Bigg Boss Telugu 10: Wild card Shiva Kumar loses his first game to Trigun

Shiva Kumar walked into the Bigg Boss Telugu 10 house as the season's first wild card entry in the October 11 episode. Within hours he had lost his first game.

Host Nagarjuna had said a day earlier that five wild card contestants would come in during the same week as an elimination.

Before Shiv went inside, Nagarjuna tested whether the housemates could guess who the newcomer was. He asked them to raise a hand and then say the name. Shalini kept shouting "Shiv" before her turn, and the host told her off for ignoring his instructions.

On stage, Shiv named Shalini and Charan as his targets. He said Shalini looked like she had come for Rohit, not for the trophy. Shalini said his view would change once he was inside the house. Nagarjuna answered that the audience never walks into the house and judges only what it sees, and she went quiet. Shiv then told Charan he had been lucky but was not really playing.

Nagarjuna gave him a briefcase holding two lakh rupees and two badges meant for housemates in the danger zone. Shiv pinned the badges on Naresh and Mukesh.

He picked Trigun as his opponent, saying Trigun's power interested him. If Shiv won, that power would pass to him and the money would stay out of the prize pool. If Trigun won, the two lakh would go into the prize money. Trigun won quickly, and Shiv got washroom duty as his punishment. He did not seem worried. He said the money was now in the prize pool, and he planned to win that pool in the end anyway.

Rohit and Shalini later talked about his comments and decided to ignore them. They told each other they were stronger players than Varshini and Vamsi.
