Bigg Boss Telugu 8 Day 7: How Did Nag Handle the Contestants After the Prize Money Cut?

Bigg Boss 8 Telugu Day 07: Prize Money Cut, Bebakka’s Exit, and More!

As the much-anticipated weekend episode of Bigg Boss 8 Telugu Day 07 unfolded. It was expected to bring thrilling moments, gripping drama, and Nagarjuna’s charismatic hosting to entertain the audience. However, to the viewers’ disappointment, the episode on Saturday felt bland. Despite the high expectations surrounding Nagarjuna’s entry and his commentary on the housemates’ performance. The host couldn’t live up to his usual spark. The fans were left underwhelmed, especially when comparing it to his previous hosting prowess. Sunday’s episode, however, was slightly more exciting with eliminations, games, and unexpected twists.

Vinayaka Chaviti Celebrations and Prize Money Compression

Nagarjuna’s Sunday entry was marked with a touch of devotion. His walked into the tune of a Lord Rama song, perfectly fitting the festive occasion of Vinayaka Chaviti. He was dressed in a stylish green and black ensemble, reminiscent of a Greek god. He captured the festive spirit while subtly promoting Season 8’s infinity theme, given the symbolic significance of the number 8.

As for the contestants, they received a harsh reminder about the rules of the game and their corresponding rewards. Nagarjuna brought up the crucial topic of prize money, teasing the contestants. Already forfeited Rs.5 lakh due to their poor adherence to the house rules. He went on to announce that the starting prize money for the season would be Rs.5 lakh, with the opportunity for the contestants to earn more than Rs.50 lakh as the game progresses. It’s depending on their performance. However, the housemates soon realized that Bigg Boss wasn’t ready to let them off the hook so easily. Because of their repeated infractions, including speaking in languages other than Telugu and violating other house rules. Bigg Boss cut the prize money further, leaving them with just Rs.3 lakh for the first week.

Sleepy Contestants and English Conversations: Where’s the Telugu Spirit?

Nagarjuna then shifted the focus to a humorous but telling video recap of the first week. Which highlighted the excessive sleeping habits of certain contestants. While housemates like Manikantha and Abhay Naveen were showcased for their naps, others, like Shekhar Basha, were conspicuously left out, sparking curiosity. However, the central issue raised in this segment was the overuse of English in the house. It’s raising the question: Is this really Telugu Bigg Boss, or are we watching a hybrid version of Kannada or English Bigg Boss?

Nagarjuna was quick to remind the contestants that the rules of Bigg Boss Telugu were clear: speak in Telugu. The house follow the rules, and refrain from singing Hindi songs. The frequent violation of these basic rules resulted in the prize money cut, with a stern warning that further breaches would result in even more severe penalties.

Basha’s Big Save: The Trumpet Task

As the elimination process approached, tension in the house increased. Among the five nominated contestants—Nagamanikantha, Prithvi, Bebakka, Vishnu Priya, and Shekhar Basha—it was time to see who would be saved first. The contestants were asked to blow a trumpet, with a loud sound signifying safety. To the house’s delight, Shekhar Basha blew his trumpet successfully and was saved, much to his relief.

While Sonia had already been saved in the previous episode, Sunday’s show confirmed Basha’s safety. As the tension mounted for the remaining contestants, Vishnu Priya attempted to blow the trumpet but wasn’t successful, leaving the remaining housemates on edge for the final elimination.

Routine Games: Old Game, New Name

Bigg Boss Telugu 8, known for its quirky tasks, introduced another game, albeit a familiar one. The game, though branded with a new name, felt like a recycled version of Antakshari. This time, it was a battle of genders—boys versus girls—with the housemates tasked with listing the filmography of famous stars.

When it came to Chiranjeevi, Vishnu Priya fumbled, unable to name any of the megastar’s films, which left the audience in disbelief. This was followed by Sita struggling similarly. Despite their stature as Telugu citizens, both participants failed to recall Chiranjeevi’s movies, while Shekhar Basha managed to rattle off titles like a pro. It was clear that the boys had the upper hand, dominating the game with ease.

The next task centered around Balakrishna, where Sonia and Abhay competed. Unsurprisingly, the boys won again, and the girls were left red-faced, unable to keep up. Later, Pawan Kalyan’s films were named during the Aditya Om and Prerna round, with the boys once again emerging victorious. The highlight of the game came when Mahesh Babu’s name was introduced, but even then, Vishnu Priya couldn’t save her team, as the boys led by Manikantha continued their winning streak.

It’s Telugu Bigg Boss, So Know Your Telugu Movies!

The disappointment among viewers was palpable as the contestants struggled to name even the most iconic films from Telugu cinema, raising questions about their knowledge of the industry. Particularly shameful was Sita’s inability to name more than a couple of Chiranjeevi’s films, especially considering her Telugu background. The boys, led by Shekhar Basha, continued to dominate the round, eventually clinching the victory in the game.

Nagarjuna expressed his surprise at the lack of knowledge about such iconic stars, but still gave the girls a sporting chance to redeem themselves. However, the boys’ team, proving themselves well-versed in Telugu cinema, secured the win with five points in total.

Elimination and Bebakka’s Dramatic Exit

Finally, the moment of truth arrived. With Manikantha and Bebakka as the final two nominees, the tension was at its peak. Bebakka, as expected, was eliminated. While her departure may have been somewhat predictable, the way she handled it was far from ordinary. In a dramatic display, Bebakka lashed out at her fellow housemates, dragging them down metaphorically as she exited the house.

Her parting remarks left a lasting impression, as she criticized the housemates for their behavior, indirectly blaming them for her eviction. Whether her exit will stir up more drama in the coming episodes remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Bebakka’s elimination has already caused ripples inside the Bigg Boss house.

Conclusion

Bigg Boss 8 Telugu Day 07 is off to a thrilling start, with tensions rising both inside and outside the house. From prize money cuts and rule violations to nail-biting eliminations, the drama only promises to intensify as the weeks progress. With Nagarjuna at the helm, despite some hits and misses in his hosting, and an eclectic group of contestants. It’s anyone’s guess who will make it to the finale. One thing is for sure—the journey ahead is going to be filled with unexpected twists, fun tasks, and plenty of drama.
