The latest episode of Bigg Boss Telugu Season 8 brought a dramatic twist as eight former contestants made a surprise return to the house. These familiar faces, dubbed “Royals,” entered as wild card entries, instantly shaking up the dynamics of the popular reality show.
The reentry of these seasoned players, all veterans from previous seasons, has sparked both excitement and tension among the existing housemates. Despite the Royals claiming to have watched the show as outsiders, their arrival was met with skepticism and strategic concern from the current contestants.
Nomination drama unfolded quickly, with special rules allowing only the new entrants to nominate others. This twist created an immediate divide in the house, as the existing contestants found themselves unable to reciprocate nominations. Adding to the complexity, the house chief and the new Royals were protected from being nominated, further intensifying the strategic gameplay.
Hariteja kicked off the nominations by choosing Yashmi and Prithvi. She criticized Yashmi for showing favoritism and accused Prithvi of lacking independent decision-making in the game. Gautam followed suit, nominating Vishnupriya and Yashmi, questioning their focus and referencing past behaviors that he found problematic. Mehboob also targeted Yashmi, bringing up a previous task involving Manikanta.
Vishnupriya passionately defended her open display of feelings when nominated. Seetha faced criticism from multiple contestants for her frequent emotional outbursts, with some suggesting it might be affecting her gameplay.
Tasty Teja’s nominations stood out from the rest. He chose Seetha and Manikanta, offering a nuanced perspective on game dynamics. Teja suggested that constantly sharing personal struggles, as seen with some contestants, might be a calculated move to gain audience sympathy rather than a genuine display of emotion.
As the game intensifies, viewers are left wondering how the return of these familiar faces will impact the show.
