Bigg Boss Telugu Season 8: New Twists, Contestant Pairs, and Gameplay Changes

02 Sep 2024 06:48 AM

The eighth season of Bigg Boss Telugu, hosted by Nagarjuna Akkineni, has introduced a series of intriguing changes that promise to shake up the format. Unlike previous seasons, this year’s contestants have entered the house in pairs, adding a new layer of strategy and interaction. The absence of a captaincy role means no one has immunity from nominations, making every housemate equally vulnerable and intensifying the competition. Additionally, housemates must earn their weekly ration through tasks, and with the starting prize money set at zero, they will need to engage in challenges to increase the prize pool. With these fresh twists, Season 8 is set to deliver unprecedented drama and entertainment.
