Bigg Boss Telugu Day 35: Wild Card Contestants Enter the House, Prize Money Soars

The October 11 episode of Bigg Boss Telugu Season 10 brought major changes to the house as Week 5 of the “Road to Reload” phase came to an end. Contestants Apoorva and Charan were evicted, while five wild card entrants Shiv, Daksha, Neethu Master, Swetha Naidu and Ramakrishna joined the show. Each newcomer brought ₹2 lakh to participate in challenges against the original contestants.

Under the challenge rules, a wild card contestant who wins gains the opponent’s power, while a victory for an original contestant adds the wild card entrant’s ₹2 lakh to the prize pool. Trigun defeated Shiv in the opening contest but later lost to Neethu Master. The original contestants won the other challenges, adding ₹8 lakh to the existing ₹35 lakh. As a result, the total prize money rose to ₹43 lakh.

Swetha Naidu made her opinions clear after entering the house. She said she liked Rohith but was unhappy with Shalini’s behaviour, describing her as too loud. Swetha handed her badges to Rohith and Naresh, but lost her challenge against Vamsi. Later, Ramakrishna commented on Rohith’s performance, saying he had not shown the same intensity that he displayed during Agnipariksha.

During the episode, host Nagarjuna asked the original contestants to choose between Shalini and Charan, who were in the danger zone. Shalini received 10 of the 11 votes, while Aman voted for Charan, explaining that he thought Charan might otherwise receive no support. Nagarjuna later revealed Aman’s vote to Charan and questioned the contestants about their behaviour and statements inside the house.

In the final challenge, Ram Prasad defeated Ramakrishna, helping raise the prize money to ₹43 lakh. Nagarjuna welcomed the new contestants and announced “Road Block” as the theme for Week 6. With the wild card entrants questioning Shalini and showing support for Rohith, the house dynamics could change significantly in the coming days.
