Tensions inside the house reached a boiling point on Day 3 of Bigg Boss Telugu Season 10. From high-stakes penalties and surprise captaincy changes to bitter arguments over daily chores, the housemates are already clashing over territory and responsibilities.

Two Contestants Sent to the High-Risk Zone
Bigg Boss expressed dissatisfaction with both the Blue and Red teams after they underperformed in the recent challenge. Each squad was directed to nominate one member for the dreaded high-risk zone, stripping them of key privileges.
- Blue Team: Ram Prasad voluntarily stepped forward, sacrificing himself for his squad.
- Red Team: Following internal debates between Shalini and Charan, the group collectively voted Charan into the high-risk zone.
Debjani Named Blue Team Captain
Ram Prasad’s move to the high-risk zone cost him his leadership role, forcing an immediate captaincy election. While Mukesh and Trigun were initially considered frontrunners, Ram Prasad pitched Debjani as a compromise candidate. The Blue Team rallied behind the idea, officially appointing Debjani as the new captain.
Household Duties Assigned
Debjani took charge of organizing the daily chores, dividing both the manual labor and the monitoring responsibilities among the contestants. Vamsi was put in charge of cooking, with singer Jhansi stepping in to assist him and Debjani taking on the supervisory role.
Srishti and Chaitra were assigned general house-cleaning duties under Sudheer’s oversight, while Aman took over the laundry. Rohith was assigned to clean the utensils, with Trigun designated to oversee his work. Shalini was originally tasked with cleaning the washrooms, setting the stage for the episode’s major twist.
Shalini Uses Special Power on Varshini
The episode’s biggest shock arrived when Shalini activated her special power. Originally assigned to washroom duty, Shalini exercised her advantage to permanently transfer the chore to Varshini for the entire duration of her stay in the house. Rather than sparking a fight, Varshini accepted the grueling assignment with a smile.
Friction Brews: Rohith Clashes with Trigun and Sudheer
Kitchen duties became a primary battleground throughout the day:
- Kitchen Standby Dispute: Trigun, Varsha, and Sudheer demanded that Rohith stay glued to the kitchen during prep time to wash pots instantly. Rohith refused, arguing he would arrive when called rather than waiting around pointlessly.
- Sudheer’s Interference: Rohith later confronted Sudheer for completing a task outside his designated duties, warning him not to cross boundaries. When Trigun stepped in to mediate, Rohith told him to stay out of business that did not concern him.
- The 30-Second Standoff: Trigun’s supervisory role over Rohith’s dishwashing duty escalated when Rohith took longer than the promised 30 seconds to report to the sink. Frustrated by Trigun’s hovering and detailed micromanagement, Rohith pushed back, prompting Trigun to formally complain to Bigg Boss about Rohith’s lack of cooperation.
