The Telugu Bigg Boss season 2 house has now warmed up for the second half of the reality show and contestants, once considered strong contenders, are now leaving the house. Another week and another elimination. The Telugu Bigg Boss season 2 house has now warmed up for the second half of the reality show and 64 days later, contestants once considered strong are now leaving the house. While many evictions so far have been rather emotional, this week's was a pleasant goodbye. As Nani announced Babu Gogineni as the eliminated contestant of week nine, housemates sent him off with much respect and gave an ode to the debate master that he is. Here's how week nine also got back bruising tasks and divided opinions: Wounded nominations There was much mayhem in the house with this week's nomination task. Contestants were asked to participate in a race of sorts and run into a toy house. All the housemates were required to enter the toy house six times and the last one to walk in at each round would be nominated. Needless to say, the six rounds saw contestants getting wounded, tripping and what not. While the task left Deepthi the most injured, the determined lady still couldn't escape nomination. It was a close call in the last round between Roll Rida and Deepthi and Roll happened to be the protected one. At the end of this race to eviction, Babu, Tanish, Geetha, Syamala, Ganesh and Deepthi were nominated. Men vs Women The real task of the week however began with the house getting divided yet again, and this time the men were up against the women. With Bigg Boss handing over 50 gold coins each to the teams, housemates were now occupying their given areas and demanding money to acquire services and access to the occupied spaces of the house. But thanks to Kaushal, the task began on both a stressful and competitive note. Kaushal happened to steal the gold coins of the girls, even before the task had began, leaving them with zero balance to perform the task. This led to a divide in the boys team itself, with many going against Kaushal's decision — largely considered unfair play. The same incident also brough out a very angry Pooja and disappointed members from the girls team. Several tasks like Kabaddi, quizzes, cooking and mind games later, it was time to count the gold coins. The boys happened to outplay the girls in most tasks but a change of events in the end was expected to benefit the ladies. The men handed over the coins stolen from the girls, in the name of fair play, leaving the spotlight on Kaushal. An angry Kaushal went on to give away few more coins of his own, but voiced this as a lesson to team members, about being more attentive to tasks. Despite all the ruckus and coin donations, the men still managed to win this two-day long task, but with a difference just five coins. Paint it red Tanish and Deepthi were chosen as the strongest from both the teams and were now up for captaincy. The captaincy task got them painting a board and the one who dominated the board with their colour and had the most amount of paint left in their bucket, were to take over as captain of week 10. While Tanish already seemed to be one point ahead of Deepthi, thanks to choosing red, Deepthi who chose blue, was applauded for putting up a very equal fight, both physically and mentally with Tanish. Two hours later, the two housemates were drenched in paint from top to bottom and plenty of wrestling later, Tanish was declared as the winner by Deepthi Sunaina, the referee of the task. The social media star was undoubtedly questioned of bias, because of her friendship with Tanish, but had most of the housemates backing her this time around for taking a wise decision. The week also saw most contestants get emotional about the big fat family that they have become now and emphasising on Bigg Boss being the best experience of their lives. Weekend lessons Nani, who is not only the host, but also comes across as an advisory board of sorts for the housemates, took over in the weekend once again, making us laugh and contemplate the dynamics of the game. While Nani praised Deepthi's efforts at every task ever, the actor also chose to remind contestants like Tanish, Geetha and Nutan about their purpose in the show. After some sound takes on each contestant and also many entertaining tasks for a perfect Sunday evening, it was time for the audience to gear up for the eviction. While Double Dhamaka weekend is not here yet, Nani called out Babu this week. The contestant left the audience laughing after assigning a week long bathroom cleaning bomb to Roll and bidding goodbye to his fellow housemates with humble messages.<doc-sep>In the latest episode of Bigg Boss Telugu 2 Nani invited actor Vijaya Devarakonda and director Parasuram into the show. Nani along with Vijay called Sunaina into the confession room and assigned her a secret task. She had to enact with the housemates as per the directives of Nani and Vijay. The duo successfully directed Sunaina into making Tanish take a dip in the swimming pool and then do silly yet bizarre acts.Talking to the housemates later, Nani and Vijay revealed that it was a prank by them. In his interaction with the housemates, Vijay spoke about the house, the show and lastly about his recent release. The housemates also danced to the popular number from the film. Nani mentioned that the housemates completed 70 days of stay in the house. Director Parasuram conveyed his best wishes to the inmates. Vijay and Parasuram signed off with positive remarks.The housemates were taken aback by the announcement of eviction as they assumed a no eviction scenario this week since Nutan Naidu is out due to a shoulder injury.

The housemates bid an emotional adieu to Sunaina.Nani welcomed her into the studio and played the audio visual of Sunaina’s journey in the house.Sunaina wished luck to Tanish and Samrat.

