomes the First Flashpoint
The episode began with tensions between Apoorva and Mukesh over household responsibilities and the use of the captain’s room. Mukesh questioned how the rules were being enforced, prompting Apoorva to call a house meeting.
Even after the meeting, the disagreement continued. Apoorva insisted that contestants respect the captain, while Mukesh and Trigun questioned her leadership approach. Trigun openly refused to address her as “Captain Apoorva,” adding another layer to the confrontation.
Shalini Opens Up About Apoorva
Shalini later discussed her differences with Apoorva with Rohith. She felt that Apoorva was deliberately trying to portray her negatively in front of the housemates.
Meanwhile, Trigun and Debjani discussed the earlier developments involving Mithilesh and the Agnipariksha team. The late-night atmosphere also took an unexpected turn when Trigun was seen taking drinks from the captain’s room.
Bigg Boss Introduces the “Total Domination” Game
Bigg Boss then announced the main task for the week. The housemates were split into two teams:
Team Saptha Shakti: Shalini, Shrishti, Charan, Naresh, Trigun, Mukesh and Debjani.
Team Bhairava: The remaining contestants.
The contestants were told that winning the opening battle would come with a special advantage. The first challenge revolved around collecting daggers, with contestants who accumulated more daggers gaining the power to influence their opponents’ game.
Naresh’s Dagger Triggers a Major House Fight
What started as a prank quickly turned serious when Rohith, Sudheer and Ram Prasad lifted Naresh and tried to take his dagger. Naresh was visibly upset by the incident, while the opposing team reacted strongly to what they considered unnecessary physical interference. The incident set the tone for what became an extremely aggressive task.
Rath Construction Task Raises the Stakes
Bigg Boss introduced the next stage of the competition: a three-phase Rath construction challenge. Contestants had to collect bricks, with the team gathering more bricks earning the opportunity to obtain the required parts for constructing the Rath.
Rohith and Shalini were appointed as Sanchalaks. However, they were also allowed to participate in the game, which immediately created confusion over how the rules should be interpreted.
Shalini and Apoorva Clash Again
When Apoorva tried to intervene during the discussion about the rules, Shalini objected. She accused Apoorva of repeatedly interfering in matters that did not concern her.
The disagreement quickly escalated into another heated exchange between the two. Their rivalry has now become one of the major sources of tension in the house.
Shrishti Gets Injured During the Task
The physical intensity of the task soon resulted in an injury. Shrishti hurt her leg, forcing the game to be paused while she received medical attention.
Before heading to the medical room, Shrishti handed her dagger to Shalini for safekeeping. That decision soon became another major point of conflict.
Shrishti’s Dagger Creates a Team War
After noticing that Shalini had Shrishti’s dagger, Apoorva alerted her team. Rohith, Sudheer, Jhansi, and Aman moved toward Shalini to take the dagger.
The Saptha Shakti team strongly objected, arguing that the dagger belonged to an injured contestant who had temporarily left the game for medical treatment. The situation quickly became chaotic as both teams confronted each other.
Trigun and Rohith exchanged strong words during the confrontation, while Shalini also questioned the decision to target her over Shrishti’s dagger.
The opposing side later argued that they were unaware that it was specifically Shrishti’s dagger and maintained that they would not have handled the situation the same way had they known.
Mukesh Gets Injured Too
The physical nature of the game continued to cause problems when Mukesh suffered an injury to his leg during another round.
Shalini accused Aman of playing unfairly, leading to another heated verbal clash between the two. What was supposed to be a strategic team challenge increasingly turned into a battle of personal rivalries.
Team Bhairava Takes the First Victory
After several confrontations and interruptions, Team Bhairava emerged victorious in the first round of the Rath task.
Their win allowed them to place the first component of the Rath, putting them in an advantageous position as the Total Domination battle continues.
