The Bigg Boss Telugu 10 house turned into a battleground on Day 22. Between clashes over household chores, captaincy authority disputes, and physical injuries during the new “Total Domination” task, the latest episode delivered non-stop friction as housemates battled for control.
Morning Sparks: Captain Apoorva vs. Mukesh and Trigun
The day began on a turbulent note when newly appointed captain and wild card entrant Apoorva Tungaturthy confronted Mukesh over household duties, specifically washing dishes and clearing out the captain’s bedroom.
Mukesh insisted that Apoorva formally convene a house meeting to lay out expectations clearly. While Apoorva called the meeting immediately, the discussion quickly devolved into a bitter dispute:
- Respect for the Captain: Apoorva called out Mukesh for hypocrisy, reminding him of his earlier speeches regarding respecting whoever holds the captain’s badge.
- Trigun Rebels: Joining the fray, Trigun openly challenged Apoorva’s authority, stating outright that he refused to call her “Captain” and dared her to take whatever action she wanted.
Bigg Boss Unveils the ‘Total Domination’ Task
Following the previous week’s Tension-Temptation challenge, Bigg Boss introduced the Total Domination game, dividing the contestants into two competing factions:
- Team Sapta Shakti: Shalini, Srishti, Charan, Naresh, Trigun, Mukesh, and Debjani.
- Team Bhairava: Apoorva, Rohith, Sudheer, Jhansi, Aman, and the remaining contestants.
The multi-stage challenge kicked off with a dagger-collecting phase. Contestants who secured two or more daggers earned the power to sabotage or alter their opponents’ trajectory in the game. Tension escalated early when Ram Prasad snatched Naresh’s dagger, claiming it was merely a prank.
The Chariot-Building Challenge and Dagger Stand-off
The competition advanced into a three-stage chariot-building challenge requiring contestants to gather bricks to unlock vital chariot parts. Rohith and Shalini were tasked with supervising rule enforcement while actively competing.
Friction peaked when Apoorva interjected during a discussion between Rohith and Shalini regarding the rules:
- Shalini Confronts Apoorva: Shalini objected sharply to Apoorva’s repeated interruptions, sparking an aggressive exchange between the two.
- The Handed-off Dagger: The atmosphere grew more precarious after Srishti suffered a leg injury and passed her dagger to Shalini before heading to the medical room.
- Team Confrontation: Spotting the weapon, Apoorva alerted Team Bhairava. Rohith, Sudheer, Jhansi, and Aman rushed to Shalini to retrieve the dagger, prompting fierce resistance from Team Sapta Shakti. During the chaos, Trigun and Rohith exchanged heated remarks.
Shalini later demanded accountability from Apoorva and Rohith. Team Bhairava defended their actions, stating they were unaware the dagger had been entrusted to Shalini for safekeeping due to Srishti’s medical situation.
Injuries Mount as Team Bhairava Takes the Lead
The task’s physical intensity took a further toll when Mukesh sustained a leg injury.
Shalini accused Aman of foul play, triggering another round of fiery arguments across team lines. Despite the chaos and setbacks on both sides, Team Bhairava won the first battle, claimed the round’s reward, and locked in the first section of their chariot.
