The twelfth episode of Bigg Boss Agnipariksha has unfolded with heated confrontations, high-stakes challenges, and warnings from the host and judges. The episode intensified the drama by introducing the issue of two yellow cards , based on the contestants’ performance.
The episode titled “Master and Puppets” consisted of mini pariksha and main pariksha , both challenges testing the contestants’ bold take in expressing their opinion and their attitude when they had to team up with people they disagreed with.
In the mini-pariksha, the contestants had to assign tags to their peers, sparking debates. Shreya tagged Sreeja as “clever”, while Divya labelled Manish as “over smart,” for which most of the contestants agreed.
Priya called Shakib’s game “Boring,” and Harish tagged Shweta as a “Hypocrite” for her words in the previous task. Prasanna tagged Naga as “Dumb” and Harisha as “Egoist” but failed to provide valid reasons, drawing criticism from the judges and the host. The mini-pariksha came to an end with Pavan Kalyan tagging Demon Pavan “Immature”, Anusha labelling Dahlia as “Loser”, and nobody having any opinion towards Kalki.
The main pariksha was a puppet play, where contestants who gave and received the tags needed to pair up and transfer the sweets from a plate to a bowl blindfolded, solely depending on the other person’s guidance.
During the task, Sreemukhi fired up when Shakib violated the rules by rehearsing. Shakib, along with Priya, was out of the game. Naga and Prasanna emerged as the winners of the main pariksha, where Naga relinquished the vote appeal to Prasanna.
Naga was crowned Most Valuable Player (MVP), while Prasanna’s unclear tagging and Shakib’s rule violation earned them yellow cards.
The pre-show is hosted by Sreemukhi and led by a judging panel consisting of Bigg Boss alumni Abijeet, Bindu Madhavi, and Navdeep. The main show is set to premiere on September 7th, hosted by Nagarjuna, featuring an innovative dual-house format.
