New contestants entering the Bigg Boss house in the early days of the competition can change the dynamics of the house.
Bigg Boss Telugu 10 is all set for another big twist. If reports are to be believed, the makers are planning to have wild card contestants from the Agni Pariksha show.
The current season started with 16 contestants, and after two evictions, there are 14 housemates left competing for the title. If the latest reports are anything to go by, the makers may soon add four more contestants to the competition.
The contestants being speculated as possible wild card entries are Apoorva, Mithilesh, Deepak and Ramakrishna.
The format is similar to last season, when contestants from Agni Pariksha got a chance to enter the Bigg Boss house in the initial weeks of the season.
As per reports, this time the makers are planning to bring in four contestants. There can be a new dimension of competition, and equations inside the house may change.
Will Apoorva or Ramakrishna get a second chance?
If rumours are true, then Apoorva and Ramakrishna are the two names likely to enter.
Both contestants did Agni Pariksha, but could not create as big an impact as they might have wished. There were speculations that Ramakrishna might get a chance to enter Bigg Boss Telugu 10, as he reportedly won a lot of sympathy during the later episodes of the show.

But he was not among the initial entries. Apoorva’s possible entry could also add some interesting dynamics inside the house. Reportedly, her equation with Rohith was not very smooth during Agni Pariksha. Her coming might affect the existing equation involving Rohith, Shalini and Srishti.
Mithilesh and Deepak are also in the race for the wild card entries. But, according to reports, they may have a lesser chance of entering the house now than Apoorva and Ramakrishna.
The makers have not officially announced the names of the wild card contestants yet.
Wild cards can turn the game around
New contestants entering the Bigg Boss house in the early days of the competition can change the dynamics of the house. Existing friendships could be tried, new rivalries could develop and contestants who have already made their mark may have to accommodate the newcomers.
The makers had earlier used the Agni Pariksha route to introduce contestants to the Bigg Boss house and a similar approach this season might give another boost to the reality show in the coming episodes.
The names doing the rounds are Apoorva, Ramakrishna, Mithilesh and Deepak but the official wild card list will be out soon from the show.
