Bigg Boss Telugu 9: High Drama in Finalist Race as Tanuja Surges Ahead; Bharani Shocked After Deeman’s Exit

Bigg Boss Telugu Season 9 is entering its final stretch, and the competition for the finalist spots has intensified like never before. The battle for the second finalist position on Day 95 brought unexpected twists, dramatic point exchanges, and emotional confrontations inside the house.

The leaderboard saw major changes after Suman Shetty exited the race earlier, and now Deeman Pawan has also been eliminated due to his low score. With his departure, the second finalist spot is now fiercely contested by Tanuja, Bharani, Emmanuel, and Sanjana.

Deeman Eliminated; Tanuja Rises to the Top

Bigg Boss announced Deeman Pawan’s elimination from the finalist race, but also granted him the chance to transfer half of his earned points to a housemate of his choice. Deeman chose Tanuja, who was lower on the leaderboard at that time.

This twist completely reshuffled the rankings.

After the point transfer:

Tanuja jumped to 1st place with 295 points

Sanjana followed with 290 points

Emmanuel held 270 points

Bharani remained at the bottom with 230 points

Tanuja’s Decision Stuns Bharani

Soon after the leaderboard was updated, Bigg Boss introduced another twist—housemates had to unanimously eliminate one contestant from the next challenge. Sensing danger due to his low score, Bharani approached Tanuja for clarity.

However, Tanuja’s blunt response left him stunned.

She stated openly:

“I don’t want to eliminate Emmanuel. For me, the first option is you and the second is Sanjana garu.”

A shocked Bharani questioned why she prioritized Emmanuel over him. Tanuja justified her choice by saying Emmanuel had supported her more recently. Deeply hurt, Bharani walked away without further argument.

Later, Bharani shared his disappointment with Suman Shetty, expressing that Tanuja’s comment about Emmanuel standing by her affected him the most:

“It hurt me. What did I do wrong?” he said emotionally.

Tensions Peak Ahead of Finale

As the show inches closer to the finale, alliances, trust, and personal equations in the Bigg Boss house are significantly influencing the finalist race. The confrontation between Tanuja and Bharani became the highlight of the episode, revealing shifting loyalties in the house.

The next elimination—and the identity of the second finalist—will be revealed in the upcoming episode.
