Bigg Boss 9: Fierce Fight for the Ticket to Finale as Emmanuel Faces Tense Moments

The Bigg Boss Telugu 9 has duly crossed the line of most exciting phase. As the finale date is very close, the battle for the first finalist spot has sent the contestants into survival mode. From Day 87 onwards, Bigg Boss has been giving one after the other great tasks and high-octane action, which is the reason both housemates and viewers are feeling the tension.

What followed was a mixture of strategy, alliances, and emotional surprises that turned the race to the finale even more enthralling with the addition of unexpected turns.

Barrel… Balance… Battle: Suman Shetty vs Tanuja

The episode began with a hard-to-master balancing act called “Barrel.. Balance.. Battle.” The task of the contestants was to stand and keep a barrel balanced with a rope, while one by one the other housemates were called to put the contestant’s barrel, whom they did not want to see as the first finalist, with water.

Sanjana took the director's part, and the first shock came from Bharani. Even though he was very close to Tanuja, he kept pouring water into her barrel and made her feel shocked and puzzled. The other contestants also played against both Suman Shetty and Tanuja, but eventually, the weight became too much for Tanuja. She dropped the barrel and lost the task, which made Suman Shetty to go further.

Blocks Battle: Pawan Outplays Suman and Kalyan

Then, there was a challenge between Suman Shetty, Pawan, and Kalyan for collecting blocks. The contestants had to bring the blocks from the centre area and store them without letting the opponent take their blocks.

Kalyan was mainly attacking Suman that left Pawan a good chance to take his blocks without much hindrance. With his cleverness and steady focus, Pawan won the task, leaving Suman getting more and more frustrated and exhausted.

Emmanuel’s Sharp Comment Steals Attention

Just after the task was done, Emmanuel's statement got all the attention and was the talk of the house.

He spoke to Kalyan:

“I’m delighted that Suman lost. I thought you two would get into a fight and that he would win.”

His sincere but daring comment became one of the most discussed moments of the episode.

Bridge-Building Showdown: Bharani Stuns Everyone

The last battle was between Kalyan and Bharani in a challenge called "Build a Bridge, Win." The contestants had to use wooden slabs to make a bridge, pick the bags which were placed on the other side, and bring them back to the table.

In a turn of events, Bharani put on one of his best shows of the season. He built the bridge faster than Kalyan and did the task accurately thus claiming the victory he deserved.

His win especially over Kalyan who earlier defeated Pawan, became the talk of the town among the inmates and the audience too.
