Bigg Boss

The December 6 episode of Bigg Boss Telugu 9 delivered one of the season’s most intense confrontations as host Nagarjuna Akkineni took contestants to task for questionable gameplay. The spotlight fell squarely on Thanuja Puttaswamy and Bharani Shankar, whose actions during the week sparked major controversy inside the house and among viewers.

With the finale just weeks away, Nagarjuna made it clear that unfair tactics won’t slide—even if you’re a frontrunner for the trophy.

Bigg Boss Telugu 9 Episode Highlights: December 6, 2025

The Triangle-Quadrangle Controversy Explained

What Happened During the Task

The week’s major drama centered on a Ticket to Finale task where contestants competed in mathematical challenges. During one round, Bharani lost to Ritu in a geometry-based question. However, Thanuja raised objections, claiming the task involved identifying a triangle versus a quadrangle, and that the decision was unfair.

Nagarjuna’s Mathematical Takedown

The superstar host didn’t mince words. He provided a clear mathematical explanation proving the original decision was correct, then criticized Thanuja for attempting to reopen a closed matter after the task concluded. Nagarjuna praised Sanjana’s role as sanchalak (supervisor), backing her impartial judgment.

But he didn’t stop there. Nagarjuna displayed another clip exposing Thanuja’s foul play in a different task, making it clear that her pattern of challenging fair decisions undermined the game’s integrity.

The Nomination Misuse Warning

Nagarjuna reminded Thanuja that nomination time should not be weaponized to settle personal scores. He referenced her emotional confrontation with Immanuel during nominations, pointing out that using that vulnerable moment for strategic gameplay crossed ethical lines.

This warning resonated with viewers who’ve noticed contestants increasingly using emotional manipulation as strategy.

Other Contestants Who Faced the Heat

Ritu’s Mathematical Mishaps

Before addressing the main controversy, Nagarjuna questioned Ritu about her repeated math blunders that became a running joke in the house. He asked her basic questions she struggled to answer, highlighting how her lack of preparation cost her credibility as a competitor. Shortly after this episode, Ritu became the first contestant eliminated in the double eviction week.

Pavan’s Overconfidence Problem

Demon Pavan received a stern reprimand for two issues:

1. Blaming task props after losing instead of accepting defeat gracefully
2. Prematurely declaring he would win the Ticket to Finale before the task concluded

Nagarjuna called out this behavior as “clear overconfidence” that disrespects both the competition and fellow contestants. Despite the warning, Pavan remains strong in second position in public voting.

Immanuel’s Opponent Choice

Nagarjuna questioned Immanuel for choosing Sanjana as his opponent in the Ticket to Finale task, suggesting the selection revealed strategic calculations rather than genuine competitive spirit.

Contestants’ Self-Evaluation: Who Deserves to Win?

In a powerful segment, each remaining contestant had to justify why they deserved the trophy, followed by secret thumbs-up or thumbs-down votes from their peers.

The Results:

Unanimous Support:

• Immanuel – Praised for commitment to entertainment and consistent humor
• Tanuja – Declared she wants to be the first woman to win Bigg Boss Telugu
• Kalyan – Highlighted his discipline and consistency; received full approval

Mixed Reception:

• Bharani – Spoke candidly about strengths and flaws but received thumbs down from Ritu and Pavan
• Suman – Limited support, only from Kalyan, Tanuja, and Bharani
• Sanjana – Insisted she played honestly but received mostly thumbs down

Most Criticized:

• Pavan & Suman – Received the highest number of negative votes
• Ritu – Faced thumbs down from Suman and Bharani for poor sanchalak performance

This peer evaluation revealed the house’s internal dynamics and who genuinely commands respect versus who’s simply surviving eliminations.

Emotional Moments: Apologies and Reconciliations

As the season winds down, contestants began reflecting on their journeys. Thanuja approached seniors like Bharani, Sanjana, and Suman, apologizing for harsh comments made during gameplay. She clarified that her words were situational rather than personal, attempting to mend bridges before the finale.

Immanuel continued delivering effortless comedy, teasing Pavan’s outfit by comparing it to a magician’s costume. A mother-themed song Immanuel sang for fun last week resurfaced when Sanjana complained about its implications, adding another layer to their complex relationship.

Current Standings: Who’s Winning the Race?

Public Voting Trends:

Leading the Pack:

• Thanuja continues dominating voting polls
• Demon Pavan holds strong in second position
• Kalyan Padala already secured finale spot by winning Ticket to Finale

Fighting for Survival:

• Suman Shetty – Expected to be next eviction after Ritu
• Bharani Shankar – Faces tough competition despite veteran status
• Sanjana – Struggling to gain voting momentum
• Immanuel – Expected to reach top five based on entertainment value

Double Elimination Impact

With Ritu’s elimination already confirmed and reports suggesting Suman’s exit is imminent, the competition intensifies. The remaining contestants must fight harder than ever to secure their positions in the finale week.

Makers’ Controversial Push?

Some viewers have raised concerns about the show’s selective editing. Episodes now feature highly positive comments on Bharani from individuals claiming to be lifelong fans, which has sparked debate about whether producers are pushing certain contestants toward the finale.

This pattern of controlled audience sentiment raises questions about editorial influence versus organic viewer support. The highly selective nature of showcased fan reactions suggests potential manipulation of public perception.

What’s Next for Bigg Boss Telugu 9?

The show enters its final stages with approximately 2-3 weeks remaining until the grand finale scheduled for late December 2025. The confirmed finalists so far include:

• Kalyan Padala (Ticket to Finale winner)
• Likely: Thanuja, Immanuel (based on voting trends)

The remaining spots will be decided through upcoming eliminations and final tasks. With tension rising, unexpected twists, and Nagarjuna’s strict enforcement of fair play, viewers can expect explosive episodes ahead.
