Week 13 Nominated Contestants
After a dramatic nomination task where housemates smashed glass bottles to reveal their choices, six contestants face possible elimination:
1. Sanjana Galrani – The actress and former Bigg Boss Kannada contestant finds herself in the danger zone according to unofficial polls. Despite her bold personality and entertainment value, voting trends suggest she’s struggling to gather enough support.
2. Demon Pavan – Known for his unpredictable gameplay, Pavan has been a controversial figure throughout the season. His confrontations with Thanuja during Ticket to Finale tasks have kept him in headlines but may have cost him votes.
3. Rithu Chowdary – Currently showing weak voting numbers, Rithu appears vulnerable this week. Her involvement in task disputes and quieter gameplay compared to others may have affected her fan following.
4. Suman Shetty – Despite narrowly escaping elimination in Week 12, Suman finds himself back in the danger zone. Unofficial polls consistently place him at the bottom, making him the most likely candidate for eviction this week.
5. Thanuja Puttaswamy – The actress has maintained a strong presence in the house but faces nomination after intense arguments during Ticket to Finale selections. Her self-nomination by smashing a bottle in anger shocked fellow contestants.
6. Bharani – Directly nominated by Captain Kalyan Padala using his special power, Bharani must rely entirely on audience votes to survive. His mid-range popularity may not be enough in this competitive week.
Current Voting Trends Analysis
According to multiple unofficial polls tracking public sentiment, the voting hierarchy shows clear divisions between safe and danger zones.
Top Zone (Likely Safe):
- Emmanuel Kalyan continues dominating with strong fan support despite being nominated
- Thanuja Puttaswamy maintains decent voting numbers due to her active gameplay
- Bharani holds middle-ground position with moderate audience backing
Danger Zone (Risk of Elimination):
- Suman Shetty consistently appears at the bottom across multiple polls
- Rithu Chowdary shows weak voting performance with limited fan campaigns
- Sanjana Galrani hovers near danger zone despite her entertainment quotient
The clear gap between top and bottom performers suggests this week’s elimination will likely come from the bottom three contestants. However, last-minute voting surges can dramatically change outcomes, especially in final weeks when fanbases mobilize aggressively.
Kalyan’s Historic Ticket to Finale Win
Week 13 witnessed a major milestone as Kalyan Padala became Bigg Boss Telugu 9’s first confirmed finalist. The quiet strategist surprised everyone by dominating the physically and mentally challenging Ticket to Finale tasks, defeating favorites and securing his place in the top 5.
His journey from understated contestant to finalist exemplifies how consistency and strategic gameplay triumph over loud personalities. As the final captain of the season, Kalyan also wielded power by directly nominating Bharani for eviction—a move that sparked heated discussions among housemates.
Double Elimination Speculation
With only two weeks remaining before the grand finale, speculation is rife about a potential double elimination. Since Week 11 saw no elimination when Emmanuel used his Power Astra to save Divya, the show must eliminate four contestants to reach the traditional five-person finale lineup.
Industry sources suggest the makers might conduct a surprise double eviction this week or next to maintain the timeline. If confirmed, both Suman and Rithu could face elimination simultaneously, dramatically reshaping the finale race.

What Makes Week 13 Critical
This penultimate nomination week determines who enters the finale alongside Kalyan. The remaining contestants know every vote counts, and their in-house behavior reflects this desperation. Ticket to Finale tasks have created new alliances and exposed hidden conflicts, giving audiences fresh perspectives on each contestant’s character.
The family week preceding these nominations added emotional depth, with loved ones offering strategic advice and moral support. These visits often influence voting patterns as audiences connect with contestants’ personal stories and relationships outside the house.
The Road to Finale
Following Week 13’s elimination, only seven contestants will remain. Week 14 will see another elimination, narrowing the field to six. The final week before the grand finale will eliminate one more contestant, creating the traditional top 5 who compete for the trophy.
Current predictions place Emmanuel Kalyan, Kalyan Padala, and Demon Pavan as strong finalists, while the remaining two spots remain contested. However, Bigg Boss Telugu has consistently defied predictions, making the final weeks unpredictable and thrilling.
