# Bigg Boss Telugu 10: Agnipariksha group talk grows as Red team wins captaincy edge

> Rohith and Shalini drew fresh talk of groupism in the Bigg Boss Telugu 10 house, while the Bhairava Red team won two of three tasks to keep the next captaincy contest among its own members.

The Agnipariksha group was once again the main talking point inside the Bigg Boss Telugu 10 house. Rohith and Shalini play for different teams, but the latest episode suggested their loyalty still sits with their Agnipariksha friends. After the previous episode raised questions about the pair putting the group ahead of their own sides, the Agnipariksha contestants sat down together for a private chat.

Sudheer and a few members of the celebrity group discussed the way Rohith and Shalini operate as a unit. Sudheer compared it to the old tale of a sorcerer whose life rests inside a parrot, saying Rohith's life rests in Shalini. Late at night, once the house was asleep, Rohith sat with Apoorva and tried to bring her closer to the Agnipariksha camp. Rohith and Shalini also shared a hug when nobody was around, talked about their bond and the earlier fight, and Rohith urged her to stay away from fresh arguments.

Bigg Boss then set a numbers based captaincy task, where players solved sums and arranged tiles to form the Bigg Boss logo. Jhansi, Apoorva, Rohith and Varshini stepped up for the Bhairava Red team and picked Shalini, Mukesh, Naresh and Debjani as their opponents, with Trigun as sanchalak. Red won, and Jhansi took Shalini's dagger. Red was then told to drop one Blue player from the contender race, and Trigun was removed, with Apoorva and Rohith pushing hardest. Varshini did not name him and later told Trigun he had been the target.

The next task was for women only. Players sat on a trolley, threw a rope onto a pole, pulled themselves across and planted their team flag. Shalini insisted on playing but stepped back after Rohith spoke to her, saying her day would come. Rohith also objected to Varshini playing for Red, and she asked how she could manage if her own team did not back her. Srishti and Debjani played for Blue, while Varshini and Apoorva played for Red.

Apoorva fell early, and Trigun ruled she was not fit to continue, which left her furious with him. The task restarted after housemates asked for it. Saptha Shakti Blue planted 12 flags to Red's 8 and took two daggers, with Debjani claiming Rohith's and Srishti claiming Varshini's. Since Red won two of the three tasks, Bigg Boss said the next captaincy contenders will come from that team.
