EPISODE 80

The mood inside Bigg Boss 9 has become very intense after Family Week ended. Contestants are quietly changing how they play the game. Bharani received strong advice from Nagababu and now seems ready to bring back his aggressive playing style. Viewers had been missing this side of him for weeks.

Bharani Gets His Energy Back

Following Nagababu's guidance, Bharani has been noticeably fierce from the beginning of the week. His choice to nominate both Divya and Tanuja surprised people, especially because these three have fought many times before. Since coming back into the house, Bharani had been careful and avoided unnecessary drama. But somehow, he always gets pulled back into their arguments.

Bharani and Divya Fight Again

The latest episode showed another clash between Bharani and Divya. What started as a simple comment quickly turned into a big argument.

Divya was ironing a shirt when Bharani said it would be better if he talked less. She reacted strongly. The conversation got worse with Divya saying he misunderstood her, while Bharani complained that she often starts unrelated arguments. Their exchange became heated when Divya questioned why he was taking her jokes so seriously.

Talking About Age Creates More Problems

The disagreement got deeper when Divya mentioned the age-related joke Bharani had made. Bharani opened up and said the constant references to age, especially during serious conversations, were annoying him.

He also remembered how Divya interrupted his conversation with Prerana by unnecessarily bringing up her age. Divya said she mentioned it casually, but Bharani said that repeating the same topic over and over goes too far.

Bharani Says Sorry From His Heart

Despite the harsh words exchanged, Bharani later went to Divya to apologize sincerely. He admitted he shouldn't have reacted so strongly and promised not to make the joke about limping again. Divya accepted his apology with a smile and told him not to be so dramatic. Bharani assured her that he apologizes with real humility because that's just who he is.

Captain Race: Past Contestants Come Back With Hard Challenges

Prerana's Visit Removes Tanuja

Prerana, who reached the finals in Season 8, came back into the house and picked Tanuja for the challenge called "Cross It, Climb It, Rule It." Even though Tanuja really wanted to compete with her, Prerana performed much better and easily knocked Tanuja out of the captain race.

Harika Tests Suman Shetty

Next, Harika from Season 4 entered the house and chose Suman Shetty for the tower-building task. Even though Harika gave him several chances, Suman was nervous and couldn't complete the task. He was eliminated from the race.

Sanjjanaa Tries to Get Camera Attention

Meanwhile, Sanjjanaa kept trying to stay in the spotlight. In a dramatic action, she hid Bharani's mineral tablets and told the camera she wouldn't give them back no matter how much Bharani asked.

Demon Wins Against Manas

Near the end of the episode, actor Manas Nagulapalli entered the house with lots of energy. He even danced with the housemates. For the challenge called "Nail It, Win It," he selected Pawan, also known as Demon. The competition was tough, but Demon performed strongly and earned his spot as a captain contender.

Who Will Be the Final Captain of Bigg Boss 9?

So far, only Kalyan and Demon are confirmed as contenders. With more former contestants expected to return in upcoming episodes, housemates still have one last chance to enter the captain race. The final battle for captaincy will happen in Friday's episode. Viewers are eagerly waiting to see who wins the last captain's title of Bigg Boss 9.
