Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8: First Mass Eviction and Wildcard Entries in ‘Bigg Bang Weekend’
Bigg Boss Malayalam 8 is heading for its biggest shake-up yet
Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8 is about to change dramatically. Asianet has released a new promo teasing a mass eviction and game-changing wildcard entries, both set for this weekend’s episodes with host Mohanlal.
The channel is calling it the “Bigg Bang Weekend.” If the promo delivers, several housemates will walk out at once, and new faces will walk straight in. Alliances that took four weeks to build could collapse overnight.
What the promo reveals
The short teaser packs in three big announcements:
- Mass eviction: Multiple contestants will be eliminated together during the weekend episodes, not one by one across the week.
- Wildcard entries: New contestants enter the house right after the eliminations, ready to compete for the title.
- “Bigg Bang Weekend”: The promo frames the weekend as a turning point, with a sand glass running out on the current game.
The message is clear: nobody inside the house is safe, and the game they know is about to end.
Why Mohanlal is shaking things up
The twist did not come out of nowhere. During the last weekend episode, Mohanlal announced a major punishment after the housemates turned in a weak performance across the week.
The result is an unusually large nomination list, with around 18 to 19 contestants reportedly facing the public vote. With that many names in danger, a single eviction would barely move the needle. A mass eviction lets the makers trim the house quickly and reset the game.
Evictions so far in Season 8
Season 8 launched on September 6, 2026, with 21 housemates. It has already seen plenty of drama before this weekend.
| Week | Housemate(s) | How they left |
|---|---|---|
| Week 3 | Shibna | Public vote (announced Sept 27) |
| Week 2 | Laya Jose (Sreelaya) | Public vote (Sept 20) |
| Week 1 | Rini Ann George, Aiamma Dhanya (Fight Master Kaali) | Double eviction (Sept 14) |
| Week 1 | Gayathri Suresh | Day 2 house eviction, later reversed |
Gayathri’s exit was the season’s first big twist. Leader Jaseela chose her for eviction on Day 2, but the new leader, Eldho George, gave up his leadership to bring her back.
What wildcard entries mean for the game
Wildcards are often the most dangerous players in a Bigg Boss house. They have watched the show from outside, so they know who the audience likes, who is playing safe and which friendships are fake.
Expect three things once they arrive:
- Broken alliances: Groups that survive the mass eviction will need to rebuild, and new entrants can tip the balance.
- New targets: Strong existing players may find themselves in the wildcards’ crosshairs from day one.
- Fresh tasks and fights: New personalities usually mean louder nominations and tougher captaincy battles.
Season 8 has already seen wildcards in action. Shibna and Tashi Raj entered together in Week 2 through the Agnipareeksha route.
Where to watch and how to vote
Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8 airs on Asianet, and the 24×7 live stream and full episodes are on JioHotstar.
Voting for the nominated contestants happens on JioHotstar. Voting lines close before the weekend episodes, so fans who want to save a favourite should vote early.
Final thoughts
The Bigg Bang Weekend could be the moment Season 8 truly begins. A mass eviction removes the safe players, and wildcards bring in people who already know the game from outside. Whoever survives this weekend will be playing a very different show next week.
