Kamal Haasan, the host of Bigg Boss Tamil Season 4, kept the audience entertained with his wit and humor on Saturday, November 21st. He playfully teased the contestants about their actions and offered insightful advice. He emphasized the importance of time and encouraged viewers to exercise their right to vote, making for a lively episode. Highlights from the previous Friday’s episode, including the reconciliation between Anitha and Aari, were also shown.
Kamal Haasan stressed the significance of time management by referencing a recent 45-hour task, the longest of the season. Contestants had to track time independently and complete assigned tasks within the allotted period. He praised Rio, Jithan Ramesh, and Gabriella for their precision. He also commented on a mock fight between Archana and Nisha during the task, commending their creativity and drawing a parallel to potential future conflicts over scarce resources like water.
Haasan shared an anecdote about a past interaction with legendary actor-politician MG Ramachandran. He recounted an incident during the filming of the song “Ilamai Idho Idho” from the movie “Sakalakalavallavan,” where he cut his face while breaking a glass. MGR, then Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, reprimanded Haasan for his carelessness.
Shifting the focus to the time task, Kamal Haasan lauded Anitha Sampath for her impersonation of MR Radha. He then addressed Balaji Murugadoss, Suchitra, and Ramya Pandian, questioning Balaji’s calculation of 3 hours as 1 hour. Haasan emphasized the importance of following rules to maintain the integrity of the game and ensure fair play for all contestants. He warned Balaji that disregarding the rules could hinder his progress in the competition.
Two new tasks were introduced by the host. The first involved revealing a secret about a fellow contestant, but most played it safe, resulting in no significant revelations. The second task required contestants to distribute boxing gloves to strong competitors and cardboard knives to those perceived as weaker. Balaji Murugadoss received numerous gloves and four knives, while Jithan Ramesh received five knives and Nisha a few. Sanam, Archana, Gabriella, Shivani, and Somsekhar received neither, potentially indicating a more cautious game strategy.
To reveal who was safe from eviction, Kamal Haasan invited Sanam to open a glove. Glove number 7 revealed Aari’s name, securing his safety. Following a request from the contestants, Aajeedh opened glove number 9, revealing Rio as the second contestant safe from elimination. Both Aari and Rio expressed gratitude to their supporters. While this episode didn’t reveal who was eliminated, it heightened anticipation for the next elimination announcement. The focus on Aari and Rio’s safety implies other contestants are at risk.
