Shalini Damera is set to be eliminated from Bigg Boss Telugu Season 10 in Week 6, according to TrackTollywood, which reports she received the least audience votes. The outlet names Vamsi and Varshini as the other two contestants in the bottom three who survived the danger zone.

Pinkvilla reports that host Nagarjuna Akkineni confronted and reprimanded Shalini during the weekend episode for alleged rule violations and use of abusive language. Video footage showed her discussing nominations with fellow contestants, contradicting her earlier claims. Nagarjuna reminded her that house rules apply equally to all contestants.
The episode also saw Temper Vamsi secure his position in the safe zone, with Pinkvilla noting that support from his fanbase and alliances kept him clear of bottom eviction positions. Shalini's elimination is confirmed by both outlets.
TrackTollywood frames the elimination as a straightforward audience-vote result, naming Shalini as the evictee and Vamsi and Varshini as survivors. Pinkvilla leads with Nagarjuna's reprimand of Shalini for rule violations, attributing her exit to conduct rather than votes alone. TrackTollywood omits the host's confrontation entirely, while Pinkvilla omits the audience-vote detail that TrackTollywood centres. The two framings are not contradictory but complementary: one covers the vote outcome, the other the host's public criticism. Pinkvilla also notes that Vamsi, praised by Nagarjuna earlier in the season, strengthened his position through an immunity win and alliances, adding context to his survival. The episode aired on 17 October 2026.
