In the tumultuous world of the Bigg Boss house, emotions run high, alliances are tested, and the competition for the coveted captaincy title takes center stage. Following a heated round of nominations, the housemates are still grappling with the aftermath. While some have buried the hatchet, others nurse grudges, creating an atmosphere of suspense and unpredictability. Bigg Boss, known for his penchant for surprises, introduces a new challenge known as the "BB Marathon."
This marathon consists of a series of tasks, each carefully crafted to push the limits of four housemates at a time. The stakes are high, with the winner of each task securing a direct ticket to the captaincy contention, while the other two contenders get a shot at the next task in the series. Unfortunately, the one who falters the most in a task finds themselves ousted from the captaincy race.
The first leg of this marathon is dubbed "Guess the Result." Housemates Teja, Amar, Priyanka, and Shobha comprise the initial group of contenders, with Gowtham serving as the referee. The task, on the surface, appears straightforward: predicting whether a given item will sink or float in water. However, the twist lies in the selection of items, carefully chosen to keep the contestants on their toes. Items like an ice block, cotton, and a wooden spoon make for a challenging array. Priyanka emerges as the victor, showcasing her aptitude in this aquatic guessing game.
Shobha secures the second position, and Amar and Teja initially find themselves in a tie for third place. In a thrilling tie-breaker, Teja clinches the victory, ousting Amar from the captaincy race. This outcome is particularly surprising given Amar's aspirations and his controversial attempt to seek assistance from Priyanka.
The marathon doesn't conclude here, as the contestants transition to the second task, "Set the Box." This task bears some resemblance to solving a Rubik's Cube, with contestants tasked with grouping boxes of the same color together. Prashant rises to the challenge, earning his place as a captaincy contender.
In contrast, Rathika, despite a previously spirited performance, finds herself in the unfortunate position of being last and is eliminated from the race. It's intriguing to note a significant shift in Rathika's approach to tasks after her reentry into the house. Her dynamic persona seems to have evolved into a more measured demeanor. As the BB Marathon unfolds, housemates will encounter a series of diverse tasks, each demanding unique skills and strategies. The captaincy race is turning out to be a rollercoaster, with surprises aplenty, keeping both the housemates and viewers perched on the edge of their seats.
