Day 8 of Bigg Boss 5 Tamil begins with “Vali Maame Valippu” song. We then get to see Imman Annachi talking to Thamarai Selvi. He advices her not to change and to be true to herself that is important. He asks to throw away others’ opinion. She says that she had understood a lot about herself from Priyanka’s advice last night.
The selection for this week’s leader begin with an interesting task.
A big balloon is tied to each contestant. There are two needles placed in the outdoor. When the bell rings, the contestants have to rush to pick up the needle. Whoever has the needle can burst the balloon of other contestants. The bell will go again and the contestants should keep the needle in its place and wait until the bell goes again. The last contestant standing is the leader for the week.
Everyone fights hard but Niroop dominates the whole game. Abhishek plans for different strategy while Chinnaponnu and Thamarai Selvi doesn’t leave the kitchen. Abhinay begins well but somehow his balloon gets burst.
Later, Abhinay picks up the needle and tries to end Niroop’s game. He says that he is a very strong contestant and he doesn’t want him to be the leader for the week. The contestants fight regarding the rule of the game as Abhinay got eliminated already. Abhinay says that he is just using the game’s loophole but it looks like he was wrong.
He even has a rift with Imman Annachi. Varun and Ciby are also involved in this. As Varun increases his voice to make a point, Imman Annachi gets upset and asks him to lower his voice. After the rule was cleared, all the three moves in.
In the end, Niroop, Chinnaponnu and Thamarai Selvi are left. Niroop couldn’t get past them both as Thamarai Selvi bursts his balloon. All the contestants hugs him for his game.
Thamarai Selvi says that it is Drama art versus Folk now and it is a stage to decide which one is stronger. Chinnaponnu doesn’t like what Thamarai says and she bursts her own balloon, says that it is an accident.
Later, in the bedroom, she says to Priyanka that Thamarai had hurt her and that’s why she had to burst the balloon to stop her from talking. Chinnaponnu says the same to Thamarai and the latter asks sorry.
