The fifth week of Bigg Boss 8 has brought intense drama with the nominations finalized. This week, Nikhil, Vishnupriya, Nainika, Nagamanikantha, Aditya, and Nabeel are in the spotlight. On Tuesday, Bigg Boss added more twists by introducing games to prevent wild card entries.
Meanwhile, Yashmi’s over-the-top reactions have grabbed attention, reminding viewers of past contestant Sonia. Her biting remarks about Nabeel and Manikantha stirred emotions, making Tuesday’s episode (October 01) a standout.
Manikanta’s Dangerous Persona
The episode kicked off with Yashmi and Prerna discussing the latest nominations. Yashmi, frustrated with Manikantha, accused him of playing with people’s emotions.
Her angry outburst hinted that she now sees him as a dangerous player with a hidden, criminal side, despite once considering him a friend.
To block wild card entries, three games were played: “Unlock the Lock.. Run the Time,” “Careful if You Don’t Walk,” and “Roll Baby Roll.”
While Vishnupriya and Nikhil struggled in the first game, Manikanta and Yashmi went head-to-head in the second, with Yashmi emerging victorious though her victory was met with exaggerated enthusiasm. In the final game, Aditya triumphed over Nabeel, successfully stopping two wild card entries.
Yashmi’s Harsh Criticism of Nabeel
Yashmi didn’t hold back after Nabeel’s performance, calling his gameplay “crap” despite having praised him in earlier episodes. This sudden shift in attitude drew attention and seemed to intensify her rivalry with him.
In a survival task, Manikantha was the first to be sidelined by the Kantara clan, followed by Sita, leaving them both out of future competitions. Despite the team changes, Manikantha’s luck seems to have run out.
Yashmi’s confrontational style has been compared to Sonia’s, who was eliminated earlier. Her behavior in the latest episode, especially her harsh comments about Nabeel and Manikantha, makes it seem like she’s taken over the role left by Sonia, stirring up fresh drama in the house.
