If you thought Week 1 of Bigg Boss Kannada 12 would be a warm-up, think again. The season barely took off when the game flipped — eliminations, re-entries, and emotions all in one explosive week. The first shock came when YouTuber Rakshita Shetty was eliminated within 24 hours of entering the house. Viewers called it unfair, housemates were stunned — and just when the noise began to fade, Rakshita walked back in, ready to reclaim her space.
But Bigg Boss wasn’t done yet. While everyone was still processing her return, host Kichcha Sudeep revealed a twist no one saw coming — a double elimination in the very first week! Usually, this kind of drama is saved for finale territory, but as Sudeep had warned earlier, “This season is not like the others.” True to his words, the show delivered a shocker that left even the most composed contestants rattled.
The week’s nominations had already turned the house into a pressure cooker. Contestants like Gilli, Kavya Shaiva, and Dhanush were relieved to be declared safe. The spotlight soon narrowed to two pairs — RJ Amith & and acclaimed body builder LM Karibasappa, and Abhishek & Ashwini. After a tense moment of silence, Sudeep announced that Amith and Karibasappa would be leaving the house together. The decision hit hard, especially for fans who saw potential in both.
Sudeep, however, kept things graceful. “It’s not about playing badly,” he told them. “Sometimes one’s game influences another’s — maybe that’s why both had to go together.” His parting words to Amit added a human touch: “You have talent, thought, and purpose. Keep moving forward with the same energy.”
Meanwhile, Rakshita’s comeback brought back the spark. The Mangaluru girl, who had exited too soon, re-entered with quiet confidence and a dash of humour. “Inside the Bigg Boss house, no one is big or small. Everyone stands equal. I’ll go back in and ask for the right reason,” she said.
The first week has already rewritten the rulebook — eliminations that feel unfair, comebacks that feel deserved, and emotions that feel real. With Rakshita back and two out, Bigg Boss Kannada 12 seems to be living up to its tagline — expect the unexpected.
