Bigg Boss Kannada OTT Day 2: Sonu Srinivas Gowda leads nomination board; PowerPlay winner Somanna names Sonu and Aryavardhan

Looks like Sonu Srinivas Gowda is not only the most disliked contestant by audiences, but by fellow housemates also. The social media influencer was nominated by seven other contestants, all of who took objection to her childish behaviour and the way she reacts to situations in the house. Spoorthy Gowda had five of her housemates nominate her, while numerology guru Aryavardhan was nominated by four contestants.

The couple Jashwanth and Nandu, who will be considered as one entity during the nomination process, got three votes from housemates, as do Kiran Yogeshwar and Jayshree Aradhya, making up the top six nominations of the week. It is now up to audiences to vote and decide who will leave the house this week on Saturday. The nomination process in the confession room happened around 2.45 pm on day 2, after which, the top nominated contestants were reflected on the why for a while.

By evening, though, Bigg Boss brought in the first twist of the nomination process. For starters, it was announced that all 16 were nominated, but based on the Powerplay votes on Voot Select, Somanna Machimada was the most popular contestant among audiences, and was saved from nomination. However, he was asked to name two contestants, who would not be allowed to participate in the tasks that could give them a chance to be saved. He names Sonu and Aryavardhan, which kind of seals their fate. Of course, it now depends on audience votes to see who will leave the house this week.

The first task was a board game for which the contestants were split into four teams. The board would give contestants the option to nominate or save team mates, among others. Kiran and Arjun were nominated during the game. While nominating Arjun, Sanya’s team said that they were sure that his constituency would not allow him to leave and that they knew he would be saved by audience votes. Jayshree and Lokesh also join the list of nominated contestants during the course of the game. Jashwanth, Nandu, Chythraa are the lucky ones who are saved as per the rules of the game.

This is the first-ever OTT only season of Bigg Boss Kannada. The show kicked off on August 6 with 16 contestants, namely, Aryavardhan, Sonu Srinivas Gowda, Roopesh Shetty, Chythrra Hallikeri, Sanya Iyer, Rakesh Adiga, Spoorthy Gowda, Jayshree Aradhya, Lokesh Kumar, Akshara Kuki, Kiran Yogeshwar, Uday Surya, Arjun Ramesh, Jashwanth Bopanna, Nandu and Somanna Machimada.
