The
April
16
episode
of
Bigg
Boss
Kannada
8
begins
with
Bigg
Boss
announcing
that
the
captaincy
contender
task
will
be
ending
soon.
He
asks
all
the
girls
to
bring
their
letters
and
wardens
Nidhi
Subbaiah
and
Prashanth
Sambargi
to
count
them.
Divya
Suresh
ends
up
producing
the
most
number
of
letters
followed
by
Vaishnavi
Gowda
and
Priyanka
Thimmesh.
This
is
followed
by
BB
asking
the
wardens
to
count
the
boy's
letter
and
qualify
them
post-inspection.
Rajeev
Hanu
doesn’t
like
the
fact
that
Nidhi
has
rejected
a
few
of
his
letters.
He
tries
reasoning
with
her
Prashanth.
Eventually,
Aravind
KP
emerges
as
the
male
contestant
with
most
letters.
Bigg
Boss
then
asks
the
wardens
to
choose
one
contestant
who
displayed
great
performance
in
the
task.
Prashanth
and
Nidhi
take
Divya
Suresh’s
name.
However,
since
she
was
already
qualified
for
having
the
most
number
of
letters,
a
few
housemates
express
displeasure
with
Prashanth
and
Nidhi’s
choice.
In
the
end,
only
three
contestants
namely
Aravind,
Divya
S
and
Nidhi
move
on
to
the
captaincy
task.
Soon,
Nidhi
and
Rajeev
are
the
next
contestants
to
get
an
opportunity
to
read
the
letters
that
are
written
to
them
by
their
family
members.But
they
would
have
to
perform
a
skipping
task
to
earn
the
letter
and
we
see
Rajeev
defeating
Nidhi
and
receiving
his
letter.
He
gets
extremely
emotional
upon
reading
the
letter.
Later,
Bigg
Boss
asks
all
contestants
to
move
inside
the
house
after
the
blinds
come
down
in
the
garden
area.
But
Shubha
Poonja
keeps
requesting
Bigg
Boss
to
let
her
play
in
the
house.
After
some
time,
BB
opens
the
curtains
and
lets
everyone
play
in
the
rain.
This
is
closely
followed
by
the
captaincy
task
where
we
the
three
contenders
hold
on
to
a
bucket
that
has
25
per
cent
of
their
body
weight.
Nidhi
Subbaiah
is
the
first
one
to
move
out
and
we
see
Divya
Suresh
struggling
to
hold
on
to
her
rope.
Eventually,
Aravind
KP
wins
the
task
and
becomes
the
new
captain
of
the
house.