Before taking the final exit, Sunaina dropped the ‘Bigg Bomb’ on Tanish, according to which, he has to jump into the pool and dance for the wake-up song every morning.<doc-sep>On Sunday’s episode of Nani’s Bigg Boss 2 Telugu, Kaushal’s fans proved him right by voting Babu Gogineni out of the house. When Tejaswi was evicted from the house, Kaushal had claimed that anyone who was against him would face the consequences inside the Bigg Boss house. Kaushal who was initially fine with Babu began to have problems with him once the latter began to support Tejaswi and Tanish openly. Especially the week before last, Kaushal had nominated Babu citing Babu’s opposition to SS Rajamouli as a reason. Following this, Babu and Kaushal began to have issues in the house. The two of them began to speak ill of each other to the other housemates. Babu did not want Kaushal to remain in the house and Kaushal felt that Babu was not being honest. This reflected on Twitter when Kaushal’s huge fan base began to troll Babu and decided to vote out Babu and Tanish.

Kaushal, on the other hand, seemed ecstatic. He was busy taking selfies and did not really interact with Babu before he left the house. Once he left the house, Babu was allowed to give a message to two housemates in the Bigg Boss house. He told Sunainaa that he has come to have a lot of affection for her and her childishness actually made his experience in the house enjoyable. Babu also confessed that he was a fan of Samrat and told Samrat to remain the same as he was and wished him luck. The episode concluded after Babu threw the Bigg Bomb on Roll Rida, who has to clean the washroom for the coming week.

72 days later, the Bigg Boss Telugu house enters its last month of twists and drama. The Bigg Boss Telugu house saw not one but two disheartening exits this week. While Nutan Naidu exited the house mid week due to a shoulder injury, leaving Kaushal disturbed, Deepthi Sunaina — everyone's favourite kid — departed as the evicted one of week 11. Apart from emotional goodbyes, the week also saw plenty of entertainment, fun guest apperances and heart warming bonds develop in the house. This weekend, Nani was joined by Vijay Deverakonda and Parusuram — the Geetha Govindam team who have been basking in the success of the film. The duo, along with the host, put together quite a fun Sunday night for the Telugu audience, before it was time for another housemate to leave the house. Here's how activities in the house unfolded this week: Captain's nomination This week's nomination task was quite the tricky one. The captain of the house, Tanish, and Amit (thanks to his 2 week safe card) — were given the task of choosing all the nominees for elimination. Each housemate was asked to pair up with another and justify their stint in the house. The end call was left to Tanish and Amit, leaving the two under severe pressure. It was Samrat and Pooja, Nutan and Deepthi, Sunaina and Syamala, Geetha and Kaushal, Roll and Ganesh. While Roll sacrificed his nomination for a promise he made to Ganesh, few weeks ago, it was quite a close call between most others. The final ones to be nominated were — Pooja, Nutan, Sunaina and Geetha. But that's not it. Bigg Boss happened to announce a special power to Tanish, with which he could choose one more housemate for elimination. A very emotional Tanish announced Syamala as the fifth nominated contestant this week. Undoubtedly, a series of discussions and allegations of bias by Syamala followed the captain's decision. Bigg Boss Call Center The house turned into a call center this week and it was time for everyone to lash out against each other. Kaushal was the most targeted employee as he receieved the most number of calls and criticism. But the actor proved to be a sport by not hanging up on any of the calls and acing the task. Deepthi Sunaina and Ganesh's calls to Kaushal were the most highlighted for testing the housemate's patience. While Sunaina was under the spotlight for disrespecting Kaushal, Ganesh was appreciated for his knack of conversing. Roll, on the other hand, proved to be the smart player. The singer lured callers into many tricks and ultimately won the task. Kaushal and Roll were selected as the best players of this task and were now up for captaincy. Pyramid Captaincy Roll and Kaushal, as part of the captaincy task, were asked to build a pyramid with colour blocks and the one with the most number of blocks at the end of the game, would be crowned victor. The housemates, on the other hand, were asked to attack the pyramid with smiley balls, expressing support to the captains of their choice. It was a close call between Kaushal and Roll as the two were attacked with balls from all sides. Pooja, the sanchalak (referee) of the task, announced Roll as week 12's captain. During the same task, Nutan Naidu happened to suffer a shoulder injury, as he tried to throw some balls at Roll. The housemate was immediately taken into the confession room, where doctors announced that he will have to leave the show. Tanish & Sunaina under the scanner Sunaina, known as the sleeping beauty of the house, was once again punished by Bigg Boss for breaking the rules. And this time around, she was accompanied by Tanish, the captain himself. The two had the Bigg Boss dogs barking more than 20 times and spent sleepless nights as punishment. Tanish was scrutinised by both Nani and the housemates for being an irresponsible captain as he even tried tricking the cameras and taking a nap in the store room, along with Sunaina. Though the two seemed to take it lightly, all did not go well with their playful behaviour. Vijay Deverakonda and rowdy tricks Vijay Deverakonda, the lead actor of Geetha Govindam, joined Nani on stage this week, along with his director Parusuram. While the actor did not enter the house, he made sure to rub off his rowdy antics from outside.
