Bigg Boss Telugu Season 8 is progressing with intense drama, filled with unexpected twists and shocks as the days go by. The nominations process for the 8th week, which started on Monday, extended into Tuesday, bringing even more suspense. Meanwhile, unofficial voting polls circulating online have gained traction on social media. Here’s a breakdown of how the voting is going, who’s leading the race, and who is in the danger zone.
During Monday’s episode, the following nominations took place: Rohini nominated Nikhil and Prithvi; Prithvi nominated Rohini and Prerna; Nayani Pavani nominated Mehboob and Nikhil; Hariteja nominated Prerna and Mehboob; and Nabeel nominated Prerna and Hariteja. Hariteja received a nomination shield, and Bigg Boss warned that every time she is nominated, ₹50,000 will be deducted from the prize money. Despite this, Mehboob still nominated her, reducing the prize money.
In Tuesday’s episode, a heated discussion arose among the housemates regarding a possible issue between Prithvi and Vishnupriya. After everyone weighed in, Prithvi had a private conversation with Vishnupriya, saying they should put an end to the matter. Later, Nabeel consoled a distressed Vishnupriya, assuring her that she would find a good husband.
Once the issue settled, Bigg Boss resumed the nominations. Prerna nominated Vishnupriya and Prithvi; Gangavva nominated Nikhil and Vishnupriya; Nikhil nominated Mehboob and Nayani Pavani; Yashmiga nominated Vishnupriya and Mehboob; Avinash nominated Prithvi and Nikhil; and Tasty Teja nominated Vishnupriya and Prithvi. With two housemates nominating Hariteja, Bigg Boss announced that ₹1 lakh would be deducted from the prize money. However, Gautam was given the chance to save one nominated contestant, and he chose to save Hariteja.
As a result, six contestants were nominated for elimination this week: Nikhil, Prerna, Mehboob, Nayani Pavani, Vishnupriya, and Prithvi Raj. Looking at the unofficial online voting, Prerna has surprisingly taken the top spot with 28.6% of the votes. Nikhil, despite seeming weaker in the game, secured second place with 26.2% of the votes.
Following them are Vishnupriya with 18.5%, Prithvi Raj with 12.2%, Nayani Pavani with 11.2%, and Mehboob with 10.6%. Prithvi, who was in the danger zone in earlier voting rounds, has improved his ranking, landing in fourth place. Currently, Nayani Pavani and Mehboob are in the danger zone. As the voting lines close, it remains to be seen who will be safe and who will face elimination.
