Bigg Boss 8 is the eighth season of the Indian Tamil-language version reality television series Bigg Boss. It premiered on 6 October 2024 on Star Vijay and Disney+ Hotstar. Vijay Sethupathi joined as the host for the season marking his first time.[1][2]
The grand finale of the season took place on 19 January 2025, where Muthukumaran Jegatheesan emerged as the winner, while Soundariya Nanjundan was the runner-up.[3]
Jacquline Lydia made history as the most nominated contestant in the Indian Bigg Boss franchise, being consecutively nominated and saved every week of her 15-week stay in the house.[4]
The eye logo was officially released on 4 September 2024. The season's logo was shaped with two grey semi-circles and the numeral 8 in light blue featuring as the pupil of the eye.[5]
The House of this season had a "'Boys vs Girls'" theme.[6] The house was again located in EVP Film City, Chennai for the eighth time, including Bigg Boss Ultimate (season 1).[7] The house is split with a line in the middle dividing the male and female contestants.[8][9] The house has a forest and nature theme for the season. The house has six sections: living area, kitchen, dining and sitting area, bedrooms, garden, and a confession room. This season features two separate bedrooms for the first time since Bigg Boss 5. However, after the eighth week of the show, male and female housemates could sleep in whichever bedroom they wished.
Over seven years, Bigg Boss Tamil aired seasons with Kamal Haasan as host.[10] In August 2024, Kamal Haasan announced his exit from Bigg Boss Tamil,[11] due to scheduling conflicts with his upcoming films.[12][13]
Following his departure, Vijay Sethupathi took over as host for the eighth season.[14][15]
The first promo was released on 11 September 2024, with Sethupathi saying "This time, Aalum Puthusu, Aatamum Puthusu". (transl. "This time, the rules are new, the game is new")[16]
The list of housemates in the order of entering the house:
Host Vijay Sethupathi announced that for the first time in Bigg Boss history there will be an eviction within 24 hours of the grand launch. Sachana Namidass was evicted by fellow housemates in an open nomination process.[40]
On launch day, Bigg Boss announced that the theme of the season is going to be boys vs. girls hence both boys and girls need to collaborate to obtain privileges over the Bigg Boss house facilities with the other gender.[41] Both teams will record their points for each weekly and daily task they win. The team with the most points closer to the end of the season will receive special advantages. However the theme concluded on Day 50 and the individual competition began.
A contestant from each team is interchanged every week to support their respective teams. The two contestants are allowed to directly nominate a contestant from the house for the upcoming eviction process directly.[42]
Each week the teams will need to complete three rounds of tasks assigned by Bigg Boss and the team that wins the most tasks will receive a nomination free pass token which will allow them to save a housemate from their team who is in the present week's nomination list.
Team Boys and Team Girls will need to entertain and perform well every week. At the end of every week, one best performer will be chosen from each team by their housemates, which in turn will reward them with a Goibibo stamp in their Goibibo passport. The Boys vs Girls theme concluded on Day 50. Following that, two or more individuals will be selected by their housemates as the best performers in the house based on their weekly performance. The contestant who collects the most stamps towards the end of the season will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to their dream destination.
Every week, all housemates are required to compete and excel in the weekly task assigned by Bigg Boss. The winner will be awarded a Nomination-Free Pass, granting them immunity from the nomination process in the following week. However, this immunity was revoked by Bigg Boss for the rest of the season due to foul play observed during Week 12's captaincy task, conducted at the end of Week 11.
The A23 Captaincy Streak Leaderboard tracks the captaincy streaks of housemates weekly, with updates featuring their names and achievements. At the end of the season, the housemate with the highest number of captaincies will be awarded a Royal Enfield motorcycle by A23. Evicted housemates become ineligible for this reward. During Week 14, A23 organized a tiebreaker challenge for the remaining contestants on the A23 Captaincy Streak Leaderboard. The task featured Muthukumaran, Vishal, Deepak, and Arun as participants, as they were the only housemates still present in the house and on the leaderboard, while the others—Manjari, Jeffry, Ranjith, Tharshika, and Sathya—had been evicted. Muthukumaran secured victory by being the first to successfully complete the puzzle task.
On Day 98 of Bigg Boss Tamil, the show concluded with Bigg Boss expressing overwhelming admiration for Deepak, declaring him the best captain in the history of all seasons. Deepak earned the prestigious A-23 Captaincy Crown during his eviction, marking a memorable end to his journey in the house.
This is the first season in Bigg Boss history where housemates watched a full-length movie on Netflix as a promotion for the movie and production team.
For the first time in Bigg Boss history, Penultimate Week witnessed the return of the first eight evicted contestants, not as reunion guests but as challengers. In the unprecedented Wild Card Knock-Out (K.O.) task, the Top 8 had to compete against the challengers to defend their positions and secure a spot in the final week. By the end of the task, one or two members of the Top 8 could be replaced by challengers based on performance, while those who fail will face eviction.
However, on Day 99, Bigg Boss concluded, after a discussion he initiated, that the challengers had not made sufficient efforts to replace the Top 6. Acknowledging the consistent performance of the Top 6, he declared that their efforts earned them a place in the finale week.
Unlike other seasons (including BB Ultimate) where the housemate accepts the cash eviction and evicts them self from the game. This season for the first time in Bigg Boss India's history allowed housemates to take the cash and still continue in the game, However housemates will have to leave the Bigg Boss house and run outside of the house where the cash box is placed within a certain meter radius from the house's main door and pick up the box and return to the house within a selected time frame. If the housemate doesn't return to the house within the time they will lose the cash they received and will be evicted from the house hence being unable to continue the game. Each time the housemate runs for the cash box the cash will be deducted from the overall winner cash prize which was initially ₹50,00,000 lakhs. The more cash taken by housemates the lesser the prize money of the winner will be at the end of the season.
