The weekend episodes of Bigg Boss Tamil 8, hosted by Vijay Sethupathi, delivered high-voltage drama and candid moments. This week, veteran actor-director Ranjith bid farewell to the Bigg Boss house, while VJ Vishal faced sharp criticism for his captaincy. Vijay Sethupathi didn’t hold back as he called out Vishal’s favoritism and Anshida’s aggressive behavior, keeping the housemates on their toes.
Vijay Sethupathi Criticizes Anshida
The Saturday episode began with Sethupathi praising the contestants for their efforts during the previous week’s tasks and acknowledging their 75-day milestone in the house. However, his appreciation was tempered with criticism, particularly for Anshida.
Sethupathi highlighted her overly aggressive behavior and use of offensive language during the task. Anshida attempted to defend herself, but Sethupathi shut her down, emphasizing that all the housemates had echoed similar concerns. He reminded everyone to prioritize the well-being of their fellow contestants during tasks.
Vishal’s Captaincy Under Fire
Sethupathi then shifted his focus to VJ Vishal’s controversial stint as captain. While some housemates, like Rayan, noted that Vishal started strong, others, including Jacqueline, Pavithra, and Muthukumaran, accused him of bias, particularly favoring Anshida while being harsh on others.
Although Vishal denied the allegations, Sethupathi pointed out the importance of accepting criticism along with praise. After a heated discussion, Sethupathi reiterated that impartial leadership was critical for maintaining harmony in the house.
Muthukumaran’s Task Failure
The host also questioned Muthukumaran about his lackluster performance in the captaincy task, which led to its cancellation and negatively impacted Pavithra. Muthukumaran admitted to being distracted, but Sethupathi made it clear that such lapses not only affected individual performances but also the collective spirit of the house.
Jacqueline and Muthukumaran Labeled Attention-Seekers
During a segment where housemates were asked to name contestants they found intrusive or attention-seeking, the majority pointed to Jacqueline and Muthukumaran. The duo defended their actions, stating they were only fulfilling their duty by voicing their opinions.
Ranjith’s Eviction
The highlight of the weekend was the eviction announcement. Sethupathi called the nominated contestants together and revealed Ranjith as the evictee. The veteran actor-director gracefully accepted his elimination, calling his time in the Bigg Boss house a “workshop” and expressing gratitude for lasting 75 days.
In a heartwarming moment, Ranjith reunited with his wife, Priya Raman, who was present in the audience.
What’s Next?
With Ranjith’s eviction and sharp critiques from Vijay Sethupathi, the dynamics in the Bigg Boss house are bound to shift. As the competition intensifies, housemates must navigate the challenges ahead while keeping their emotions in check.
