Bigg Boss Telugu 10, the latest season of the popular reality show, has introduced a major twist by giving the audience the power to decide the house captain. This season, known for its unpredictable dynamics, saw relationships between contestants like Thrigun and Sudheer tested after the nomination process. Thrigun expressed disappointment over Sudheer's actions, calling them backstabbing, while Sudheer insisted he was only being honest. Srishti stepped in to mediate, leading to a direct conversation between the two.

Meanwhile, Rohit remained cautious around Thrigun, telling others he would be vigilant to avoid being misrepresented. The house also witnessed a lighter side as Mukesh and Debjani's playful flirting brought comic relief, with Ram Prasad joining in as Debjani's 'brother.' The festive spirit of Vinayaka Chaturthi briefly eased the tension among housemates.

The biggest development came with the "Power of People" theme. For the first time in the show's history, viewers were given the authority to choose the captain, but only after an internal competition narrowed the field. Seven contestants—Ram Prasad, Jhansi, Shalini, Debjani, Thrigun, Mukesh, and Rohit—competed in a word puzzle challenge, with Varshini as the Sanchalak. Each round, contestants eliminated one contender they felt was least deserving, making the process emotionally charged.

The task sparked several arguments, particularly involving Shalini, who accused Varshini of not fulfilling her duties as Sanchalak. Thrigun supported Shalini's claim, despite their earlier disagreements. Additional confrontations involved Rohit, Jhansi, Debjani, and Ram Prasad. Ultimately, Jhansi, Aman, Mukesh, and Shalini advanced as the final contenders for captaincy. With the audience now holding the decisive vote, the "Power of People" twist is set to reshape the competition.
