In its landmark tenth season, Bigg Boss Kannada has been marked by a series of unprecedented events, setting new records and surprising viewers with its twists and turns.

Varthur Santhosh's arrest by forest department officials for wearing a tiger claw pendant on the show made headlines. His subsequent time in jail and return to the reality show created a significant buzz.

Captain Neethu Vanajakshi faced a historic eviction, becoming the first captain to be ousted during her term. This unexpected turn shifted the dynamics within the house.

Thukali Santhosh's entry into the Bigg Boss jail, sanctioned by fellow housemates, highlighted a significant development as a consequence of aiding Varthur Santhosh's escape earlier.

11/11

​Introduction of samartharu and Asamartharu

In the premiere week, Bigg Boss Kannada 10 introduced a unique concept by categorizing contestants into 'Samartharu' (capables) and 'Asamartharu' (non-capables) based on live audience vote share. Asamartharu contestants, with 40% to 80% of votes, faced disadvantages like sleeping and eating on the floor, dishwashing duties, and exclusion from nominations and captaincy. Despite these challenges, they showcased resilience and determination in various tasks.
