Bigg Boss Telugu 10 continued the third-week nomination process on Day 16, picking up where Monday’s episode left off. The nominations once again brought several differences to the forefront, with Mukesh, Shalini and Srishti getting involved in heated exchanges.
Mukesh received the first nomination opportunity and nominated Charan. He questioned Charan’s game after his re-entry and said that he was not showing enough involvement in the house. Charan strongly disagreed with Mukesh’s comments, leading to a tense exchange between the two. The conversation also brought up their earlier differences from the captaincy task.
Shalini then got the opportunity to nominate and chose Varshini. She questioned Varshini’s approach as sanchalak and accused her of influencing situations inside the house. Varshini defended herself, resulting in another heated argument between the two. Their equation has now become a recurring point of tension in the house.
Srishti also nominated Sudheer, bringing their previous argument back into the discussion. She accused Sudheer of using their equation for the game, while Sudheer denied the allegations and tried to explain his comments. The argument escalated, with Srishti throwing trash at Sudheer. Several housemates reacted to the incident, while Sudheer remained comparatively calm.
With the nomination process finally coming to an end, Vamsi, Sudheer, Shalini, Aman, Jhansi, Thrigun, Charan and Varshini entered the danger zone this week.
After nominations, Bigg Boss introduced the Temptation vs Tension task. Mukesh and Rohit won the initial buzzer opportunity and were given a chance to compete for a direct captaincy contender position. Mukesh was offered a personal photograph with his late father as a temptation, but accepting it meant taking away Debjani’s chance at captaincy and destroying a letter from her parents. Mukesh chose the temptation, and the emotional moment left Debjani in tears after her family letter was destroyed.
The episode ended with the captaincy battle set to continue, leaving the housemates with another major task ahead.
