The Week 5 nominations episode of Bigg Boss Telugu 10 (aired Monday, October 5) delivered the season’s most dramatic night yet. Bigg Boss introduced a brand-new nomination format called the “Road Reload” task, and it detonated the house’s two biggest rivalries — Thrigun vs Apoorva and Rohit vs Vamshi — in a single night.
What Is the “Road Reload” Task?
The task flipped the usual nomination routine. Pots bearing housemates’ names were placed on their effigies, and each round’s nominator had to be earned: the first housemate to find a hidden fruit in the house won the right to nominate — by smashing the pot placed on their target’s effigy. Every smash was public, personal, and loaded.
Thrigun vs Apoorva: The Night’s Loudest War
In round one, Ramprasad found the fruit first and nominated Aman — but the round quickly became a backdrop for the real explosion. The Thrigun–Aman quarrel from earlier in the week surfaced again, with Thrigun saying he was being deliberately targeted; the housemates pushed back, saying nobody had said anything about choking anyone to death, and that the Sanchalak would oversee all game rules.
Then came the main event. Thrigun went after Apoorva, saying: “At first you were a butterfly, madam, but now whenever I see you, you’ve become like a buzzing fly in my ear.” He also blamed Apoorva’s lies for Rohit being targeted. Apoorva erupted, accusing him of using abusive language. Thrigun, in a fit of anger, smashed the pot carrying Apoorva’s name — and Apoorva yelled back, “This is what performance means!” The war of words hit its peak, and the house was in uproar.
Apoorva didn’t have a shortage of enemies on the night. Mukesh also nominated Apoorva, and Varshini targeted her in her nomination speech.
Rohit vs Vamshi Heats Up Too
The other flashpoint was a heated argument between Rohit and Vamshi during the process — a rivalry that has been simmering for weeks and shows no sign of cooling.
Known Nominations So Far
- Ramprasad → Aman
- Thrigun → Apoorva (pot smashed in the heat of their clash)
- Mukesh → Apoorva
- Varshini → Apoorva (targeted in her speech)
The full nominated list is still being confirmed from tonight’s episode and will be updated here. With Srushti’s elimination on Sunday, 13 contestants remain in the race, and voting lines are now open ahead of this weekend’s eviction episode with host Nagarjuna.
Why This Week Matters
Week 5 arrives right after the season’s first major shake-up — the Week 4 eviction — and the house equations are being redrawn in real time. The Thrigun–Apoorva war, the Rohit–Vamshi tension, and Apoorva emerging as a group target all make this one of the most unpredictable nomination weeks of the season. If history is any guide, this weekend’s voting will be tight.
