Tensions in the Bigg Boss Kannada 12 house have reached a boiling point following the recent captaincy task. Suraj, known for his straightforward nature, has openly questioned the fairness of the competition, alleging that Bigg Boss orchestrated a specific plan to ensure Gilli Nata became the house captain.
The drama unfolded during a high-intensity "Pair Task" where contestants were grouped to compete for the captaincy race. Initially, Suraj and Rashika had devised a strategic masterplan to eliminate the duo of Gilli and Kavya from the race. However, in a shocking turn of events, the rules or "twists" introduced mid-task resulted in Suraj and Rashika being disqualified instead. This led to Gilli Nata securing his first-ever captaincy in the house—a move that has delighted his massive fan base but left his housemates suspicious.
Suraj expressed his frustration during a post-task discussion, hinting that the task's structure seemed designed to favor Gilli's specific strengths while undermining others' strategies. "It feels like there's a pre-written script to make Gilli the captain," Suraj reportedly remarked to other contestants, suggesting that the "Unexpected Twists" often cited by the show are used to protect certain popular faces.
While Gilli remains one of the most entertaining and "smart" players of the season—recently praised by family members during the "Family Round"—this allegation of favoritism has split the house. Critics of the show on social media have echoed Suraj’s sentiments, while Gilli’s supporters argue that his win was a result of his resilience and "comeback" spirit after facing multiple nominations. As the grand finale approaches in early 2026, these allegations of "fixing" are likely to intensify the rivalry between the remaining 11 contestants.
