Bigg Boss 10 Telugu Episode 52, aired on October 27, delivered intense arguments, emotional drama, and a nomination task that turned into a battle of egos. While Trigun and Varshini continued their emotional confrontation, Mukesh Gowda became the center of attention during the judges’ discussions, repeatedly interrupting contestants and clashing with fellow housemates.
The latest nomination process ended with eight contestants landing in the danger zone for Week 8. Here is a look at the major highlights from the episode.
Trigun and Varshini Continue Their Emotional Drama
The episode picked up from the previous day’s nomination drama, with Trigun visibly upset over Varshini’s elimination from the task. He expressed concern about how he would explain his decision to her family and questioned why he was putting himself through so much emotional pressure in the house.
Trigun also spoke about his reasons for participating in the show, saying he wanted to make a name for himself and support his family. Vamsi and Swetha stepped in to console him.
Varshini, meanwhile, questioned whether the person she knew was really the same Trigun she was seeing in the house. Although she insisted that she had accepted his nomination and was not upset about it, she continued to express disappointment over his decision.
Their emotional exchange once again became a major talking point, with both contestants struggling to move past the nomination.
Mukesh Gowda Becomes the Centre of the Judges’ Panel Drama
For the second phase of nominations, Bigg Boss selected Mukesh Gowda, Trigun, Aman, Debjani and Neetu as judges. Their responsibility was to decide which three contestants from the Yellow Level would receive nomination privileges, based on their arguments and points.
The judges also had to choose a permanent judge, with the remaining members serving on a rotating basis.
Trigun and Aman put forward their claims for the permanent position, while Mukesh argued that he was the most suitable candidate because of his common sense. After the discussion, Neetu was initially chosen as the permanent judge.
However, the arrangement quickly became chaotic. Rather than focusing solely on the contestants being nominated, the judges themselves became embroiled in arguments over who had the authority to make decisions.
Naresh Nominates Varshini and Jhansi
Naresh was the first contestant selected from the Yellow Level to present his nomination points. He nominated Varshini and Jhansi, questioning their performances in the house.
Varshini defended herself by arguing that Bigg Boss was not simply a game show but also a test of personality. She pointed out that she had recently undergone surgery and suggested that her performance would have been different if she had been physically fit.
Shiva supported the argument that contestants could demonstrate their personalities through tasks as well.
Naresh also nominated Jhansi, claiming that her emotional moments could be perceived as a sympathy-driven game. Jhansi rejected the suggestion that she cried frequently, explaining that everyone experiences emotions and that tears are a natural response to distress.
After discussing the arguments, the judges accepted the points against Varshini but rejected those raised against Jhansi. As a result, Varshini was nominated.
Neetu and Mukesh Lock Horns Over Their Reactions
The tension escalated when Mukesh and Neetu disagreed over the judges’ decisions. Their discussion quickly turned personal, with both exchanging sharp remarks and challenging each other’s behavior.
Neetu warned Mukesh against speaking to her in a certain manner, while Mukesh responded that he could react just as strongly. Their argument included pointed gestures and repeated demands for the other person to lower their hand.
The confrontation added another layer of drama to an already heated nomination process. Eventually, the judges selected Aman as the permanent judge, changing the dynamics of the panel once again.
Shiva Takes on Vamsi and Sudheer
Shiva received the opportunity to nominate two contestants and chose Vamsi and Sudheer.
While explaining his decision against Vamsi, Shiva referred to an earlier incident involving Mukesh, prompting an angry reaction from the latter. Mukesh objected to his name being brought into the discussion and demanded that Shiva focus on his own nomination points.
Debjani intervened and asked Mukesh not to interrupt. Mukesh, however, responded sharply to her as well, leading to further friction among the judges.
Shiva maintained that Vamsi had not defended himself effectively during the earlier incident. He also argued that Mukesh’s behaviour during the discussion reflected a double standard.
Shiva then turned his attention to Sudheer, accusing him of playing a safe game and avoiding direct confrontations. He described Sudheer as a back-foot player who lacked consistency.
Sudheer responded confidently, telling Shiva to keep quiet before exchanging a few sharp remarks with him. Shiva answered with his own punchlines, turning their nomination discussion into a verbal showdown.
After deliberations, the judges decided to save Vamsi and approve Sudheer’s nomination.
Ram Prasad Nominates Shiva and Swetha
Ram Prasad was next given the chance to nominate two contestants. He chose Shiva and Swetha, presenting his reasons before the judges.
Once again, Mukesh entered the discussion and questioned the arguments being made. His repeated interventions frustrated the other judges, who suggested that he take over the role if he wanted to control every discussion.
Mukesh declined, saying he was not interested in doing so.
Following the discussion, the judges decided to save Swetha and approve Shiva’s nomination. Shiva’s growing list of clashes continued to make him one of the prominent contestants in the nomination proceedings.
Rohith and Ramakrishna Put Naresh and Varshini in the Danger Zone
The nomination process moved to the Red Level, where contestants were given individual opportunities to nominate housemates.
Rohith chose Naresh, questioning his earlier criticism of Varshini for allegedly not giving her full effort. Rohith argued that Naresh’s remarks were unfair and that he should not undermine himself by making such comments.
Naresh chose not to offer a detailed counterargument, suggesting that he took Rohith’s observation as a compliment.
Ramakrishna subsequently nominated Varshini. The judges agreed with the points he presented and approved her nomination, putting her at further risk of elimination.
Jhansi and Swetha Make Their Moves
Jhansi was allowed to nominate Shiva. She brought up the incident in which Shiva had beaten his thigh during a confrontation, prompting Shiva to clarify the context behind his reaction.
Later, Swetha nominated Jhansi. After comparing the arguments presented by both contestants, the judges agreed with Swetha’s points and placed Jhansi in the nominations.
The decisions further reshaped the Week 8 nomination list, with several contestants now facing the possibility of leaving the house.
Bigg Boss Rebukes Mukesh for Ignoring Instructions
Towards the end of the episode, Bigg Boss instructed the judges to discuss and select one contestant for direct nomination.
Instead of consulting the judges, Mukesh began discussing the matter with members of the Red Team. This prompted Bigg Boss to question whether the instructions had been understood.
Mukesh responded sarcastically that he understood them now. Bigg Boss immediately corrected him, pointing out that contestants needed to listen first if they wanted to understand the instructions.
The exchange highlighted the growing tension surrounding Mukesh’s conduct during the nomination task.
After the judges completed their final discussion, they selected Vamsi for direct nomination.
