The 13th week voting trends for Bigg Boss Telugu Season 9, as the show nears its grand finale, are showing signs of escalation. The intense competition among the remaining contestants, influenced by recent "Ticket to Finale" tasks and fan voting patterns, is palpable.
Six contestants were nominated after a dramatic round where each had to name two others with reasons: Sanjana Galrani, Reetu Chaudhary, Demon Pavan, Suman Shetty, Thanuja Puttaswamy, and Bharani Shankar. Current Voting Rankings (based on unofficial online trackers, social media polls, and fan pages) suggest that Thanuja Puttaswamy leads with 29.31% of votes, boosted by support shifting from eliminated contestant Kalyan.
Reetu Chaudhary is second at 15.57%.
Bharani Shankar holds third with 14.88%, after winning a Ticket to Finale task against Pavan.
Sanjana Galrani is fourth at 13.8%, despite losing her task.
Suman Shetty is fifth at 13.25%, following a loss to Reetu in tasks.
Demon Pavan trails at the bottom with 13.19%, impacted by opting out of a key task.
Sanjana, Suman Shetty, and Pavan are in precarious positions with closely bunched low percentages. Analysts and fans predict Suman Shetty is most at risk of elimination this week, with the trio potentially facing a tough fight. Voting closes late Friday night, leaving room for last-minute shifts.
