Rohit is leading the Bigg Boss Telugu eighth-week voting with about 29 percent of day-one votes, while actress Varshini is sitting at the bottom with just 5 percent and back in the danger zone.

The numbers came out after a nomination round that already felt like a pressure cooker. Last week, Daksha and Shalini were eliminated in a double elimination, and this week’s voting gap is much wider than the house has seen in recent weeks.

The biggest swing belongs to Rohit. His votes had dropped sharply in the previous weeks, but after Shalini’s elimination his game changed. Fans began pouring votes in his direction, and he has now taken the top position on the day-one board.

Trigun’s Move Puts Vamsi in the Race

The most talked-about strategy this week came from Trigun. He was not nominated himself, yet he placed his friend Vamsi into the nominations. The move worked. Vamsi gathered heavy votes on the very first day and is already moving toward the top spot, sitting in second place with around 21 percent.

Trigun’s fans have rallied behind Vamsi, and that support is the main reason his numbers jumped so quickly. It is a rare case of a contestant gaining momentum not from his own performance alone, but from a housemate’s calculated play.

The Chasing Pack

Behind Rohit and Vamsi, the race is tight. Sudheer holds third place with 10 percent of the votes. Ram Prasad follows with 9 percent, while Ramakrishna and Jhansi are tied at 8 percent each. Shiva rounds out the group with 7 percent.

Ram Prasad is drawing attention for his punchlines and comedy during tasks. Ramakrishna is being noted for continuing to fight his way forward. Jhansi is making her voice heard inside the house, and Shiva has collected some controversies and standout moments along the way. Each of them is close enough that one strong task or one dramatic episode could reshuffle the order.

Varshini Stuck at the Bottom Again

For Varshini, the numbers are a warning sign. She has once again landed in last place with only 5 percent of the votes, placing her firmly in the danger zone. The report points out that this is the same pattern she has followed in recent weeks, with her standing at the bottom in week after week of voting.

What makes this week especially painful for her supporters is the reason behind the low count. Mukesh is not part of this week’s nominations, and his votes did not transfer to Varshini as many expected. According to the report, that absence is the main reason her total stayed so low.

Varshini is in the danger zone every week, and this time her numbers sit at just 5 percent.

Now the question on every fan’s mind is simple. Can Varshini pull off another escape from elimination? The answer will depend on how she performs in the house from here, and whether she can turn the next few days around before the danger becomes a exit.

Rohit’s Comeback and the Cost of Past Controversies

Rohit’s rise is one of the most striking turns of this week. The report notes that some earlier controversies and conduct issues had dragged down his graph for a while. Even so, his arrival from Agnipariksha and his existing base of voters have helped him bounce back.

That mix of past baggage and fresh momentum is what makes his lead so compelling. Fans who had written him off are now voting in large numbers, and the 29 percent figure shows that his support has not disappeared, even after a rough patch.

Why This Week Matters

Voting in Bigg Boss is never just a scoreboard. It shapes who stays, who goes, and which storylines get pushed forward in the house. This week, the numbers show three different forces at work. One is a contestant recovering his popularity. Another is a strategic nomination that created a fast-rising challenger. The third is a player who keeps falling to the bottom and now needs a dramatic turnaround.

The day-one results are only the first signal, and voting is still open. A contestant at 5 percent can climb, and a leader at 29 percent can lose ground. Viewers should expect the standings to move as the week unfolds, and Varshini’s fight to stay in the house is likely to be the one to watch.

For now, the message from the numbers is loud and clear. Rohit is leading, Vamsi is charging, and Varshini is fighting to avoid the exit door.
