Bigg Boss Telugu Season 9 delivered a completely unexpected twist last night when Bigg Boss announced a surprise midnight task that overturned the entire house dynamics. Contestants were already preparing to sleep when the lights suddenly turned red, and the siren rang across the house. Bigg Boss then announced:
“The current captaincy is now dissolved. A new captain will be chosen through an overnight challenge.”
This shocking twist left everyone stunned.
The midnight task was called “Guard Your Flag”, where each contestant was given a flag with their name on it. The rule was simple:
Whoever protects their flag until morning becomes the new captain of the house.
But the twist? Contestants were allowed to steal, hide, or snatch other flags, as long as there was no physical harm.
The moment the task started, the house turned into complete chaos.
Lasya immediately ran to the bedroom and hid her flag inside a pillow cover.
Vishal cleverly placed his flag behind the refrigerator, thinking no one would check there.
But the most aggressive gameplay came from Aravind, who teamed up with Bhavana and started hunting down everyone’s hiding spots.
The unexpected hero of the night, however, was Nikhitha. She silently observed the chaos, didn’t attack anyone, and waited for everyone to get tired. Around 3 AM, when most contestants were exhausted, she sneaked out, collected all the scattered flags from the garden area, and protected her own flag in the storage room.
The moment that shocked everyone happened at around 5 AM, when Vishal discovered his flag missing. He accused Aravind of stealing it, but Aravind confidently denied it. Bigg Boss later confirmed that Bhavana had secretly thrown Vishal’s flag inside a bucket of clothes to confuse him.
By 6 AM, contestants were drained, angry, and extremely emotional. When the buzzer ended the task, Bigg Boss revealed the biggest surprise:
Only one contestant successfully protected their flag — Nikhitha.
She was immediately declared the new Captain of the House, leaving everyone speechless.
Some contestants congratulated her, but others were visibly upset, especially those who fought hard the entire night but still lost. Vishal and Lasya looked the most frustrated, feeling their strategies failed at the last minute.
Fans are praising the twist, calling it one of the most exciting captaincy battles this season. Many viewers are also appreciating Nikhitha’s calm and smart gameplay, saying she deserves the captaincy more than anyone else this week.
With the new captain now in control, the house dynamics are expected to shift drastically over the next few days.
