In the fourth week of Bigg Boss 8 Telugu, Sonia was eliminated and the fifth week brought intense discussions during the nomination process, with most contestants targeting Manikanta.
Bigg Boss introduced a unique twist, asking housemates to burn the photos of those they wished to nominate and explain their reasons.
Manikanta nominated Nainika, noting her change since the first week. This led to a heated exchange, with Nainika trying to defend herself.
Yashmi was also nominated by Manikanta for making jokes about him, which led to further arguments. Nainika, in turn, nominated Nabeel for not taking the game seriously and Vishnu for their weakening bond.
The tension escalated as Nabeel nominated Vishnupriya, citing her early task give-ups. Aditya and Nikhil also made their nominations, with strong arguments against Nainika and Manikanta for their perceived indecisiveness and game strategies.
A notable moment she occurred when Prerana nominated Manikanta and Aditya, leading to a dramatic warning from Bigg Boss after Prerana’s risky actions.
In the end, the nominations included Manikanta, Vishnupriya, Nabeel, Aditya, Nainika, and Nikhil, setting the stage for another suspenseful eviction.
