The latest episode of Bigg Boss Telugu 9 featured intense nominations, resulting in heated arguments between the contestants. The ultimate twist of the season, to exchange the roles of owners and tenants, gave them a huge advantage in the nomination process.

Bigg Boss instructs the tenants to assemble in the activity area, while the owners are seated on the living room sofa to observe the nomination process. He specifies that the tenants must collectively nominate five contestants for possible eviction, and at least one of these nominations must be a tenant. Demon Pavan is exempt from being nominated this week as he holds the captain position.

The five tenants - Srija, Priya, Harish, Kalyan, and Pavan decide to discuss each contestant and provide their reasons, and whoever gets the highest votes will be nominated. Harish comes forward to nominate Sanjana , saying, “I overlooked her behaviour in the starting days, but after she became the captain, I saw an evilness in her. She targets personally and talks nonsense. She fired at me, saying I degraded women, but she did the same thing when she commented on Suman.” Sreeja and Priya agree with him, and Priya adds that Sanjana is arrogant. Kalyan says he has no reason to nominate her. Pavan says, “She targets personally because of one issue. She doesn’t listen to anyone, causes unnecessary drama, and doesn’t admit her lies.”

For the second nomination, Sreeja strongly suggests Rithu’s name, saying, “During the previous task, she said something very wrong, and as a woman, I feel so offended. She doesn’t stick to her point. She gets easily influenced and changes her stand based on other people’s opinions. And I really felt that she had a soft corner for Demon during the captaincy task.” Pavan partially agrees with her, saying it would be very difficult to continue if she doesn't stick to her own opinion. Priya said she played selfishly by not leaving Ramu with any toys. Harish also added that she frequently throws tantrums and expects everyone to coax her.
