In a heartwarming and strategic twist, Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12 has entered its highly anticipated "Family Week." While the week is typically known for emotional reunions, this year Bigg Boss added a high-stakes twist: the visiting family members are the ones deciding the next captain. Based on the latest reports and live updates, fan-favorite contestant Gilli Nata has emerged as the clear frontrunner to lead the house in Week 14.
This week, the "Doddmane" (Big House) welcomed the families of Rashika, Suraj, Dhanush, Rakshita Shetty, and Gilli Nata. However, their visit wasn't just for hugs and home-cooked meals. Bigg Boss announced that the next captain would be selected based on the preferences of these family members. Each visitor was asked to pick one contestant (other than their own family member) whom they would like to see as the house leader, by placing their photo on a special board.

The Voting Breakdown
The process has already seen some interesting endorsements:
- Rashika’s Brother: He chose Suraj, noting that Suraj put in immense effort in the previous week's captaincy task but narrowly missed out.
- Suraj’s Sister (Ashwini): She cast her vote for Ashwini Gowda, praising her 100% effort and significant improvement in recent physical tasks.
- Dhanush’s Mother: She turned the tide in favor of Gilli Nata. While she mentioned liking Ashwini, she stated her fondness for Gilli’s humor and entertainment value, officially giving him his first visible vote.

Gilli Nata: The Leading Candidate
While the televised episodes show a close race, Live Feed updates suggest that Gilli Nata has secured a total of four votes from various visiting family members. His ability to balance comedy with game strategy has clearly won over the families watching from the outside. If these numbers hold, Gilli Nata is set to be crowned the Captain of Week 14, granting him crucial immunity and a direct path toward the final weeks of the competition.
