The drama inside the Bigg Boss 10 Telugu house has taken a fresh turn in Episode 39, with the wildcard contestants bringing new energy, unexpected opinions, and heated confrontations into the game. Following the conclusion of the nominations process, the housemates are now battling it out in the captaincy race, where strategies and personal differences are becoming increasingly evident.
With six contestants facing possible elimination this week, the latest episode delivered plenty of arguments, surprising judgments, and a major showdown involving Shalini, Shivakumar, and Ramakrishna.
Six Contestants Land in the Danger Zone
The nominations process, which stretched across two days, finally came to an end with six contestants facing the threat of elimination. Shalini, Varshini, Vamshi, Ram Prasad, Aman, and Rohith have been nominated this week.
Their fate now rests with the audience, and the upcoming weekend episode is expected to reveal who will leave the house. Meanwhile, the remaining contestants have shifted their focus towards the captaincy task, adding another layer of competition to the ongoing game.
Wildcard Contestants Put OG Housemates Under the Scanner
The latest task gave the wildcard contestants an opportunity to reveal what they really think about the original housemates. Bigg Boss asked the wildcard team, known as Wild Fires, to assign personality tags to the OG contestants based on their behaviour inside the house.
The labels quickly became a talking point, with several contestants receiving brutally honest assessments.
- Rohith – Drama King: Swetha Naidu assigned Rohith this tag, questioning the way he presents himself during conflicts.
- Trigun – Manipulator: Trigun was labelled as someone who could influence situations and people to his advantage.
- Ram Prasad – Cunning: The wildcard team viewed Ram Prasad as a contestant who plays strategically.
- Debjani – Safe Player: She was described as someone who prefers to play cautiously.
- Jhansi – Backstabber: This tag suggested doubts about her loyalty and approach towards fellow housemates.
- Shalini – Victim Card: Shalini received one of the most controversial labels of the task, triggering a fresh round of arguments.
The task was not simply about assigning tags. The OG teams had to identify which contestant had been associated with each label. Every correct guess helped them score points, while the wildcard team had to protect its position in the competition.
Vamshi and Ram Prasad Make Correct Guesses
The guessing game got underway with Sudheer and Vamshi competing during the first buzzer round. Although Sudheer won that particular contest, the option he selected turned out to be incorrect.
Shivakumar suggested that Jhansi had been tagged as the backstabber. However, Vamshi correctly identified Trigun as the contestant labelled a manipulator, earning a valuable point for his team.
Ram Prasad also managed to identify Shalini as the housemate who had received the victim-card tag. These correct guesses added more intensity to a task in which every point could influence the teams’ chances of progressing.
As the game continued, the labels began to spark more than just strategic discussions, setting the stage for a personal confrontation.
Shalini’s Victim-Card Tag Sparks a Heated Argument
The biggest controversy of the episode revolved around Shalini and the victim-card label. Shivakumar openly explained why he believed the tag suited her, referring to previous incidents involving Neethu and Ramakrishna.
According to Shivakumar, Shalini had exaggerated certain situations and made relatively minor incidents appear more serious than they were. He also brought up the incident involving Ramakrishna, arguing that although Ramakrishna had pushed her, he did not believe the action was forceful enough to cause the kind of reaction Shalini displayed.
Shivakumar further claimed that the situation escalated to the point where Ramakrishna became frustrated and ended up holding Shalini’s feet.
His comments immediately intensified the atmosphere in the house, as the discussion moved away from the task and towards the contestants’ past disagreements.
Shalini Hits Back at Shivakumar and Ramakrishna
Shalini was quick to defend herself against the accusations. She questioned whether she had ever asked Ramakrishna to hold her feet and denied deliberately playing the victim card.
By challenging Shivakumar’s version of events, Shalini made it clear that she did not agree with the way her actions were being interpreted by the other contestants.
The exchange soon turned into a verbal battle, with both sides standing firmly by their respective positions. What began as a personality-tagging exercise had now reopened old grievances, leaving the house divided over how Shalini’s behaviour should be viewed.
Rohith Clashes With Shivakumar
Shalini was not the only contestant caught up in the day’s arguments. Rohith also confronted Shivakumar during the discussion, telling him to stop acting and expressing his frustration with his behaviour.
The sharp remark added another layer of tension to an already heated episode. With multiple contestants openly questioning one another’s intentions, the task became a platform for unresolved issues to spill into the open.
The growing friction suggests that the wildcard contestants’ opinions could have a lasting impact on relationships inside the house.
Captaincy Race Adds More Pressure
The captaincy competition has already begun, with Bigg Boss dividing the housemates into three teams. The wildcard contestants have been given a significant advantage by being placed directly in the captaincy contender race.
However, securing that position does not guarantee success. They must protect their chairs, maintain their points, and stay ahead of the other two teams to remain in contention for captaincy.
The opinion-tagging task was designed to test both observation and strategy. While the OG contestants attempted to decode the wildcard team’s judgments, the wildcard members had to defend their points and prevent their rivals from gaining an advantage.
With the captaincy battle underway, the competition is becoming as much about understanding fellow housemates as it is about winning tasks.
Bigg Boss 10 Telugu Episode 39: What to Expect Next?
Episode 39 delivered a mix of competitive gameplay, personal accusations, and confrontations that could influence the house dynamics in the coming days. Shalini’s victim-card tag emerged as the central talking point, while the clashes involving Shivakumar, Ramakrishna, and Rohith kept tensions running high.
At the same time, the wildcard contestants’ entry appears to be changing the balance of power, forcing the OG housemates to rethink their strategies.
With six contestants nominated and the captaincy race gaining momentum, the upcoming episodes promise more twists, rivalries, and unexpected developments. The biggest question now is whether Shalini can overcome the criticism surrounding her gameplay and who will ultimately emerge as the next captain of the Bigg Boss 10 Telugu house.
