The first major nomination round of Bigg Boss Telugu 10 erupted into fierce arguments, personal clashes, and strategic call-outs. After an intense opening week in which contestants competed to become official housemates, resulting in the eliminations of Chaitra and Charan, the remaining contenders entered Monday’s official nomination cycle with scores to settle.
How the Golden & Silver Axe Nomination Task Worked
Bigg Boss pitted contestants head-to-head in a dual challenge requiring physical agility and tactical decision-making:
- The Race: Two housemates navigated a designated track to untangle a rope wrapped around their assigned pole.
- The Silver Axe: The winner who chose this axe gained the power to nominate one contestant.
- The Golden Axe: Choosing this axe gave the winner the power to nominate two housemates.
- The Penalty: The loser of the round automatically received one nomination vote against them. Axe winners retained the right to nominate anyone, including their direct opponent.
Key Clashes and Major Confrontations
Sudheer vs. Thrigun and Shalini
After defeating Jhansi and securing the Golden Axe, Sudheer aimed Thrigun, accusing him of two-faced gameplay and unfair judgment regarding Chaitra’s performance. Sudheer subsequently targeted Shalini, criticizing her refusal to accept washroom-cleaning duties and her reliance on house privileges to bypass chores.
Thrigun Under Fire from Rohith and Debjani
Debjani claimed the Silver Axe after beating Krishna, using her vote on Trigun for speaking behind housemates’ backs rather than addressing concerns directly.
Tensions peaked when Rohith defeated Varshini and grabbed the Golden Axe. Rohith confronted Trigun over derogatory remarks about his physique, alleging Trigun described him as having a “steroids body” and questioned Trigun’s comments regarding female housemate Srishti. Rohith used his second nomination on Jhansi, calling out her “safe game.”
Trigun Fires Back at Sudheer and Rohith
Winning the Golden Axe against Shalini, Trigun launched a counter-offensive:
- He nominated Sudheer, denying backstabbing allegations and accusing Sudheer of manufacturing conflicts solely for screen time.
- He nominated Rohith, citing poor work ethic and a lack of accountability in house chores.
Naresh Calls Out Shalini
Naresh defeated Shalini and chose the Silver Axe to nominate her. He pointed out Shalini’s inability to handle defeat, referenced a previous altercation that forced an apology out of Chaitra, and highlighted repeated warnings from Bigg Boss regarding her tardiness.
Final Rounds: Aman and Vamsi Make Their Moves
- Aman defeated Mukesh, took the Golden Axe, and nominated Ram Prasad alongside Jhansi.
- Vamsi outpaced Ram Prasad for the Golden Axe. He nominated Debjani over an inappropriate word used in casual conversation, followed by Mukesh, citing hygiene friction regarding beard-shaving inside the house.
