Bigg Boss Telugu 9 Shocking Elimination: Top Contestant Evicted in Week 13 Twist

According to reliable inside sources, Week 13 nominations of Bigg Boss Season 9 have led to one of the most unexpected eliminations of the season. Six contestants—Rithu, Sanjana, Suman Shetty, Demon Pavan, Bharani and Tanuja—were in the danger zone this week, and early predictions suggested that either Suman Shetty or Sanjana was most likely to be evicted. However, the latest update indicates a completely different outcome.

As per insider information, the contestant eliminated this week is Rithu Chowdhary, considered one of the strongest names in the nominations list. This surprising development has reportedly changed the course of the game entirely.

Online polls, YouTube voting trends, and weekly performance indicators all pointed towards Suman Shetty or Sanjana being the probable evictees. Yet, in a major twist, Bigg Boss has opted to send Rithu out of the house.

Sources reveal that Rithu was actually among the Top 2 in votes this week. However, the intense clash between Rithu and Sanjana last week is said to have played a crucial role in altering audience sentiment. Sanjana confronting Rithu about her equation with Demon Pavan triggered a significant controversy inside and outside the house. Even though the show appeared to frame Sanjana as the one at fault, viewers largely supported her.

Due to this unexpected public backing, Sanjana—who usually finds herself in the lower voting bracket—reportedly jumped straight into the Top 2 in voting polls. This shift highlights how dissatisfaction over Rithu’s behaviour had been building among viewers.

Reports also indicate that Rithu’s closeness and content with Demon Pavan had been drawing negative reactions for weeks. When Sanjana addressed the issue openly, discussions intensified, but the audience sided clearly with Sanjana rather than Rithu.

Despite the controversy, Rithu remained one of the season’s top performers in tasks. She excelled consistently and even reached the Top 2 in the First Finalist tasks. But Bigg Boss, as insiders point out, is not just about task performance—contestant behaviour and audience connection play a major role in survival. This week’s eviction strongly reinforces that.

Even as one of the strongest players throughout the season, Rithu’s eviction stands as Week 13’s biggest shocker, say sources.
