Bigg Boss Tamil Season 10, also called Bigg Boss: Carnivizha, is the tenth season of the Tamil edition of Bigg Boss. Vijay Sethupathi is the host for the third year in a row; Ramya Krishnan stood in for him in Week 7. The show airs every day on Star Vijay at 9.30 PM and streams on JioHotstar, which also carries a live feed from the house around the clock. It premiered on Sunday, 6 September 2026, on the same day as the Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam editions.
On launch night, 29 hopefuls pitched themselves on stage and the live audience voted on who got in. Nineteen made it, three of them commoners chosen through the pre-show Bigg Boss – The Common Man. Five wild cards followed: Manivannan on Day 4, Anandhi Ajay on Day 8, and TTF Vasan, Karishma Sama and Akshitha Ashok on Day 28. That makes 24 housemates in all, 14 of whom are still in the house on 6 November 2026. The first seven seasons were hosted by Kamal Haasan.

Where the Lists Disagree
- How many entered on launch night: IANS and The Sunday Guardian both put it at 19. LiveChennai later wrote, on 5 October, that the season began with 21 contestants, but its list includes Anandhi, who came in as a wild card on Day 8. Wikipedia counts 24 housemates in all, wild cards included.
- Asmitha Neelamegam: Wikipedia and The Sunday Guardian list her as a launch-night housemate. The IANS launch report of 6 September does not name her; its list has an “Ashwini” instead.
- Anandhi Ajay: Wikipedia lists her as evicted on Day 20 after a public vote. LiveChennai reported that she left for family reasons.
- Raaghav Ranganathan: Wikipedia lists him as walking out on Day 42 for surgery. TV9 Tamil counted his exit as part of that week’s double exit and said he left because he needed an operation.
- Spellings differ between outlets (Shathiga, Shatiga or Shathika; Dhanyaa or Dhanya; Prithvinath or Prithivinath). This page follows Wikipedia.
Evictions and Exits, Week by Week
- Day 3: Black Pandi walked out after doctors advised him to step away and focus on his health, Pinkvilla reported.
- Day 4: Common Man finalist Manivannan Uppiliappan entered as the first wild card, taking Pandi’s place (LiveChennai).
- Day 5: Savinya Velu was the first housemate out. Housemates voted between Muniyammal, Dhanyaa and Savinya, and Savinya got the most votes, according to Deccan Chronicle.
- Day 8: Actress Anandhi Ajay entered as the second wild card (Wikipedia).
- Day 12: Javeed Sheriff got the most housemate votes and was eliminated (LiveChennai).
- Day 14: Manivannan was evicted in the second-week public vote, Pinkvilla reported.
- Day 19: Lakshmi Priya was voted out by her housemates (Pinkvilla).
- Day 20: Anandhi Ajay left the house. Wikipedia lists it as an eviction; LiveChennai reported she left for family reasons.
- Day 21: Lakshmi Priya, Javeed and Savinya returned for the “Turning Point” twist, each tied by rope to a housemate they challenged (LiveChennai).
- Day 24: Kumaran Thangarajan took the ₹5 lakh cash offer and walked out for family reasons (Pinkvilla).
- Day 28: Savinya was evicted after a public vote and Javeed lost the task, so both left again. The same day TTF Vasan, Karishma Sama and Akshitha Ashok entered as wild cards (Wikipedia; LiveChennai).
- Week 5: no one was evicted. LiveChennai reported that Vijay Sethupathi had announced it, and TV9 Tamil’s count of 16 housemates going into Week 7 agrees.
- Day 42 (18 October): a double exit. Chandini Tamilarasan was evicted, NewsBytes reported, and Raaghav Ranganathan walked out for surgery.
- Week 7: Ramya Krishnan hosted the weekend in place of Vijay Sethupathi, who returned the following week (Cineulagam).
- Day 49 (25 October): Shama M was evicted with the lowest votes. She had chosen not to use her Eviction Free Pass, which made her the first contestant in Bigg Boss history to leave with one unused, Asianet Newsable reported.
- Day 56 (1 November): with all 15 housemates nominated, TTF Vasan used his Eviction Free Pass to save Mukesh (LiveChennai), and wild card Karishma Sama was evicted, NewsBytes reported. This is the latest confirmed eviction.
- Week 9 (from Day 57): Lakshmi Priya is the captain. Akshitha, Avinash, Asmitha, Jason, Muniyammal, Muthazhagi, Prithvinath and Vinoth are nominated (Wikipedia). On 4 November Asianet News Tamil passed on leaked information that Akshitha had been removed in a mid-week eviction. No reliable outlet had confirmed it from the telecast as of 6 November, so she is still listed as in the house. A promo released on 5 November showed Asmitha and Jason getting a secret task (LiveChennai).
